Over the past twelve months, Marie Kondo has revolutionized the idea of how to create a harmonious space by eliminating objects that don't "bring joy." The popularity of this concept isn't because of its unique stance, but its ability to strike a chord that too many belongings can make us have negative emotions. But why does this happen?
The average American spends more than 30 minutes a day preparing food and cleaning up in the kitchen. The kitchen was once only used for preparation. Today, many homes and families use it as a place to entertain and eat. With so much activity flourishing, it's surprising how many people feel they are limited in terms of space.
We engage a lot more with our closet than we could ever imagine. And, when this portion of the home is not meeting our needs, it can send our day into disarray. Most homes have to work with the space that was provided. But, with help from a professional, you can transform its utility. Custom closet solutions are perfect organizational options for those with unique needs.
