Congratulations! Now that you're a homeowner, it's time for you to make your space your own. So, why not start with a clean slate and keep your new home organized and clutter-free. By implementing organization strategies from the start is one of the best ways to ensure that you will maintain an organized space. It also provides you with a solid foundation to build onto. So, here are some essential tips for new homeowners when it comes to keeping your place organized from the start.

When it comes to organizing any space, there are a few things that I like to take into consideration. Does the client have a budget? What are some of the major challenges the client could encounter in regards to maintaining their newly organized space? Does the client have a preference as to which storage and organization products they would like to incorporate into their space? It's important for me to collect this information during the consultation because I want to ensure that I create a space that suits their needs and resolves their organizing challenges.

I have the tendency to organize loved one's spaces, even when they don't request my services...lol. But a close relative had a hallway closet that could use some TLC and with their permission allowed me to give it a quick update. Since it was such a small project, I knew that I didn't need to spend a lot of money on organizing products to tidy-up the space.

Hint: It’s a magazine holder!

The next time you're on a plane, take some time to de-clutter and tidy-up your phone so that it may perform to the best of its ability!
