Hello! I’m Lydia, founder of Proper Place Projects.
A professional organising service based in East Yorkshire, dedicated to creating calm, clutter-free spaces that support your everyday life.
With a background in project and client management, I bring a practical, thoughtful approach to every space. Whether it’s a single room or a full home reset, my goal remains the same: making space for what matters most.
If your cupboards, drawers, or rooms feel overwhelming, I’m here to help you reclaim your space by decluttering, sorting, and organising in a way that works for you.
I offer support for kitchens, pantries, utility rooms, wardrobes, bedrooms, children’s play areas, living spaces, and garages - plus digital decluttering and organising for those who need support with emails, filing, or software.
This isn’t just tidying, it’s about helping you feel lighter, clearer, and more in control.
No judgment, no pressure, just putting what matters in its proper place.
I was a little nervous about someone coming in to help sort out our cupboards etc. But I shouldn’t have worried. Lydia is very professional, supportive and well organised. If you want to work together (we did), you are supported to make the decisions. She gave me the encouragement to keep going but was happy to do it herself. The results were just what I wanted - it’s a pleasure to open the pantry doors. Plenty more ideas of where to go next. Thank you!
There was a daunting amount to do in one day, and I was not sure how it could be achieved. Lydia managed to combine a calm sense of purpose and vision with extraordinary energy and determination. She remained utterly focussed throughout the day, and with her encouragement and good humour enabled easy decision-making. I cannot believe what she managed to achieve, and how she shored up my spirits when I started flagging. Her judgement and organisational skills are impeccable, and we are absolutely delighted with the result - I got my pantry back! Thank you so much.
Well, Proper Place Projects was the service I did not know I needed – until now! Lydia has now been back to our home twice and hopefully will return again. Her professionalism is second to none and although I consider myself a tidy person, I am quite clearly a hoarder of all things useless to my life! Not anymore. The kitchen runs more smoothly as everything has a place and is more streamlined, who needed 5 drinks flasks anyway!! I would highly recommend Proper Place Projects to anyone who just may need a nudge in getting rid of things we thought we perhaps needed when life was different, for example, running a family kitchen but now there are only two of us. A must for anyone moving house or just needs a refresh, you never know what you may find!! Huge thanks and do come back!
