When it comes to getting organized, most of us start with motivation. We feel inspired after scrolling through Pinterest, binge-watching a makeover show, or buying fresh bins at the store. That spark is exciting — but motivation fades.

What truly keeps your home organized isn’t a burst of motivation. It’s the habits you build into your daily life.

Here’s why habits matter more than motivation, and how to start creating ones that will stick:

As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, our homes become our refuge. Fall is the perfect season to add layers of warmth, texture, and comfort that make your space feel like a cozy retreat. Creating an inviting atmosphere doesn’t mean you need to overhaul your décor — a few thoughtful touches can make all the difference.

Here are my favorite ways to bring those fall feels into your home:

Seeing a home organized is challenging enough when it's just you - add a spouse, kids, or roommates into the mix, and things can get complicated fast.  Everyone has different habits, comfort levels with clutter, and ideas of what "organized" looks like.

Small rooms can be some of the most charming spaces in a home — but only if they’re thoughtfully designed. When a room is tight on square footage, every choice matters. From furniture scale to color palette, the right decisions can transform cramped into cozy, and cluttered into chic.

As a home stylist, one of the most common goals my clients share is, "I want my home to feel more welcoming." But even the most beautifully decorated space can feel cold or off-putting if a few key design elements are out of sync. Whether you’re styling your entryway, living room, or an entire home, here are some common design mistakes that could be making your space feel less inviting—along with simple fixes that can make a world of difference.

We tend to think of clutter as just a visual annoyance, but research and real-world experience consistently show that our physical spaces directly impact our mental well-being. As a professional organizer, I’ve worked with clients who felt like they were drowning in stuff—and once we organized their homes, they felt like they could finally breathe again.

Summer is right around the corner. Days are becoming longer and the air is becoming  warmer. Now is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home. This month we share low effort, high impact ways, to make your space feel refreshed for the upcoming season.

At Home Space Harmony we want to empower you to shape a beautiful and harmonious home.  We believe collaboration, guidance and education are the keys to creating a home that truly reflects your personality and preferences.

That’s why we are officially launching our new Revive Your Space Session, which is an in-home design and organization inspiration consultation. It is a 90 minute working session for $200, intended for clients who are looking for some expert guidance or simply a second opinion. On the spot we help you visualize easy changes that will improve functionality and update your space.

Spring is here! It’s a time when many of us yearn for a home declutter and clean out. A calm and organized environment is a great way to start the new season. So what is a clutter audit? It’s a process of identifying and evaluating the items in a space to determine what is truly needed and what can be decluttered or organized.

Just because something is trending, does not mean you have to embrace it. Decorate your space in a way that makes YOU happy. However, it is always fun to track home design trends. What I like to do is focus on a few trends that speak to me and incorporate them in a way that won’t feel dated in a few years. So with that said, here are three design trends I’m excited about heading into 2025.

A few years ago we shared the habits of organized people and how they maintain their spaces.  As we approach another year of working with all types of clients, we have some additional insights to share. Even if you are not naturally an organized person, you can practice good habits on a regular basis. You truly can become more organized, less stressed and more efficient in your day to day life. Below is an expanded list of habits that we guarantee will work!

Winter officially started a few days ago, so why not kick off this season and the New Year with an organized home? Any good organizing project starts with a decluttering that will make your home feel refreshed for the season. Below are 25 things to declutter before the deep of the winter so you can enjoy a cozier, more organized season.

Many homeowners have it in their minds that every piece of metal in a home should match. I'm here to tell you the days of having to match all the fixtures in a bathroom or kitchen are over.

As the air becomes a little brisker this month, it is time to cozy up with fall decor. Tailoring some of your decor to the season is a fun way to switch things up and experiment with new color palettes. Fall is all about warm, earthy hues like olive green, rust, gold, and deep browns. It’s about incorporating what is outside your door like branches, stems, acorns and pumpkins to your indoor spaces.

Are there areas of your home that just don’t feel organized and you don’t know why? You don’t have to have a spotless or picture perfect home, but there may be things you are doing that make your home look unpolished and messier than it could be. Have no fear, today we highlight 6 things that may be causing your problems and what you can do to fix it.

As a home organizer I often get asked which items can be safely tossed in the trash. Most everyday items can be considered normal household waste. However, it’s important to know which common household items can’t be disposed of in the regular trash, whether due to specific regulations or just concerns about environmental impact.

I have to admit I love my job. Every day I get to work with different people facing a variety of challenges, big and small. Each space I work in presents a different challenge, but in my eyes they have some basic things in common. Making sure a space functionally works for them is always my primary focus when a client needs organization help. When asked to design, I look to understand and showcase their own personal style. Great results can often be achieved by simply refreshing or restyling the elements that no longer speak to them.

Wondering how high to hang that dining room chandelier or how far your coffee table should be from your sofa? I frequently see people make the same mistakes, like too small area rugs or low hanging artwork. When decorating a room, it is important to understand the rule of spacing and proportion.

I see it all the time. Parents I work with spend so many hours tidying up, only for spaces to be turned upside down in minutes by their children. I often get asked, how do you conquer kid clutter? How do you get kids to help keep a home organized? Here are some things I have learned to make organization with kids a more enjoyable process, with everyone in the family pitching in to help.
