Decluttering is the cornerstone of home organising, involving the removal of unnecessary items from a space. This process is the first step, evaluating each item’s usefulness or sentimental value and deciding whether it should stay or go.

This is about designating specific areas in a home for different activities, such as a reading nook, a workspace, or a hobby area. We discuss the activities that take place in your home and then help you arrange the space to support these functions efficiently. By creating defined zones, each with the necessary tools and space to perform its function, you can enjoy a more structured and efficient living environment. This approach not only optimises space usage but also helps keep related items together, making it easier to keep the area tidy and organised.

Implementing storage solutions is essential to keeping a home neat and tidy. This involves finding appropriate places for keeping items so that they are out of the way yet easily accessible when needed. This might include adding shelves, bins, racks, or closet organisers. The key is to use space creatively and effectively, whether it’s using under-bed storage for seasonal clothing or a guest room wardrobe for seldom-used items. Proper storage solutions help maintain the decluttered state of the home, ensuring that everything has a storage place and can be easily returned to its place after use. Our organisers will explain their choice of storage and how it can work for you.

Developing organising routines involves setting up regular times and systems for dealing with incoming and outgoing items, such as mail, laundry, or groceries. This activity helps prevent clutter from accumulating by ensuring there’s a consistent approach to processing items daily or weekly. For instance, a routine might include sorting mail over a recycle bin to immediately discard junk mail or setting a specific day for laundry to ensure clothes are washed, dried, and put away systematically. Establishing these routines fosters a habit of organisation. This way, the home stays in a consistently tidy state. Our organisers will go through some simple routines you can adopt immediately.
