Home and Office Decluttering and Organization

First, We Declutter…

Most people avoid organizing their home or home office for years because the first step—decluttering—simply feels overwhelming. It’s true, decluttering can be emotionally draining—but only if you do it alone! With our help, clearing away the clutter can be clarifying, even freeing. Most of my clients are surprised when they find out that decluttering with the help of a professional organizer turns out to be fun.

What to Expect in the Decluttering Phase

In the decluttering phase of a home organization project, we’ll guide you through a time-tested process for learning to recognize which possessions are still serving you and which are causing stress or guilt. You’ll always remain in control. What you decide to keep and what you decide to say goodbye to will always be your choice.

  • If you aspire to be a minimalist, I can help you achieve that.
  • If you love your collections (and just want to love them more) I can help organize and display them so that they bring you joy.

Together, we’ll help you pare down whatever is holding you back from your goals so you can use and enjoy the items you choose to keep.

In the Decluttering Phase, We Handle the Logistics

  • For items you decide to donate, we’ll pack them up, clean them if needed, and then take them to a donation center for you.
  • For unwanted furniture, we will organize with a local charity for pickup.
  • Of course, we also ensure hazardous materials are disposed of safely, electronics are recycled responsibly, and any unexpired, unwanted shelf-stable food is donated to a local food pantry.

Then, We Organize Your Space

Once the decluttering phase is completed, the really fun part—organizing your home so it’s just the way you’ve always imagined it—can begin!

In the home organization phase of the project, the goal is two-fold: to make your space more functional and more beautiful.

What to Expect in the Organization Phase

We’ll start by making sure we fully understand how you will be using the space, strategize which organizing solutions will work best for you, establish your budget for new storage products, and ask you about your aesthetic preferences.

With your approval and within your budget, we’ll shop for new storage systems and then bring them with us when we come to organize.

It’s your choice how involved (or uninvolved) you want to be in the organization stage. You can sit back and relax or you can be more hands-on. Since we are creating a customized space for you, we will always make sure that the organizing solutions fit your needs and preferences.

Finally, once you agree that everything is just right, we add labels to help you keep your space organized.

It’s Your Choice—We Can Organize One Room or Your Whole Home

The scope of this home or home office organization service is completely custom to your needs and your goals.

You can hire us to declutter and organize:

  • a small space like your kitchen pantry or your closet,
  • a whole room like your kitchen, your bedroom, your home office, or your children’s playroom,
  • a whole floor or section of your home (basement, all the bedrooms, garage/shed), or
  • your whole home!

On your introductory call, we’ll discuss your goals, your options, and your budget, and I’ll help you choose which specific room(s) or space(s) in your house would benefit most from this service.
