Decluttering and Organising your Home

​

  • To help you go through the areas you need help with (mustn't forget the attic!) and work together to decide what to keep yourself, what you might want to give to family and friends, what to give to charity and lastly what could need throwing out. After the sort, then guide you as to where to put what you’re keeping - seeing the “once in a life time” tidy space, after the declutter and sort, you won’t revert back to how it all was before!

  • If you focus on what you love and want to keep, it is easier to discard and part with the stuff that stifles and burdens.

  • The order of sorting is important, I will work through it methodically with you.

  • Clothes – keeping clothes that don't fit or that you no longer wear or like, can drag you down. Create more valuable space and lift your spirits. For each item, there are 5 options - keep and wear, give to charity/dress agency, sell, mend/clean or throw away only as a last resort.

  • Professional Storage – if you have some of your possessions stored in a secure unit, re-look at what’s being stored and either move it back home, well it or donate it. The chances are, you may not need some of it and why pay for storage when you might not need to.

Reasons to choose this service

​

  • Change of circumstances - For many reasons, major life changes often require significant changes to take place, particular at home. Some, but not all of these are deeply affecting and are treated with empathy, kindness and understanding.

  • Divorce - dividing of contents or organising an existing or new home.

  • Down-sizing - either by choice or necessity.

  • Moving out - take with you what you want to keep not everything you own.

  • Moving in - helping you (or can work on my own) to unpack boxes, organising wardrobes, kitchen, toys etc. 

  • Empty nests - this could be children have all left home or moved out or one child leaves home and their space needs clearing or re-configuring for another purpose e.g. to a spare room, study etc.

  • Creating a granny/nanny  flat or annexe or reversing the space.

  • New tenants in a rented property.

  • House clearance after the death of a loved one.

  • Preparing for a new baby - I can advise on what nursery furniture, accessories and clothes to buy as well as plan and organise the space for it all.

  • Bedrooms – children growing with changing needs e.g. nursery to young child to teenager.

  • Attic and/or basement clearance due to volume of possessions.

  • Before major building works take place.

 

Or it might be just the right time to have a sort-out to create a calm and ordered space

Sorting and Organising Paperwork​

​

  • Is your paperwork piling up?

  • Maybe you no longer need all the files and documents in your home.

 

Reasons to choose this service​

 

  • Down-sizing - good to go through paperwork and files before the move as space will be at a premium in a smaller home.

  • Working from home - creating a new space or organising an existing space to work better.

  • Moving - you don't need to take years of paperwork to the new home.

  • After the death of a loved one - there is often a lot of paperwork to sort through and potentially documents to find.

  • Out of sight, out of mind - attics can be where old and no longer needed paperwork is kept.

  • All my work is confidential and any paperwork which is no longer needed would be shredded at home or by a professional company.

 

Or it might be just the right time to have paperwork in a better organised system

Home Staging

 

Home Staging is the art of preparing a home for sale or rental to get its maximum value in the property market.  If a property is not selling or getting many viewings, the market is stagnant or there are too many similar beautifully presented properties on the market, before dropping the price, consider having a professional to see it with new eyes. 

  • If a property is "staged", rather than empty or cluttered, it will sell or let much quicker - in fact 85% of buyers find it easier to visualise a property as their future home when it is staged.

  • Present the property to appeal to as many potential purchasers as possible, by creating a desirable lifestyle.

  • After de-cluttering and de-personalising, the most cost-effective and ideal solution is to use existing furniture and accessories.

  • Maximising space by putting excess furniture and possessions into storage.

  • Re-organising / re-ordering / moving furniture and accessories around for best effect and maximum impact.

  • Any outside space, however small, must not be overlooked or forgotten.

​

Reasons to choose this service

​

  • After de-cluttering, de-personalising and organising has taken place.

  • Preparing property for private sale or letting – can advise on simple "quick wins".
