Don’t Move, Improve! encourages great design in everyday life, celebrating the newest and most innovative home improvement projects from across London. The annual competition – now celebrating its thirteenth year – showcases the diversity and character of homes being re-designed in London.

Our programme theme for 2023 is: GREEN AMBITIONS

Ever increasing costs of materials and resources and the climate emergency are having a big impact on the residential and construction sectors across London, but how can we tackle these issues from a homeowner's perspective?

This year’s programme will explore how the residential sector is responding to rising energy costs, exploring new and innovative ways of living, refurbishing, and improving our homes in a cost-effective way, alongside sharing trends and tips on how to make our dwellings greener, more sustainable, and resilient for a changing climate.

Our annual programme celebrates the awards competition and explores current trends across the residential sector via one-to-one consultations, winner and launch events and our annual publication.
