Your Tidy Space

Your Tidy Space Professional Declutterer and Organiser Hi! I’m Francesca and I am passionate about organising.

As a mum of two young children I understand what a difference a tidy organised space can make to maintaining a happy home. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and have worked in various roles all of which have given me relevant experience which can be applied in my role as a professional organiser. I get huge satisfaction and joy from turning a messy, disorganised room (or drawer, cupboar

d, whole house!) into a tidy, calm, usable space. I am a member of the Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO).

Looking for a productive half term activity? While “Let’s declutter” might earn you a grunt or an eye roll 🙄 from your tween or teen, you might get a better reaction if you mention they could make some money from it…

I recently worked with a client who had stacks of old DVDs and CDs. It can be tricky to get your head around parting with them, having spent a lot buying them in the first place (I hear this from clients so often), and so I suggested she see if her son fancied selling them online via sites like Music Magpie, WeBuyBooks, or Zapper - it’s really easy, and the pounds soon add up (enough to tempt any pocket-money-seeking teen anyway!).

Another great option is selling clothes and bits on Vinted 👕👜
With a little guidance, it’s a perfect half-term project - clearing space and earning cash at the same time! 🙌

Helping a loved one sort through a lifetime of belongings takes huge trust 💛 - which made this review particularly touching to receive.

I loved working with this lady. We made brilliant progress in our sessions together, filled with as much laughing along the way as there was decluttering!

Had a little wardrobe shuffle recently ✨ I tried folding my knitwear into drawers (because apparently that’s the ‘right’ way 🤷‍♀️). Looked pretty, saved space, made me feel like a proper grown up… but turns out I’m really not a folder, nor are drawers the way forward for me because it seems that when it comes to clothing, if I can’t see it, I forget it exists!
So I’m back to hanging. Yes, there’ll be hanger bumps and less space, but at least I can see (and therefore remember to wear) what I own.

Lesson reminded: the “perfect” system for you is whichever one you’ll actually stick to 💪 and sometimes discovering it means a bit of trial and error!

It’s that time of year when lots of people start thinking about moving house 🍂✨ So I thought I’d share a few tips that might help if you’re planning a move this Autumn.

And even if you’re staying put, these ideas can give your home a fresh new feel - and remind you of all the reasons you fell in love with it in the first place. 🏡

🧥🥾Now that we’re having to reach for jackets and coats again, I thought I’d share this before and after of a client’s cloakroom cupboard. This cupboard is a fantastic space, but just needed a bit of zoning and decluttering. They were able to happily part with around 30% of the shoes that were in there (when they’ve been buried at the bottom of a pile, chances are you haven’t missed them!) and a few rarely used sporting things were able to move to the loft. Having a seasonal sort out changes a space like this from being chaotic and overwhelming to functional and helpful. Absolutely an area worth spending some time keeping on top of!

After our session, I recommended some tubs that fitted into the spaces and so now each family member has their own designated spot, taking into account heights/habits and abilities (a 2 year old won’t be hanging a coat on a hanger but could be coaxed into hanging it on a low hook!).

What’s your coat and shoe storage like? Even when you feel you’ve nailed it, maintenance is key, but that’s where a good system pays off ⭐️

Just 2 hours to turn this outbuilding from chaos to calm! 🧹💪
A few bits went to the local charity shop, some made their way to the recycling centre, and the rest were grouped into zones that actually make sense based on how often they’re used.
Outbuildings like this can so easily become clutter magnets — especially after a big garden or DIY project when it’s tempting to just shove things in and call it a day (definitely guilty of this 🙋‍♀️!).
But taking a bit of time now and then to reset the space really helps keep it functional. And the trick? Make it just as easy to put things away as it is to grab them. Future you will thank you. 🙌✨

Thinking about decluttering but need a little nudge?

Here’s something to keep in mind: even when we don’t notice it, our brains are busy processing everything around us — and that includes all the clutter. It can quietly drain your energy!

The good news? Clearing out even a little can make your space (and your mind) feel so much lighter. You’ve got this! 💪

It’s been a while but I thought I’d drop in to say hello and share a couple of pics from a recent client session, which was a mammoth shoe-sorting job!

This handy cupboard was choc-full, totally overwhelming and therefore had been shut and avoided. So many lovely pairs that would give Cinderella a run for her money, unworn and forgotten about! We chatted about how likely each pair were to be worn again, the majority of which weren’t and so were passed on to the local charity shop ready to be loved and worn again 👠 ❤️

A couple of the most spectacular pairs were kept, and I’m hoping at some stage to create a nice way for my client to have them out on display as decoration where they can still be enjoyed even if not in the conventional way! 🤩

The theme for APDO’s Spring Clearing Week 2025 is ‘Your Legacy’, raising awareness of how our choices around home organisation and clutter impact our loved ones even when we’re no longer here.

This can feel incredibly uncomfortable to think about, of course. But I do feel quite passionately that if we all had an awareness of this theme throughout our lives, from when we move into our first adult home, then it would save a lot of clutter from building up and spare our loved ones some work once we’re not here. The younger we adopt this way of thinking, the less it has end-of-life connotations to it and feels easier to do. It’s not about getting rid of everything or being minimalist, it’s about being mindful about what we’re keeping and thinking about the impact beyond our own lives.

This is a category of clutter that I think many of us have. The things you buy, with the expectation that they’ll improve you or your life in some way. And then they sit there, waiting to be used, and the guilt builds up the longer they’re untouched 😣

⭐️ Whilst I absolutely think that having goals to work towards is brilliant and to be encouraged, holding on to old goal purchases which are now clutter, is not great for your home or your mind. Who needs to be reminded of something they planned to do but haven’t? Be realistic and kind to yourself! Life is busy, and so we can easily make excuses for not using them. But, if you now look at them and feel as though they’re a chore rather than an exciting invitation, it’s time for them to go. Stop the ‘that was a fail’ mental story, take control and make space. I bet you’ll feel relieved when you do!

Recent before and after pics from a wonderful job I had helping a lady with various disabilities to declutter and organise her home. We worked on 2 rooms, but as usual in the majority of sessions I got stuck in before remembering to take before photos 🤦🏼‍♀️ so these are just a couple of the spaces we worked on. This client is an avid crafter and had lots and lots of crafting goodies squirrelled away which we sorted through. I love what I do, and this job in particular was hugely uplifting! 🫶🏻

I’ve been a listener to Lisa’s podcast for a while now, and when she mentioned on there that she’d like to invite guests on to talk through their style dilemmas, I excitedly sent her a message. I’ve recently found myself overthinking outfit combinations and wanted Lisa’s expertise to help me see the wood for the trees!

After speaking to Lisa, I felt fired up to declutter my wardrobe and enlisted the help of my lovely mum and sister to assist me (because wardrobe decluttering is so much more fun when you do it with someone else who can hold you accountable and help you make your decisions). I managed to part with far more than I expected, many items of which were just not ‘me’ anymore, and now I feel a little bit bolder when choosing what to wear. I can still mostly be found in a black jumper of some variety, but now there’ll be a few more non-black outfit days thrown in there! Thank you for having me on the show Lisa!

Do you want to declutter and organise your wardrobe and want back up? DM me or give me a call, I’d love to help you! 🙌
