I am a firm believer that organization and design go hand in hand, which is why we always are mindful of our client’s aesthetic when making organizing product recommendations and creating long-lasting organization solutions. By keeping in mind the palette and feel of the home’s existing interior and furnishings, the organizational design that is put into place can make a home not only beautiful, but truly functional. Have you ever walked into a room in your home where you knew that it just didn’t feel right? I am not sure if you have ever been conscious of why that might be, but creating organizational systems that also fit in with the design of your house overall can contribute to your feeling when you are in the space. Don’t you feel different when you are in a room and everything in there just seems to fit together and flow not only in the design of the space but how it functions?
I also believe that organization doesn’t mean creating rigid systems that control your life, or purchasing plastic bins to contain everything in an orderly fashion. Organization should tie into the way that you currently live your life, and the products that aid the organization should be a reflection of your style.
WHY ORGANIZATION CAN KEEP YOUR HOME TIDY
Just as you take care of your favorite piece of clothing or shoes to keep them in good shape, we think that keeping up with organization falls into the same thought process. If it’s easy to put something away because you know exactly where it goes (and fits), it’s a lot easier to keep up with. And, if you love the products that you’ve invested in there is a good chance you’ll be more inclined to keep up with the system.
It should come as no surprise to hear that we have an ever-growing list of products and retailers that we turn to during our product selections. We are always conscious of our clients budget and style, so it’s important for us to know what’s out there so that we can find the best fit for our clients.
And because we know how integral great design can be in the organizing process, we’re hosting a giveaway with one of our favorite online retailers, Mintwood Home!
