 Stylish butterfly hooks There are lots of very nice hooks on the market at the moment, but some of the butterfly themed ones can be a bit too girly, pink or pastelly.
These ones get over that problem very effectively, as they’re an all over black design. The butterflies have been intricately cut, so you see all the detail on their wings, and the noir works beautifully against a white or cream wall.
Use them as stylish coat hooks, in a bedroom or even in the kitchen, to hang tea towels from.
The set of three black butterfly hooks are available from Urban Outfitters, for £9.

Once a upon a time, this handy pot was a rice bag. Now, thanks to a fairtrade project in Cambodia, it’s been recycled and given a new life as a plant pot, pen pot or washing up liquid holder.
Each recycled rice bag pot is handmade and no two are the same. The pot comes in a choice of six colours - red, orange, yellow, turqouise, navy and pink - and each measures 13cm by 15cm.
Use them to house your pots of herbs in the kitchen, on your desk for pens and accessories, or as a general purpose tidy pot.
The fairtrade recycled pots are a great example of the effectiveness of recycling and are only £5.50 each from Recycle-Recycle on Not On The High Street.

 Stunning bookshelf This clever animal bookshelf, called Junior, is in the shape of a polar bear and comes in brushed stainless steel, or shiny white.
It was designed by Benoit Convers and made by Ibride, and is available from Made in Design.
There are numerous shelves, so you can fill up the spaces with all your books. It would be great for a child’s room, but just as fun used by an adult too.
Junior the polar bear bookcase is available from Made In Design, where you can also find his big brother, Joe, too.

Hang your coats in style, on this creative wave design coat rack.
Designed by J-me (not to be confused with Jamie Oliver’s Jme), and made from powder coated mild steel the wave design coat rack can hold coats (up to15, apparently), as well as gloves and scarves.
As well as the waves, that act as coat hangers, there’s also a handy little shelf at the back, and at the top, that you can use for extra storage. It could be the perfect spot for putting your keys, for example, or even your glasses.
To add this stylish modern coat rack to your home, pop over to All Up and On, where it’s available for £40.

 Bright crochet storage stool We’ve been having a bit of an ongoing ‘love it, or hate it?’ debate about these crochet storage stools ever since they appeared on sale at Plumo.
The stool idea is nice and practical, as there’s plenty of space inside to stow away your clutter. Although the crochet tops are on trend, they’re a bit of a blast from the past too and not one we’re entirely convinced about.
But whilst some of us definitely wouldn’t pay £119 for them - the original price - now that they’re dropped down, we’re beginning to be more tempted.
Last week Home Gems reported them to be £79, but now they’ve fallen even more and are down to only £45 - a much more realistic price than £119.
What do you think? Are you tempted to buy one? You’ll find them available at Plumo, in a choice of pink, purple or green.

 Handy storage pots These two colourful storage pots are Fair Trade products and would be handy for storage purposes in the kitchen, or other parts of your home (I rather fancy storing sweets or nibbles in one on my desk).
They come sold as a set of two and are available at the reduced price of £15 from Plumo.

 Stylish storage stool There’s nothing ordinary about this black leather stool.
The stylish stool is given extra appeal by its clever faceted look - not something you see all that often with stools like these.
What’s more, in addition to looking attractive, the faceted element comes into its own when the stool is opened up to reveal plenty of useful storage space inside.
It would be great for using for occasional seating needs, or even as a side table. Plus, it’s the ideal place to hide away all your clutter from prying eyes, helping your lounge, dining room, conservatory or bedroom look tidy.
The black leather Cado stool measures 47cm by 47cm by 46cm and is made to order from Amode.

 Gorgeous gold boxes
Storage boxes are a great way of getting your clutter under control and can be used for all sorts of storage needs.
This set of three square boxes, in small, medium and large, are a bit of a bargain at only £5 for the set, from Urban Outfitters.
Alternatively, use them instead of wrapping paper to pop your Christmas gifts in.
