A post shared by Claire Douglas – DIY & home styling on a budget (@clairedouglasstyling)

Hi there!

I'm Claire

I’m Claire, an award-winning DIY, interiors and lifestyle blogger sharing creative ideas for making your home, travels and everyday life feel more stylish without spending a fortune.

After 12 years working in corporate London project management, I swapped office life for paintbrushes, power tools and content creation, building my ‘bespoke on a budget’ approach around clever styling, practical DIY, layered savings and affordable luxury.

On my blog you’ll find DIY tutorials, home renovation projects, affordable garden projects, interiors inspiration, budget-friendly travel ideas, London days out, hotel reviews, money-saving tips and honest recommendations that actually work in real life. From wall panelling and microcement projects to affordable family travel, hidden London gems and ways to make your budget stretch further, everything here is based on personal experience in our real family home and out-and-about adventures.

I’ve written for magazines including Woman & Home and Real Homes, appeared on panels at events including the Ideal Home Show and Grand Designs Live, and built a community of over 200,000 followers across social media who love creative ideas that look far more expensive than they are.
