From Clutter to Complete Clarity...
How to Get Started with a Home Organizing Consultation
The consultation is our first step in truly getting to know our clients, the flow of their home, and the needs of their family. During this walk-through, we see firsthand where systems are missing, where they can be built, and what level of maintenance will be needed - whether that’s handled by the client or by our team. This dedicated time allows us to connect, understand the vision, and lay the foundation for a successful project.
Whether your consultation is coming up soon, or you’re still exploring the idea, here’s what you need to know to get started.
Tip #1: Come with a Clear Vision of the Clutter
Every consultation begins with a conversation about your goals, how you want your space to feel and how you’d love to live in it each day. Then we look at the reality: what’s not working right now and where the frustrations are. This clarity becomes our guidepost, allowing us to design systems that not only support your goals but also create ease, beauty, and flow in your home. Our aim is to remove the barriers so you can experience your space exactly the way you’ve imagined it.
Tip #2: Remain Realistic and Ready to Adapt
Life and routines are constantly evolving, which is why every project begins with a consultation to understand your goals and how you want to feel in your home. From there, we focus on creating flexible systems that fit your lifestyle and are simple enough for your whole family to use and maintain. Our team can transform your space quickly, but building new routines takes time - and that’s completely normal! What we discuss at your consultation gives us what we need to know so we can leave you with clear, simple systems and the confidence to maintain them. This way, you and your family can settle into your newly organized space with ease.
Tip #3: Be Honest and Bring an Open Mind
As professional organizers with years of experience in our clients’ homes, we’ve gathered countless tricks along the way - like finding hidden storage opportunities (hello, backs of doors!) and guiding you through letting go of gifts you don’t use or love. We’re not afraid to say the hard things, because we know that on the other side is the space, freedom, and ease you’re really craving, and we’re the experts (and cheerleaders!) who can help you finally get there. Come into your consultation with an open mind, an open heart - and the willingness to be honest with us and yourself.
A consultation should never add stress. There’s no need to tidy up, so you can leave your space as it is and book your consultation with Make Space. Our time together will give you clarity on how we can help, hope for how your space could feel, and a clear path for making it happen. And remember, you’re never on your own. Once you’re a Make Space client, we’ll always be here to refresh your systems and pull everything back together whenever you need it.
