Home organization is second nature to me, not only because I love my job but also being organized and creating aesthetically appealing spaces make up a core portion of my DNA. This is who I am. So, I always have to remember that not everyone fully understands the tenets of the home organization process. It’s important to explain how I approach the practice of organization so clients can understand my role and their role in transforming their homes into clutter-free, orderly, inviting environments that they will love living in and inviting others to visit.
How the Drea Design Services’ (DDS) organization strategy and plan works:
- I always speak by phone to prospective clients to understand their goals and exactly what is needed for each room/space they would like organizational planning and strategy.
- If they can, the client sends pictures of the spaces they would like organized so that I can gauge the storage options that may be needed and provide recommendations (usually orderable from Amazon).
- I also try to estimate the number of hours it may take to organize the room based on the client’s descriptions and/or the photos they share.
- Once the date, time and potential hours of the project are agreed on, I provide clients with my company’s brief guidelines which they must agree to in order to secure the appointment.
- When I arrive at the client’s home on the day of the project, we have another brief discussion and a walkthrough of the space so that I can fully assess the situation. I also take Before pictures.
- Clients usually stay through the organization process, either in the room where the organization is taking place or somewhere else in their home. It is particularly imperative to work with clients side by side if we are deciding on items to donate, eliminate or keep. They must be a part of that process. After those decisions are made, I can complete the organization plan solo.
- I remove items from closets, cupboards, and drawers and do any unboxing before re-entering clothes, shoes or products in an orderly, matrixed and aesthetically engaging format that not only brings the “Wow” factor but is practical and functional for clients, allowing them to easily and quickly find anything they are looking for in their kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or garage. No more chaos, no more disorder, no more clutter, no more forgotten items hidden under heaps of ….other things.
- I take After photos.
- Clients review their newly updated spaces and I make any adjustments they request.
- If needed, we plan for continuing organizational work in other areas of the home, setting up an appointment for DDS’ next visit.
