 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been especially intrigued at looking forward at what’s new and different for organizing. Trends, what’s popular and what’s hip, show us the direction that our industry is heading. In the past there has been lots of interest in hoarding and clearing out stuff. \u00a0There\u2019s more substance to organizing now. \u00a0New tv shows are sharing forward thinking trends in the organizing industry. Netflix show Tidying Up with Marie Kondo created buzz internationally. \u00a0Here\u2019s a few other trends that are trickling out into our world.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Organizing with Style<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s what I call \u201cthe pinterest factor.\u201d \u00a0Organizing is not just about decluttering and categorizing. It\u2019s more about the style of your home and office too. \u00a0We have take organizing up a level to include a highly visible part of home design and function. \u00a0That includes home design options with color and labelling. The style factor<\/a> includes cute color or clear containers, chalk or faux chalk labels, and adding storage in innovative spaces. \u00a0A file cabinet can be a repurposed ottoman or a series of matching notebooks. \u00a0Style is a factor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Small spaces, Multi purpose spaces and Multi-generational homes<\/h3>\n

Return on investment on space is a top priority. \u00a0Dwellings are being evaluated for size, spacial options and use. \u00a0Small spaces are inviting for cost and require a special approach to maximizing the space<\/a>.\u00a0 At the same time, multi purpose spaces<\/a> where people live and work at home give us flexibility and options. Multi purpose spaces maximize use of your home.\u00a0 With baby boomers caring for aging parents and new tots, many more families are living in multi-generational<\/a> homes.\u00a0 Looking at the maximum flexibility of our homes and the connectedness of family, this trend is on the upswing.\u00a0 With more people in a home, there is a strong need for organization, easy access storage and lower clutter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence<\/h3>\n

We all have Siri, Alexa and other “organizing friends”<\/a> who help us with timers, checklists, and more. The Smart Home is here to stay with lights, door cameras, and climate control in our homes.\u00a0 There is a long list of ways to use AI for productivity. Our digital native kiddos have their organizing friends wake them, tell bedtime stories and offer meditation.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Eco-Friendly Organizing<\/h3>\n

With more emphasis on ecofriendly products, organizing with shabby chic, re-usable products and re-purposing makes sense.\u00a0 Setting up a recycling center helps you stay on top of this trend. These stations are easy to access and drop in items, as well as take to the curb weekly.\u00a0 Donating helps you be a part of this trend<\/a>, as opposed to trashing items and adding to a landfill.\u00a0 Regular donating is part of the big picture of organizing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Organizing trends are turning us toward more practical, functional and inexpensive spaces.\u00a0 It all comes down to using our space wisely and productively. There’s no longer only a spring cleaning time and now organizing is all the time! Organizing has become more a part of our daily consiousness.\u00a0 Start now with one of these trends to empower and motivate you.<\/p>\n
