I thought I could handle reorganizing my home on my own (I mean, I watched that Marie Kondo show during the pandemic). But as soon as I started, I realized it was so much harder than it looked. Sure, I could get rid of things or put items away, but actually creating a functional space that would stay organized when life gets busy is a whole different story. I consider myself organized and have bought all the bins before, but what I lacked was cohesion and functionality, something that only comes from professional experience sourcing the right products and designing a cohesive approach. Cue Iris. I could not be more grateful for the peace, functionality and organization Iris has brought to my life!
There are so many things about Iris that made her the right person to work with. For one, she deeply cares about getting things right. Whether it's your taste and preferences or your needs for functionality, she is meticulous in designing a plan that will work for you. As an example, we have a rabbit, so we have to be careful about certain types of products we use and what's accessible in his space. She sourced items that would keep our space tidy while also keeping him happy and safe! Additionally, Iris ensures your home is a living and breathing space. She creates systems that aren't just temporary, but that you can grow into. We all know that all too familiar feeling of shoving things into hidden spaces just to get them out of sight. With Iris, she helps you think through the intentional use of space and finds a functional space for what you need, while (gently) encouraging you to purge the things you don't.
Iris transformed not just my home but my entire approach to organizing. Her eye for detail, sense of style, and skill in creating systems that are sustainable (and beautiful) left me feeling genuinely relieved and so much lighter. I didn't even realize how much my cluttered, chaotic spaces were impacting my well-being. Now, every spaces flows, each item has a purpose, and I feel calmer, more productive, and happier just being in my own home! I work from home so this is extra important!
We invest in so many different things, but often overlook just how impactful our physical environment can be in our own health and happiness. If there's anything I learned from this process, it's that hiring a professional organizer and stylist is key and Iris is easily the best of them all. read more
