Proud supporters of Don’t Move, Improve! 2021
We are proud to be supporting the upcoming Don't Move, Improve! Awards to encourage great design in everyday life, celebrating the newest and most innovative home improvement projects from across London. The annual competition – now celebrating its 11th year – showcases the diversity and character of homes being re-designed in London.
Reimaging awkward layouts to create vibrant new living spaces, as well as beautiful detailing and craftsmanship; the projects featured in Don’t Move, Improve! demonstrate exceptional innovation, cost-effectiveness and creativity that greatly adds to the neighborhoods of London and to the quality of life of the residents.
With an annual exhibition, magazine and regular advice sessions with architects, engineers and designers the programme aims to celebrate London’s best domestic-scale designs and encourage homeowners to embark on their own home improvement project.
