THE KONMARI METHOD®

Most organizers advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little technique vs. a holistic approach taking the whole person into consideration along with the whole home.

The KonMari Method® encourages tidying by category – not by location – beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. Keep only those things that speak to the heart, and discard items that no longer spark joy. Thank them for their service – then let them go.

People around the world have been drawn to this philosophy not only due to its effectiveness, but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking.

THE SIX RULES OF TIDYING

     1   Commit yourself to tidying up.
     2   Imagine your ideal lifestyle.
     3   Finish discarding first.
     4   Tidy by category, not by location.
     5   Follow the right order.
     6   Ask yourself if it sparks joy.

Starter TIDY

  • Experience the magic of the KonMari Method® by beginning with the Starter Tidy. We will start with a tour of your home, discuss your ideal lifestyle and then work together on the first category: clothing. Together we will create a wardrobe of clothing that Sparks Joy® and makes you feel your best each day. We will declutter the clothing that no longer serves you. We will organize your clothing to functionally fit your space. And discover and practice the skills to continue the process independently.

  • Two Sessions: Each 3 hours

Starter+ TIDY

  • Starter TIDY plus one other “trouble category” in your space. We can customize this to your needs. Some examples of this would be workout gear, tool areas, specialty clothing or other. Notice that the specification is not room or space related. We could also move on to the next category in the Kon Mari Method®: Books, thus further honing your skills assessing what Sparks Joy®

  • Space was Created with NO remodeling!

    With Lauren’s guidance in using the KonMari® method,  we completely transformed the space in our home! Lauren has a very unique skill set which includes space planning as well as aesthetic sense.  By following the method, step by step,  we were able to create a linen closet, space in the garage for a work area and a place to park our car with no remodeling involved! We sorted through the chaos together and I let go of everything I did not need, and found a place for everything that “Sparked Joy”. Now, our entire home is a peaceful and organized space that makes us happy every day! I learned a very important lesson…. It is not the square footage of our house that matters… it is how you use it. By purposefully choosing the things in our home, we make space for the things that we actually love!”

  • Sustainable Family Harmony and Peace!  

    This process has changed the entire dynamic of our home. With great patience, and a sense of humor, Lauren helped me to sort through every room, category by category, including the garage and shed!  It was actually fun and I looked forward to each day that we were working together. As a result, our entire family, and all of the visiting friends have benefitted. We are no longer wading through piles of papers, clothes, etc. to find what we are looking for and everyone is happier. I never could have anticipated the peace that organization would yield in my personal, work and family life. I no longer dread parties, overnight company, out of town travel or work challenges because I know where everything is! The simplicity of living with only the things that are really wanted and useful is revolutionary.
