Where did you first hear about “home organizer”? Is it the queen of storage Marie Kondo, or the various creators on YouTube who organize storage or share minimalist life? In any case, the services of organizers have become increasingly popular. If you have this need at home but don’t know the process yet, come and take a look!

First of all, we must understand that home organizers do not just "help tidy up", but provide tailor-made organizing and storage strategies based on our living habits, number of items, and psychological state. Sometimes they also involve emotional separation and life reorganization. If there is any space in the home that cannot be organized or planned in the right place, then a home organizer is in great need.

{99 9} What is a home organizer?

A home organizer is a professional who assists individuals or families in organizing space and establishing a storage system. Sometimes it is a one-person studio or it may be a team company. They not only help clear away clutter, but also pay attention to planning an environment that is practical and easy to maintain according to the living habits and needs of the residents. Organizers emphasize "disconnection" and emotional connection, helping customers clarify the relationship between items and life. Its characteristic is to provide tailor-made space optimization solutions, improve the quality of life and psychological stress, and enhance home happiness.

To find a home organizer,

you can search organizer platforms or associations, such as the Association of Professional Organizers of the Republic of China (TAPO) and the Taiwan Life Planning Association. They will inquire and first understand the training course content and procedures of relevant professionals. There are also transparent online appointment services. Or search the organizer's own website, YT channel or IG on the site, which provides two operating modes: many individuals or company teams. From their community content, observe their organizing skills and cases, and confirm whether their style meets your needs.

First understand the service content of the organizer

The general service content of the organizer includes space organization, helping customers organize various or designated spaces in the home; classifying and discarding items to help customers get rid of items they no longer need, and provide reasonable storage methods for items; planning storage space, planning customized storage space according to customer needs, improving space usage efficiency and aesthetics. But it is worth mentioning that most tidyers’ services do not include cleaning services and garbage removal!

Initial consultation

Most organizers provide free online or telephone initial consultations. To understand your needs and problems, they will ask about the size of your space, family members, living habits, etc.

Quotation, proposal and contract

The organizer will provide a quotation based on manpower, space and workload, which can be priced by the hour or on a case-by-case basis. Some will provide a pre-planning document, an estimated organization schedule and related details. Once confirmed, the contract can be signed.

The execution process of the day

The organizer's execution process of the day usually starts with a brief communication. After confirming the scope and goals of today's arrangement, he will then guide the customer to take out all the items in the space, classify and filter them. During this process, the organizer will help the customer determine whether the items need to be retained and provide guidance on how to part with them. After completing the classification, the organizer will design the storage location based on the space movement and frequency of use, use appropriate storage tools to place the items in place, and establish a system that meets the customer's living habits. Finally, we will briefly teach how to maintain the order after sorting, and provide follow-up suggestions or return visit arrangements according to the situation.

When choosing an organizer, you should consider

1. Look at the case photos and actual finishing results to see if they match your own style

2. During the initial negotiation, observe whether they can respect your rhythm of life and emotions

3. Pay attention to whether they have a professional training background or practical experience

4. You can check past customer reviews or results on the Internet
