Needing a new project for January? Need to fill those long hours of lockdown with a project? Or just fancy making something personal for your home or for a gift?

Learning macrame can be therapeutic, enjoyable and result in a new skill.

We found some great tools to help you on your journey.

My French Twist is great for teaching the basics to start you off on your making – snd of of course, with a French twist.

The Spruce Crafts help you to master the seven basic knots to master macrame.

We love this beautiful inspirational Macrame book from Wish at just £14.

And for modern approach the Emily Katz book available from Amazon is great. It’s the ultimate guide, bursting at the seams with ideas to create items for the home.

A great place to find well priced lighting with modern design twists is made.com. Their Ayo ceiling light is one of our favourites right now.

We love the retro five arm design in black & gold. It will not go out of style and is perfect for over a dining table or in a living room.

There is also a table lamp and wall light to match.

Continuing the search for great new storage for a new year, we found this beautiful mango wood piece from Zara Home.

If you’re looking to re style a room, or desperate for more good storage post Christmas, then a sideboard is an elegant and functional option. Hide anything and everything behind the doors and then create a pleasing styled homeware display on the top.

It’s worth the investment in decent 100% solid wood as this piece will last and is timeless in style and design.

It’s nice to have a little project for January, for the new year (…for lockdown) and to create something personal for the home.

Designing and creating your own clock is simple and then you can personalise this piece of homeware to the colours and style of your own interior.

You can pick up clock blank faces with the mechanism from eBay, Amazon, and craft shops like HobbyCraft .

We’ve collated lots of great designs but you simply need paint and masking tape and you’re ready to go.

We love TheSpruceCrafts tutorial.

New year, new look for the home? We always need more storage and this beautiful Piano Sideboard from Next will make a great feature as well as good starting point for a new design and look for a room.

This ‘Solid dark stained mango wood furniture with solid marble table tops and panelled detailing. Featuring gold effect accents.’ is a great piece to invest in. The neutral marble and wood palette would sit alongside many colour themes – minimal and white; rich maximalist with deep jewel colours; and even mixed woods with a boho feel.
