Celebration of Home: Don't Move, Improve! 2021

Start: 01 July 2021 - 08:00
End: 18 March 2022 - 18:00

Unit 5, Coal Drops Yard, London, N1C 4DQ

Launching NLA’s new pop-up space at Coal Drops Yard, the popular Don’t Move, Improve! exhibition is back to inspire and celebrate London’s best-designed and most innovative home extensions.

This year's exhibition will be focusing on the Celebration of Home where we will be reflecting on our time spent at home over the past year and explore opportunities to make our homes work better for us.

With space at a premium in our busy capital, more and more Londoners are choosing to adapt and expand their existing homes rather than upsizing or moving on – and talented architects are responding to homeowners’ needs in myriad ways to help make the most of their space. 

Featuring the nine winning homes from this year’s Don’t Move, Improve! competition through photography, videos, models and product samples, this exhibition showcases the best interventions to Londoners’ homes completed in the last two years, at a range of budgets – extending outwards, upwards, or downwards. This free exhibition displays a wealth of inspiration for those looking to embark on their own home improvements.
