Making space for what matters

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.

What I do

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 judgement, no pressure, just putting what matters in its
proper place.

How it works

1

Let's chat

We'll begin by having a free 30-minute consultation call to understand your space,
project and goals.

No commitments or cost - just a chance to connect and understand your needs.

2

Let's plan

After our call, I’ll visit your space and we can determine if any storage solutions or equipment are required, and finalise the details before we get started.

Charged at £40 per hour.

This could act as the first hour of your project session, if no/little storage solutions are required.

Let's go

Let the transformations begin!

I'll arrive on our chosen day with any pre-agreed storage solutions and get to work.

Charged at £40 per hour​ or
£35 per hour for a booking
of 4+ hours.

Out of hours (pre-9am and post-5pm) and weekends are charged at £60 per hour.

Good to knows

Storage solutions

If storage solutions are needed, these will be agreed with you and invoiced at cost to you on completion of the project.​​​

Removal of rubbish or waste 

Removal of rubbish or waste can be taken to a local recycling centre for an additional cost.

Removal of cluttered items

Removal of cluttered items will be taken away and given to local charity shops or homeless organisations. Larger items, such as furniture will be discussed based on size and removal location.​

Selling items

Once we've categorised everything, there might be some items you wish to sell to make some extra cash. If this is the case, they will be your responsibility to sell - but I can guide you in the right direction.

Travel

I'm based just outside of Pocklington, East Yorkshire. Travel is free for the first 20 miles, then charged at 50p per mile thereafter. If paid for parking is required, this will be agreed with you and invoiced at cost to you on completion of the project.

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!
