“HOW IN THE WORLD DID WE ACCUMULATE SO MUCH STUFF?!” 30

LIVING-MAGAZINE.COM // FEBRUARY/MARCH 2022

Surely, I’m not the only one that feels this way. Along with kids (I have three of them) comes lots of collections. Little ones are more likely to stay organized if they have systems in place. Most of my clients have children, too, so organization is something that’s a must in all of my designs. I’m going to share some tips with you to help tackle the clutter. I love to group items together and organize them as an artistic collection. In this colorful playroom, I made an entire wall of books. We hung shallow shelving along a feature wall, allowing for their books to be proudly displayed. This gives a place for everything, allows the reader to see all of the books they have to choose from, and makes for a pretty cute, ever-evolving art installation. It’s a simple addition that could be added to most any room.
