After the clutter has been cleaned out, it's time to organize. When everything has a place, we have fewer things to worry about. "When clutter is tempered, styled, organized, or decorated there becomes a flow," says says Melanie Charlton Fowler, owner of Clos-ette, a professional organizing company, explaining how we can allow our energy to flow naturally in a space. No matter the daily routine of the client, interior designers can devise a plan that makes it easy to stay organized…

When it comes to a budget-friendly system, celebrity closet designer Lisa Adams loves to recommend The Container Store's new Avera line. "It offers a few design details that I incorporate into my custom designs—from lighting to angled shoe shelves to drawer inserts," she says. "I like the storage bins that fit perfectly into their cubbies!" — Lisa Adams #dreamcloset #closetdesign

“I’m seeing an increasing number of clients opting for a grey-tone wood floor! Not too dark, not too light, but a nice medium grey undertone that complements any color of cabinetry—painted or stained. I think this falls into line with more and more clients also choosing grey closets! In the past, white was often the way to go, but now I’m seeing clients look for ways to set their spaces apart, and grey seems like a neutral, livable option.” — Lisa Adams #hardwood #hardwoodfloor #floortrends
