Hi! I’m Dita Lee, your seasoned navigator through the fascinating world of period home restoration and heritage style interior design. I've founded Period Property Club to help other homeowners simplify their own property restoration journeys by removing the overwhelm and giving them more joy and fulfilment along the way.
With more than two decades of experience in renovating and transforming homes, background in mechanical engineering, interior design and with love for all things DIY, I'm here to share with you what works and what doesn't. I'm also here to help you find that sweet spot between respecting the historical integrity of your period property and making it truly your own dream home, fit for 21st century living.
I'm sharing the invaluable learning points from our own 'Grand Design' style project - the complete restoration of an 800 year old priory called Pentney Abbey, in Norfolk, UK which was our home as well as being a very successful business. Come and learn from this case study which also earned us a Heritage Angel Award.
We offer a library of Free Resources as well as personalised services which start with a 'DESIGN 101' consultation. Whether you need an overall restoration strategy, help with navigating through the stressful planning process or a solution for your interior design needs, we've got you covered.
One of our unique approaches is to help you find your authentic Home Style Signature, which is instrumental if you wish to create a home that you love, avoid costly design mistakes and save time and money when creating your dream home.
We look forward to seeing you on the inside!

When I downsized to a smaller house, I needed design and decoration assistance. Dita came to the rescue. She created a makeover where I could keep my family heirlooms while upgrading the look to what I dreamt of for years...a Hollywood glamour! It's like she read my mind. I'm overjoyed with my beautiful new home, and most of all, I kept my quality furniture, which has been professionally repainted, and the hinges and handles were restored too. The result is amazing.
I could not be happier!

LONDON
We inherited a neglected Grade II Listed Manor House that had lost its charm. Reviving it seemed like a daunting task as we lacked the know-how. Fortunately, a friend introduced us to Dita, and we were already aware of her work at the Abbey. Dita worked her magic on our property. She sourced incredible antiques and expertly personalised each of the 10 bedrooms. Additionally, she presented a business model that has turned our property into a unique holiday venue, attracting paying guests. Thanks to Dita, the Manor House now has a new lease on life.

NORWICH
Our cottage required a new extension, which became the heart of our home. With an open-plan concept in mind, we sought assistance in ensuring the layout maintained distinct areas. Dita comprehended our needs perfectly, delivering a beautiful and cozy home design that exceeded our expectations. She recommended colours we might not have considered, yet they harmonise beautifully with the oak in the space. Our new home is brimming with character and seamlessly blends with the rest of the house.
