How Our Home Organizing Process Works

Your home should flow, not fight you.

Our process is built for the real-life chaos of LA parents — school drop-offs, commutes, sports bags, tiny toys, and everything in between. We take the overwhelm off your plate and create systems that actually stick.

What to Expect During Your Home Organizing Session

STEP ONE

Booking and consultation for your organizing project

Customer action: Share which spaces feel overwhelming and send any reference photos.

Straighten Up Homes action: We review your needs, recommend the right organizing package, and confirm your session.

STEP TWO

Preparing your home for your professional organizing session

Customer action: Make sure we can access your space and set aside any “must keep” items. No need to clean first.

Straighten Up Homes action: We map out zones, create your custom plan, and prep any recommended organizing products.

STEP THREE

Organizer arrival and in-home walkthrough

Time: Your scheduled organizing start time.

Straighten Up Homes action: We walk the space together, confirm your priorities, and talk through how you want the space to function

STEP FOUR

Sorting, editing, and hands-on home organization

Duration: Varies by space + project size.

Straighten Up Homes action: We sort, categorize, contain, label, and style — building systems your whole family can follow.

STEP FIVE

Final reveal and home organization systems tour

Customer action: Walk through your finished space and make sure everything feels intuitive and sustainable.

Straighten Up Homes action: We explain each zone, adjust anything that doesn’t feel right, and show you simple reset routines.

STEP SIX

Post-session support and planning for future organizing needs

Customer action: Live in your space and notice what feels better (and what you might want to organize next).

Straighten Up Homes action: We check in, answer questions, and help you plan future projects or seasonal refreshes.

Moving Organization Support

Moving is a lot.

Decisions. Boxes. Timelines. And somehow… more stuff than you remembered owning. Our moving packages are designed to support you before, during, and after a move—so nothing feels rushed, chaotic, or overwhelming.

HAPPY CLIENTS

I would give 100 stars if I could. Ashley and her team were AMAZING! They were total professionals on a job that I thought would be nearly impossible-

-they turned my grandpa's former music studio, aka clutter-lounge, into a clean and organized bedroom.

... What's more, they took great care with his valued possessions such as photos and musical instruments, they truly respected his collection and sentimental items.

ALISON

Ashley recently came in and helped me with my disastrous closet. I don't have a very large closet but Ashley really made it work! She helbed me edit and reorganize and set up a better system. I can't recommend Ashley enough. She was so sweet, worked fast, and the results were amazing. Can't wait to have her back for other parts of my house!

DANIELLE

Straighten Up organized my daughters cluttered room and gave everything in there a home. It was the best investment ever. More recently, we had her team take on my moms garage and organize the 50+ years of things that accumulated in there and we have been so happy with the results. thank you!
