Decluttering and Organizing







One of the best ways to make your house look simple, elegant and pleasing to the eye is to declutter and organize before you proceed with your interior design.

It's like chewing a big chunk of meat that needs to be chewed in small bites one at a time. We have to declutter and organize room by room.

But first of all, have at least four containers - bags, baskets or bins depending upon how much items you have. Separate what you want to discard, keep, donate or reuse/mull over whether to part with it or them.

Before you delve into the project, you can also buy appropriate containers/furniture so you can organize what you have decluttered. It's always exhilarating to see a finished job right away. Therefore, if you have ready containers/furniture you can place the items appropriately to each container or furniture, it's heaven!

Depending upon your budget you can go from $1 to $1000. Use $1 bottles from Dollar Tree or Osh to organize and above are some pictures I found on home made simple using jars and ice cube tray used creatively. The use of ladder to hang magazines and a shoe organizer to hang toiletries was also creative. Also included are bookcase with glass covers I found in Ikea that I personally use (my husband and I are bookworms) and a dresser to organize your clothes from Laguna Design Center (a design center for design professionals) in Laguna Beach, CA.

Should you want to pursue and make every room of your house simple and elegant I can always help you with the design and purchase. Depending upon your lifestyle and budget, we can make your rooms functional and elegant. The use of color to match your taste and additional decor to complete your project is also part of my expertise.

Enjoy living!
