A Professional Organizer Reveals Her Favorite Products of All Time
There’s is a quote by professional organizer Kristen Ziegler, of the company Minima, that really resonates with me: “I think a lot of people view organizing as arranging things and purchasing containers.” As she exemplifies in her home tour and describes in a post about staying tidy all year long — true and long-lasting organization isn’t just about containers.
But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some good products out there that can help! I asked Kristen to share some of her favorites boxes, dividers, organizers and more, both ones she uses herself and ones she recommends to her clients. Use her suggestions as a shopping guide for when you’re ready to take the step of buying any new products on your journey to a more organized you.
Items Kristen owns that are favorites:
Along with perusing the resource list of her house tour, these are some other items Kristen has purchased for herself and heartily recommends. I actually love that she lists some items that aren’t necessarily what you would consider to be an “organizing” product; more proof that organization is a whole-home kind of philosophy.
- Bed linens — OFELIA VASS duvet cover & pillowcases
- Trash cans — FILUR bin w/ lid
- Office storage — ALEX drawer unit
- My entire kitchen is IKEA and I love it!
Items Kristen recommends to her clients all the time:
Considering Kristen is a business owner and making sure clients are happy and successful is in her job description, you know if she’s recommending these products to clients, they’ve got to be good!
