Nicole’s Effortless Home
Nicole reclaimed her space and peace of mind after a Bright HQ reset.
Every time Nicole walked into her storage room, she could only see the piles of chaos and the ‘supposed tos’. The mess felt so overwhelming that she just didn’t know where to start.
“The storage room was my main nemesis. I wondered why I was spending so much time worrying about a storage room. I would stand inside it, contemplating what I could do to create some sense of harmony.”
Although she didn’t know how, Nicole knew that she was ready to welcome a new way of living. She wanted a home that filled her with peace and harmony.
So when she gave us a call, we knew exactly what to do: design a home that inspired Nicole from the outside-in.
…And we did! We helped free up Nicole’s space – and mind – once and for all.
Getting Organized the Bright HQ Way
The Walkthrough.
When our space feels cluttered, so does our mind. And getting organized – the right way – is the Bright HQ version of self-care! So we were thrilled to hear that this project was Nicole’s way of prioritizing herself.
“I consider this an act of self-care, like a gift I give to myself. It is worth the effort to have a space that reflects my priorities.”
This was about Nicole, not her stuff. From start to finish, her presence in the Effortless Home process was essential. We wanted to take into consideration what mattered most to her every step of the way.
Edit, Systematize, Store, Repeat!
The storage room, kitchen, and toy areas were causing Nicole a lot of stress. One by one, we tackled each space.
HERE’S HOW WE DID IT:
01
DECLUTTER.
Nicole was craving a home filled with belongings that brought her joy so she went on a purging spree, clearing out all of the things she didn’t need. In the end, she was left with fewer belongings that she truly connected with and honoured.
02
DECODE HABITS.
Nicole knew that she had unconsciously created the ‘stress-mess’ in her home and she was ready to take her power back. We helped her shift the cycles of clutter at its roots: her habits! We supported her in replacing the unconscious habits with healthy ones to make stress-free living her new norm.
03
DESIGN SMART SYSTEMS.
An Effortless Home is one that supports your dreams and lifestyle. And good systems are the key to getting there. Once we sorted the storage room, it opened up space and made room for a hobby that had been pushed aside: creative projects. Nicole’s sewing supplies had been packed away for the past four years, even though she found sewing to be rejuvenating. With all of the new space, she could finally make it a priority again!
“It was as if clearing the junk from the basement also cleared the junk from my mind.”
Nicole’s Effortless Home
We helped Nicole release the clutter and embrace a home that moves her forward.
“I am easily able to get projects done that I had found too overwhelming before. I fixed some shelves in a closet and installed hooks to hold the brooms behind the back door. When I needed a screw, I knew which drawer in the basement held one. Having all my tools in place and knowing where things are makes me feel more capable and self-reliant.”
An Effortless Home allows you to focus on who and what you love. Work with us to create your own uplifting HQ that supports your dreams!
Bright HQ Tidy Tip
Whole-home organization is not just about the looks…it’s about the feels, too! Too often, we hyper focus on aesthetics, and forget the most important part: YOU. Your habits. Your lifestyle. Your dreams. When you dig beneath the surface and design your home around who you are, it sends a clear message: You matter. You are a priority. And this leaves you feeling uplifted and inspired by your space every single day.
