Saakhi & Sahib’s Effortless Home
Harmony at home, finally. We helped Saakhi and Sahib cross ‘every pile of clutter’ off their to-do list.
Saakhi and Sahib’s space was brimming with possibility and potential. But all they could see was a cluttered pantry, way too many clothes, and piles of paper everywhere!
“Our house was very messy, and we had no idea how to even begin organizing everything. We were aspiring minimalists, but we struggled on how to make our way there.”
Saakhi and Sahib came to us with some specific challenges they were facing in their condo:
KITCHEN.
They love to cook, but their kitchen and pantry wasn’t working for them. It was overloaded with food and hard to find what they needed.
WARDROBE.
Saakhi’s wardrobe was beautiful and extensive. Even though she was swapping out seasonal clothing, she was still struggling to see and store everything in a practical, functional way.
PAPERWORK.
They didn’t have a filing system, so papers were tucked in everywhere!“We would pass through the mudroom every day and sigh."
Clutter is delayed decisions.
Organizing is making those decisions.
Saakhi and Sahib needed to do some decision-making. And a lot of it. But they were struggling to do it on their own so they called in the Bright HQ team for support. We were their sounding boards and partners, down to the last detail. We helped them cross ‘home organizing’ off their to-do list to create a harmonious HQ.
Getting Organized the Bright HQ Way
The Walkthrough.
During our walkthrough, our team saw a clear vision and plan of action for their home.
Too much stuff wasn’t the problem. It was how they were using and storing the stuff.
We couldn’t wait to get in there and make sense of it all!
Our clients had never worked with a home organizer, so it was hard for them to envision how it would come together. This happens all the time! We see the path to get there, but words don’t do it justice. The best way forward is just to dive right in.
That’s exactly what we did. And in the end, their Effortless Home was everything they dreamed it to be.
Edit, Systematize, Store, Repeat!
We tackled the three main problem areas, along with minor changes in the living room, bathroom, front entrance and guest bedroom.
HERE’S HOW WE ORGANIZED EACH AREA:
01
DECLUTTER.
We helped them declutter and purge every problem area in their home. Their big wins? Getting rid of a lot of food they weren’t eating AND finally sorting that messy paperwork! We collected the papers and did an initial sort, and then Saakhi and Sahib spent over two hours deciding what to keep, shred, and recycle. The ‘shred’ pile (it was big!) went to Staples to be shredded.
02
DECODE HABITS.
Understanding and shifting habits is the only way to create real changes in your home. And good organization starts with habits outside of your house. We supported Saakhi and Sahib in creating the healthy habit of shopping a little more often, and buying less food at a time. We also added cost-effective Ikea bins to keep categories contained in the pantry.
03
DESIGN SMART SYSTEMS.
There were articles of clothing in almost every room of their condo. We consolidated it into two rooms and created a clear division of current clothing, off-season clothing, and accessories. We used a clothing rack to store all of Saakhi’s off-season wardrobe. That way, when she was ready to swap her clothes out, she’d just need to roll the rack into the master closet and make the switch. An easy and smart system!
“It takes me a lot less time to clean up my home now, and it feels less overwhelming to get things done around the house.”
Saakhi & Sahib’s Effortless Home
It took us 5 days to complete their whole-home project and once we were done - it was fully equipped with sustainable systems, practical solutions, and way less chaos!
The final result of the dressing room was functional and stunning! We added two Ikea Billy Bookcases to house the shoes and purses, as well as a rolling craft rack for hair accessories.
We also made dozens of other small shifts like moving furniture in the living room, reorganizing the bathroom, reworking the front entrance, and creating a proper spare bedroom. It all added up to a home worthy of this amazing couple. They finally felt freedom from the burden that had been weighing them down.
“Bright HQ is absolutely amazing! I love my home again, and I feel like I finally have it in order. I also feel so much more relaxed and calmer, and I feel happy and excited to be home. I don't feel embarrassed inviting my family and friends over now.”
