It is a new year and fresh start for every living space in

Action Items
To avoid feeling overwhelmed, we highly recommend planning
and breaking down organization projects into manageable and actionable tasks. Assign
yourself tasks that are clear, concrete and can be finished in a set amount of
time. It is tempting to want to take on a large amount of organizing at once. For
example, instead of setting a goal such as “organize the garage and laundry
room”, it can be more helpful to pick a smaller and more specific task related
goal. A more manageable goal could be “organize the tools and building supplies
I have in the garage”. Then, this task can be divided into sub-tasks. You might
realize that you need to get rid of certain supplies or that you don’t have
adequate storage space. Our experienced designers can help you strategize
solutions like a customized garage
workbench or countertop.
Imagine
When you choose a new space to work on, imagine yourself
going to that area of your home and how you would like things to be. Think
about the steps you take when you do laundry in the laundry room, work in the
garage or even when you get dressed. Which items do you use most often? What
needs to stay out of reach of children and pets, like cleaning supplies or
delicate jewelry? Which items need a
specific hook or rod? It is helpful to keep items you use frequently at eye- or
waist-level (such as bed linens on the middle shelves of your linen closet).
Storage in this area is the easiest to reach and see.
Once you have a system, it can help you develop a routine,
which will dictate how you organize your space. Then, the space will be more
consistently neat and orderly. Continual upkeep will prevent the need for
another heavy-duty organizational overhaul.
Be Adaptable
Storage systems aren’t set in stone and take time to
develop. Be prepared to change and adapt your system as you use it. Many
aspects of our organization solutions are modular and adjustable for this very
reason. Contact us
