Since Marie Kondo‘s launch of her book ‘The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up’ and Netflix show, sparking joy decluttering has become cool. But she’s right. Not only can cleaning up be super satisfying, but there’s also nothing quite like having an organised sanctuary to regain some clarity and control in our lives, especially amidst the chaos of the pandemic.
Tidying up isn’t your forte or you have no energy nor time on your hands to get that chaotic closet sorted? Here are seven professional home organisers in Singapore to have on your speed dial, and their rates.
Originally from France, Get Organised & Beyond founder Nathalie Ricaud’s passion for organising started as a child. “I was raised without systems or schedules. Looking back, I’d say organising things around the house was my way of creating the structure that had been absent in my life,” she says.
Your session starts with a short chat on the challenges you face, be it decluttering or time management, or to ask any questions. From there, you can choose to get hands-on assistance, have an on-site consultation while executing the deed on your own, or opt for online coaching if you need just a bit of advice to get on the right track.
Rates: The hourly rate for a three-hour onsite session is $120 on weekdays, and $150 on weekends. The initial discussion is complimentary.
