New Year's Resolution: Reclaim Your Closet

Many people mistakenly believe that if they just have the correct storage for their closets, their organizing problems will be solved. Many clients have beautiful custom closets and more plastic containers than you can imagine, and they are still disorganized!
 
The client who wants to truly become organized will invest the time up-front to look into their closets and ask the hard questions and face the hard decisions. For some, this is easy. For the disorganized, this is painful!
 
Organizing is about making room in your life for that which is important. It is NOT about creating a tidy space, or arriving at perfection. It's good stewardship—knowing, loving, using, and maintaining what you have. When you have an organized closet, you have the confidence that you can find what you want when you want it. This is peace of mind! Undergoing the process of closet organizing brings tremendous freedom. Clients who are ready to let go, and make room in their closet for what they love, will spend less time searching and more time living.
 
When Restoring Order® is hired to organize a closet, we examine the client's taste, lifestyle, colors, and size. We look at the same issues for anyone using the closet, such as spouses. We then order the wardrobe around the client's needs. The client's long-term satisfaction is maximized when they take the time to plan, sort, purge, and categorize the contents.
 
Closet organizing is not just about storing your clothing and accessories, it is about making decisions and practicing self-observation. The closet is an intimate space. In it, we store our memories, hang our good intentions, stow our beliefs, and catalogue our image. The savvy client will be ready to ask themselves WHY they are keeping certain items, and make decisions about the value of those items. It's o.k. to keep items with fond memories attached, or items in the size we wish we wore. The problem occurs when we have kept so many of these items that we no longer have room for the things we do wear and enjoy. That's when Restoring Order® can establish a process for the closet organizing project, help the client plow through difficult decisions, keep the momentum going, and assist in prioritizing. The client and organizer partner together to "restore order" to the closet in question.
 
Having someone by your side, who is taking you through a process, is an invaluable asset. For many, it means the difference between whether the project gets done or not, and if backsliding later occurs. If you have attempted to organize your closet in the past, but have had disappointing results, it may be indicative of a flawed process or difficulty making decisions. Successful closet organizing relies on effective process and correct product. Restoring Order® is also an expert in storage! We can assist with storage options for closets, customizing systems and containers to the client's needs and tastes.
