Living with Less: Organization for Small Spaces

March 30, 2015 By Dayton937

REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE-LOGOProfessional Organizer and Owner of Designed to Organize, LLC, Kim Metter, shares some tips on how you can organize your small space.

Sustainability is a mainstream concept that many people are embracing with open arms. Reusing, recycling, buying less and living in smaller homes are becoming the norm. The question is: how does a family live in a smaller space with the pressure to buy more?  These tips can help you live a fuller life with less.

Some overall tricks for making a space look larger: use the right paint colors. Choosing sharp colors can trick the eye and create more space than is actually there.  In addition, using smaller furniture in smaller spaces ensures that you are maximizing the square footage and gives you more clearance around items. Also, using furniture that is lower to the ground will make the space seem larger.  Finally, using room dividers can help to create the look of defined space without sacrificing the open feeling.

Whenever possible, create spaces that are used for several purposes. A kitchen can be used for cooking, crafts and homework.  Proper organization of these items ensures that you can use this space multiple ways effectively.  Command hooks are great for adding places to keep utensils, towels, coffee mugs, really anything that hangs.  You can also use them to hang wire or plastic baskets, allowing for even more storage.  Additionally, wall space is rarely utilized to its potential.  Hanging things on walls can add more storage, i.e. baskets, bookcases, floating shelving, etc.  There is always an emphasis placed on horizontal square footage, but if you think vertically, you are maximizing each space to its fullest.

For the kitchen, using a wire basket shower caddy can double as a produce rack.   You can glue magnets onto plastic containers to add storage to the sides and front of your refrigerator. Adding baskets underneath kitchen cabinets can give you more storage without sacrificing counter space. Placing peg boards inside of cabinets or doors can add ample hanging storage for various sizes and shapes.  Using stacking shelves in cabinets and pantries can help you double your storage space.  No room for an eat-in kitchen? Mount a fold up table to the wall and bring down for meals, then fold back up when done.  This application can be used for any space that needs a table.

For bedrooms, adding bed risers can add more storage space underneath. Then, by using rolling flat bins under the bed, you can dramatically  increase your storage capability. Drawers are usually not used to their potential. If possible, place rarely used items on the bottom of the drawer and place a box lid or flatter plastic organizer to keep items neat on the top. i.e. blanket on the bottom and T-shirts on the top. This will ensure that you are using the maximum amount of drawer space.  It is a good idea to write down the items that are in the drawer and place it on the inside of that drawer. This way, those items not easily seen won’t be forgotten when needed.  Remember that there are tools that you already have in your home that can be used for organizing such as using shoe boxes or cardboard to create your own drawer organizers.  There’s no need to spend money when you can skillfully reuse other items that you already have!10527861_10204480789124283_3906081940314288558_n

Closets are spaces that are rarely fully used. Using plastic organizers with drawers will help you maximize the bottom of your closet space.  Space under shelving in closets and cabinets are unused real estate. Hang baskets from the top shelf to add more storage. Under the shelf racks can also be used.  Baskets or plastic storage bins with holes are great for storing kids clothes or clothing made of thinner fabrics.  Finally, hanging organizers used on the back of doors and cabinets will add even more storage space.  If by chance you have a closet that is rarely used, transform it into a multiple use space such as an office, craft space or office.

Living spaces can offer many opportunities for storage as well.  Bookcases are a great way to add storage and display areas in tights spaces. By using baskets or cloth organizers, you can hide items that you do not want to be visible. They can be hung horizontally as well for kids rooms or for use in displaying items.  Furthermore, using corner shelving can help add storage and use maximum space.  Just like under the bed, there is also storage space under sofas. (Those that do not recline)  Flat items such as board games or flat organizers can be used to increase your storage space.  Small ottomans can double as seating and storage.With the world’s population increasing exponentially, the small home trend is one that will continue to grow. By learning how to maximize your space now, you will ensure that you and your family can meet the growing need to live sustainably and comfortably.

Organizing 101 with Kim Metter of Designed to Organize

November 8, 2014 By Dayton Most Metro

IMG_2883

Kim Metter – Professional Organizer and Owner of Designed to Organize, LLC

Kim Metter, owner of Designed to Organize, LLC, has always enjoyed putting things in their place and organizing the clutter. So much so that she decided to take her passion for organizing and create her own professional organizing business. Designed to Organize opened in July of this year and specializes in professional organizing and interior design.

Recently, we sat down with Kim to ask her some questions about her business and what they do.

Question: What made you want to become a professional organizer?

Answer: I have always enjoyed tidying up. Nothing makes me happier than organizing and making order out of chaos. I have a natural affinity for it. In every professional position that I have held, I have ended up organizing something. It’s like I can’t help it, I find something that needs to be organized and I just do it. I enjoy it immensely, it calms and centers me and makes me feel happy and fulfilled. I decided that with all of the organizing projects that I have completed over the years and the experience that I have had I needed to translate that into a career. I started planning Designed to Organize, LLC six years ago and decided that this was the year to pull the trigger.

Question: What is your organizing philosophy?

Answer: It is one of simplicity and logic. We require homeostasis (the tendency to maintain internal stability) to feel and perform at our best. When we are surrounded by clutter and chaos, we cannot be our best. We are stressed out, we become angry and we can lash out at others without realizing why we are doing it. We don’t feel calm or happy because our environment is not conducive to it. Clearing the clutter and organizing the chaos can eliminate that stress in our lives. We may have little control over the outside factors that cause us stress, but we can control the stress derived from living and working in cluttered and disorganized spaces. By getting and staying organized we are balanced, we perform better at our jobs, our home lives are better and we are more happy overall. That’s what it’s all about, clearing the clutter and organizing the chaos so we can live more healthy and happy lives. 

Question: What are your favorite organizing tools?

Answer: I have so many, it is difficult to choose just one! My ultimate tool is probably my moleskin notebook that I use to make to-do lists or write down the many things that are racing through my head at any given time. I find that writing things down and organizing them into lists helps give me a road map to follow. That’s really half the battle, having a plan. If you have a plan to follow, the organizing part is pretty easy. Secondly, I love my label maker. Placing names on objects for quick reference is key. Whether you are organizing files in your office or dry goods in your kitchen pantry, the label maker is essential. I also have a love affair with Post-Its. I use them everyday for quick messages to myself or others, they help me stay organized for quick and short term tasks. They are really great for that.

Question: What thoughts enter your mind when you walk into a potential client’s space?

Answer: People think that they are judged on their space; that their disorganization or clutter is a direct reflection on them. Nothing is further from the truth. When I walk into a space that needs organization, I see nothing but potential. I see a project waiting to happen. I see the space as it can be, not as it is. If the space was perfectly organized, I wouldn’t be there in the first place! My goal is really to listen to the needs of the client. What is the space to be used for? What do you like or dislike about the space? What changes do you want to see in the space? All of my designs are client driven. I make sure that you are going to enjoy using the space as you intend to use it and that I leave you with the tools you will need to continue to keep the space organized and uncluttered so that the space can be used as it is intended.

Question: To conclude, what would you say to those people who say they can’t get organized?

Answer: Yes, you can. You may not be able to do it alone, and that’s okay. Getting the ball rolling is always the hardest part. But with my help, yes, you can.DtoOLogo
