Chances are, you’ve landed on this page because you’re toying with the idea of getting a professional organiser to help you clear out your clutter. You might be wondering ‘What rooms and spaces can a professional organiser help with?’ Let’s dive in…
Attempting to clear out clutter on your own can be a daunting task and if you’re bringing in a professional, I’m sure you want them to do a thorough job. You don’t want to be clearing out closets or de-cluttering drawers shortly after they’ve left.
Good news! We tackle pretty much every area of your home ensuring every nook and cranny is edited, simplified and organised in a way that supports your lifestyle.
Here, we’ve given you a rundown of the rooms we typically work on – along with a few handy tips for getting started with each one.
These tips will help you keep these spaces organised in the long run.
What rooms and spaces can a professional organiser help with?
1. Entry / Hallways
Hallways connect every room of your home, so it’s only natural that you’d want to keep them ship-shape. (Nobody wants to trip on a rogue trainer on their way to the bathroom in the middle of the night!)
And yet, entries and hallways can quickly become a dumping ground for the stuff we use day-to-day.
Professional organisers can do a terrific job of optimising both the function and aesthetics of these spaces by organising shoes, coats, and everyday items.
If you want to make a head start on your entries and hallway…
- Consider installing hooks for coats and jackets and setting up a shoe rack to stow away footwear.
- Have a ‘drop zone’: a place to store those everyday items, like mail, keys, and bags.
- Or install a floating shelf or wall-mounted organiser for keys, wallets, and sunglasses.
- Use baskets or bins for storing smaller items like gloves, scarves, and umbrellas.
2. Living rooms
Your living room serves a very important function: it’s your space for socialising and relaxing — whether that means kicking back to watch an episode of your favourite show or enjoying a few glasses of wine with friends.
It’s only natural then that this is an area where professional organisers love to get to work. We’ll organise entertainment centres and arrange books and media so you can have a tidy, welcoming, and most importantly, relaxing living space.
If you want to make a head start on your living room…
- Routinely remove items that don’t belong. The living room is a shared space so it’s easy for the clutter to build up.
- Furniture with built-in storage can work wonders.
- You might like to use cord organisers to keep cables out of sight too.
- Create designated zones for different activities, such as reading, watching TV, or gaming.
- Use decorative trays to organise remote controls and coasters.
3. Playrooms
Keeping your little ones’ spaces tidy isn’t a lost cause — promise! A professional organiser will dive right into the chaos and organise toys, create play zones, and maintain order.
If you want to make a head start on playrooms…
- Clear bins will come in handy. Make sure to label them with words and pictures so your little ones can easily find everything they need — and know where to put it when they’re done.
- Use low-shelving units or cubbies for easy access to toys.
- Implement a toy rotation system to keep playtime fresh and organised.
4. Kitchens
It’s often been said that kitchens are the heart of the home. They’re also a hive of activity and that means clutter can quickly build.
No matter, a good professional organiser won’t be afraid to get stuck in by organising pantries, decluttering cabinets, and creating efficient meal preparation areas.
If you want to make a head start on your kitchen…
- Remove used or expired items first
- Put storage systems in place. Think clear (labelled!) containers for dry goods and tiered raisers to easily group similar items together.
- Create zones for cooking, baking, tea/coffee, and so on.
- Make the most of vertical space by installing hooks under cabinets for hanging mugs or utensils.
- Use drawer organisers for storing cutlery, utensils, and kitchen gadgets.
5. Utility Rooms
Utility rooms can quickly become a dumping ground — but a professional organiser can help.
A professional organiser will restore order by organising laundry supplies, creating efficient workflows, and maximising your space.
If you want to make a head start on your utility room…
- Use shelves and bins to organise your laundry supplies and create a dedicated area for folding clothes.
- Install a rod for hanging clothes to dry too.
- Hang a pegboard on the wall for organising tools and cleaning supplies.
- Install a fold-down drying rack for air-drying clothes.
6. Bedrooms/Wardrobes
Wardrobes aren’t just a place to store our clothes; they often house memories. There’s no denying that clothes can carry sentimental value. They can be particularly tricky to tackle if you’re prone to body image issues too.
Don’t worry, professional organisers are here to help! We’ll streamline your closet, optimise under-bed storage, and create a peaceful atmosphere while offering you bag-loads of emotional support.
(We know decluttering can be an emotional process — but don’t worry, with A Good Moment Company, we’re here to support you and you always have the final say.)
If you want to make a head start on bedrooms and wardrobes…
- Start organising your wardrobe seasonally. Clothes are much easier to manage when you rotate seasonal items in and out.
- Use velvet hangers, They look great and they stop clothes from slipping.
- Keep surfaces like nightstands and dressers as clutter-free as possible. Come bedtime, you’ll drift off much faster.
- Use drawer dividers or organisers to separate socks, underwear, and accessories.
- Install a bedside caddy or floating shelf for storing books, glasses, and bedside essentials.
7. Bathrooms
Lotions, potions, and toiletries…. Bathrooms can often be packed to the brim with products and that can add up to one thing: overwhelm!
Never fear, a professional organiser can restore order by decluttering cabinets and creating effective storage solutions.
If you want to make a head start on your bathrooms…
- Limit products and only keep those you use regularly.
- Use over-the-door organisers for storing hair tools, toiletries, and cleaning supplies.
- Install a shower caddy or corner shelf to keep shower essentials organised and within reach.
8. Closets and storage spaces
Whether it’s a hot press that’s packed to bursting or a storage closet you’re afraid to open, a professional organiser has the expertise to tackle it.
If you want to make a head start on closets and storage spaces…
- Group similar items together, like linens, towels etc

10. Garage/ Sheds

A good professional organiser isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty. We’ll get to work organising tools and equipment, culling clutter, and maximising space in your shed or garage.
