Publisher Description
Kickstart your organized life with this inspiring visual guide from the author of Minimalista.
“A fresh, global, and beautifully diverse perspective on calming the clutter.”—Kelli Lamb, author of Home with Rue and editorial director of Rue
People are naturally curious about the homes of professional organizers. Organized Living was inspired by Shira's desire to provide a glimpse into a rarely-seen world: The homes of people who organize others. Shira showcases the homes of twenty-five international home organizers, offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into this meticulously kept world. Organized Living introduces you to the aspirational spaces of the most organized people in the world, the organizers themselves, and the passion that fuels their work. Through stunning images and absorbing interviews, you’ll gain expert tips and resources, loads of visual inspiration, and clever organizing hacks you can use in your own home, such as:
• Ditching the packaging
• Choosing stylish storage
• Elevating the most neglected spaces
• Putting things away, right away
Through books, TV shows, and social media platforms, home organizers have been elevated as top lifestyle influencers and have cemented their place in the cultural zeitgeist. And Shira Gill, the organizer of organizers, is the perfect tour guide to walk us through these professional organizers’ homes.
If you’re seeking less clutter, overwhelm, and stress in your life, and are looking to create more time and energy for the things that matter most, Organized Living is your chance to learn directly from the best in the business.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this practical guide, home organizer Gill (Minimalista) tours the "homes of twenty-five of the top organizing experts across the globe" to see how they arrange their living spaces. She goes inside Marie Quéru's sleek Paris abode, which uses wall-length white cabinets and loft beds to maximize available space, and the kitchen of Wiebke Liu, who uses dozens of jars from her company Blisshaus to store "baking staples, dry goods, and snacks." Gill includes advice from each expert, noting Claudia Torre's recommendation to "keep only the things you love, use, need, and that make you happy," and Ashley Jones's "one touch rule," which encourages immediately putting away objects after use. The author also offers "tips and takeaways" on how readers can integrate the featured organizers' strategies into their own homes, such as when she suggests readers might "style your wardrobe like an inviting boutique" following Jean Gordon's preference for having "shoes out of boxes, clothing displayed at arm's reach," and "sturdy, matching hangers... for a cohesive look." The elegant photos are a pleasure to look at, and q&as with the organizers on, for instance, what they "love most" about their homes and their "biggest personal home-organizing challenges" highlight the personalities behind the advice. Those aspiring to declutter their spaces would do well to start here.
