We tend to take the beauty of letters for granted as they are everywhere we look; however, in her new book, Letter Crafts (12.99, Cico Books), Clare Youngs celebrates their diversity by showing how to use different typefaces to create stylish home decorations.

Initials are ideal for personalised pieces – these neat cutout notebooks make fabulous gifts.
