Write for DupeCoat

Share Your Renovation Intelligence

DupeCoat is the UK’s fastest-growing destination for smart renovation. We are building a library of Renovation Intelligence. Practical, scientific, and budget-savvy advice that helps British homeowners get the high-end look without the designer price tag.

We are looking for contributors who value substance over fluff. If you know the difference between Vinyl Matt and Acrylic Eggshell, or if you have a “Before & After” that will drop jaws, we want to hear from you.

What We Are Looking For

We accept guest posts and editorial features on the following topics:

• Real Renovation Diaries: Detailed “How-I-Did-It” guides with cost breakdowns and photos.
• Trade Secrets: Technical painting advice, tool reviews, and surface preparation tips from professional decorators.
• Colour Science: Deep dives into palettes, lighting theory (North vs. South facing rooms), and colour psychology.
• Budget Hacks: High-end looks for less, rental-friendly upgrades, and IKEA hacks.
• Interior Design Trends: Forecasts and analysis relevant to the UK market.
