Updated 6 years ago
Make organisation a little bit more appealing this new year with this selection of beautiful 2020 diaries and planners.
2020 has officially arrived, and the season of resolutions, goal setting and habit building is well and truly underway. As we begin a new year – and look at the 366 days ahead of us – it’s the perfect time to get organised and take stock of all the things we want to achieve over the next 12 months.
While the idea of “new year, new me” may not be everyone’s cup of tea, we can all benefit from taking the time to reflect on the year just gone and what’s coming up – and to help us do just that, you’ll want to grab yourself one of the many 2020 diaries currently on offer.
There truly is a diary out there for everyone – whether you prefer a monthly, weekly or daily layout, there’s plenty of patterns, prints and designs to pick from.
So, without further ado, here’s Stylist’s guide to all the best diaries, agendas and planners available for 2020. If you’re addicted to stationery (who isn’t?) get ready to feel very overwhelmed.
Papier Upcycled Leather Wreath Diary in Pine Green
Newly-available for Christmas 2019, Papier’s upcycled leather diaries are the perfect choice for anyone looking to add a bit of luxury to their 2020 plans.
Available in two different styles – monogram and wreath – and with options to customise the colour of both the leather and the foiling on the front cover, these diaries are a beautiful treat. We especially love the wreath option with the green leather and gold foiling.

Martha Brook’s range of personalised, beautifully designed stationery is definitely one to consider if you like to customise the look of your diary.

We love this Botanical diary for its weighty, hardback design and the wire binding which allows the diary to lie flat on the table.
