A professional organizer on what to consider before you remodel

Remodeling is an opportunity to create a space that reflects your personal style — but just as importantly, it’s an opportunity to incorporate better functionality into your everyday life. As a professional realtor, I’ve seen homes that were aesthetically beautiful, but just didn’t fit the needs of my clients. This can happen when the family needs a change or when the layout of the house is simply not maximized for productivity and efficiency.

For the most successful remodel, you’ll want to consider how you live now and how you’d like to live ideally. After all, redecorating is an opportunity to form new, more organized habits. Why not create a home that will make it easier for you to implement new habits? Here are four questions I recommend you consider before you remodel.
