It’s officially Spring, which means that it is also time for some Spring cleaning! Since we’ve all spent a lot more time at home in the past year than we normally do, I’m sure you’ve noticed a few things you’d like to change around the house. One big thing for us was our closet. Living in the city comes with lots of tradeoffs and space is a major one. However, if you are organized, a small closet can be very effective. Keep reading to find out why you need to hire some professional closet organizers.
Professional Closet Organizers
I recently hired Heart & Co. to organize our bedroom closet and you will not believe the before and after photos! A day with professional closet organizers is a day well spent!
We installed this Container Store Elfa system when we moved in several years ago, but over time it has gotten overstuffed and disorganized. It had solid bones, it just needed some professional help and that’s where Heart & Co. came in. These professional closet organizers knew exactly how to tackle our project and were able to do it all in one day!
Heart & Co. is a professional organization service based in Boston. Founded by Molly Heartfield, she and her team come in and not only clean up messy closets but make them more functional so that they are easier to actually keep clean! They focus on both form and function.
The Heart & Co. Process
- First, they did a virtual consultation where I showed them my closet spaces and explained our goals and needs for the closet. This took about 30 minutes.
- Then they came in on the cleanup day!
- First, they took everything out of the closet to sort and separate into the new sections they would be organized into.
- They then headed to Container Store to pick up some new organizational items, drawers, hangers and bins.
- Finally, it was time to put everything back! This meant putting everything onto uniform hangers, file folding items, and making it look gorgeous!
I’m so impressed by not only their aesthetic and organizational planning, but also with the practical approach they took in maximizing the space we had available. They did this by swapping out our bottom big drawers for double smaller drawers, making it easier to file fold clothes and easily access them. They also rearranged our entire small closet, as well as utilized the upper storage on our main closet. This space was completely unused before! These labelled bins are a lifesaver, I finally have space for everything, and it is all easily accessible now! No more rushing around because I can’t find something. Our closet now looks beautiful and is 10x more functional thanks to Heart & Co.
If you live in the city and love clothes, but are short on space, I highly recommend Heart & Co’s professional organizing service, it is truly a way to have the weight of a messy closet lifted off your shoulders!
