Organized Living: Solutions and Inspiration for Your Home

Expert organizer Gill (Minimalista) takes readers on an international and visual tour of the homes of 25 people who professionally organize living spaces for others. Readers will learn a bit about the experts’ backgrounds, styles, and, of course, approaches to decluttering and straightening spaces. While some utilize stylish canisters, boxes, and bins to store their things, the common thread throughout this book is that owning less stuff is the key. The book also emphasizes that carefully choosing items for their beauty, functionality, and durability is the secret to elevating personal spaces. The photos are great, but the true value of this book lies in the nuggets of innovative and inspirational ideas scattered throughout and collected in the “Takeaway” sections. From tiny apartments to 150-year-old houses, from ascetic minimalists to color-focused maximalists, these organizers’ homes and styles differ, but each one has something fascinating to contribute.
