Refining Your Home
To have a calm and organised home, it doesn’t have to be minimal or simplified... I firmly believe that having an organised home does not mean stripping it of its beauty, character, and charm. It's also not about maintaining a perfectly untouched, tidy space where creativity feels stifled. Instead, it's about cultivating a well-lived-in and loved home that is thoughtfully designed and functional for everyone who lives there—personal, refined, where everything has a place and a purpose. To thrive in a home you love I believe it’s about surrounding yourself with what you love, need and use, and designing a collected and personalised home for those that live there. This method and approach to becoming clutter-free and living with what you love, is what I call, refined.
The four step success system:
By decluttering carefully and consciously, using my trusted four-step method of sorting items into piles for keeping, donating, recycling, and discarding, you can create a clear and intentional space where organisation can thrive!!!
“Keep what you love, need and use where everything has a place and a purpose”
You’re on your quest for less chaos and more calm and decluttering and making a home ‘edit and refine’ is a huge step to enjoying your home, style and life.
Keep- what you love, need and actually use. My rule of thumb if you haven’t used it in 6 months it’s time to say good bye.
Donate- Items that no longer serve you or a purpose in your home but can bring joy to someone else. We endeavour to donate at responsible places that need them. The likes of day cares, hospitals etc.
Recycle- For items that are no longer usable and of service to you. You can also take this opportunity to up-cycle or repurpose.
Discard- You know the type! The broken toys, party bags, rubbish in desks and drawers etc.
My rule of thumb is simple: everything needs a place and a purpose. Just because you’re refining your home to suit your needs doesn't mean you need more storage supplies, fancy gadgets, labels, or endless glass jars for it to feel organised. Refining means having less clutter and more of a curated collection of what you need, love and use. You might be surprised to find that you already have the storage solutions you need within your home!
Swap chaos for calm.
Swap clutter for curated collection
And thrive in a home and life you love with authenticity and style.
Insider Tip- The more refined, personal and collected your style and home is, the more authentic and welcoming your home becomes.

Did you know that you can start loving where you live today with just a little cleanup and organisation? Many of the people I've assisted and worked with discovered that gaining clarity in their vision was hindered by clutter.
