In-Home & Virtual Organising Support

 

In-Home Support

Hands-On Service (Cape Town - Southern Suburbs & Deep South)

As a certified KonMari Consultant, I follow Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method, decluttering and organising category by category, instead of room by room. For more details on how this category approach works, click here.

According to the method, there are 5 categories that are typically addressed in an order. This progression is intentional: moving from easiest to hardest, from items most frequently used to least used, and from personal to shared items. I have a flexible approach and choose the order of the categories that best suits each client. Typically the order is: clothing - books - papers - miscellaneous items - sentimental. Miscellaneous items are sub divided and addressed per sub category e.g. personal care items, kitchen items, electronics, hobby items, linen, hardware, decor, etc.

How long it will take to complete your project depends on the size of your home, the volume of items you have and your decision making pace. Find a package below that suits you best or contact me to discuss your unique needs.

For the DIYer wanting advice & recommendations for a self paced do-it-yourself approach, to execute everything on their own.
