Organizing our homes is a simple way for us to regain some control in our everyday lives. The current vogue for doing just that is largely thanks to Japanese organization guru Marie Kondo and her book <em>The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up<\/em>. However, interior designers have been creating calming sanctuaries since way before Kondo&#8217;s term \u201cspark joy\u201d entered our lexicon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kondo\u2019s approach is to let go of everything that doesn\u2019t serve you \u2014 or, yes, bring you joy. But that doesn\u2019t mean your interiors can\u2019t feel special, lived in and wholly <em>you<\/em>. We spoke with top designers, as well as Rachel Rosenthal, founder of the professional organizing firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachelrosenthal.co\/\">Rachel and Company<\/a>, to learn how they keep spaces organized, elegant and practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Find Systems That Work for You<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/photo\/kitchen-contemporary-kitchen-los-angeles-ca\/3492062\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-950x634.jpg\" alt=\"Stephen Stone\" class=\"wp-image-335368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-950x634.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-524x350.jpg 524w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ScreenShot2018-11-28at1.45.18PM-1398x933.jpg 1398w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Photo by Sam Frost<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This Los Angeles home was reimagined as an open-concept modern villa, with new polished terrazzo floors adding to the overall streamlined look,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/photo\/kitchen-contemporary-kitchen-los-angeles-ca\/3492062\/\">Stephen Stone<\/a>, who designed the 32,000-square-foot estate. The flat-front cabinetry, waterfall countertops and understated appliances reflect the sleek aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most basic organizing principle,&#8221; says Rosenthal, &#8220;is that getting and staying organized isn\u2019t a onetime event but truly a way of life. That\u2019s why I\u2019m a big proponent of creating systems that are tailored to each client. These systems are flexible and can ultimately accommodate and change with my clients\u2019 lifestyles, helping to keep them organized long after I and my team leave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Reset Your Space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/photo\/eclectic-living-room-san-antonio-tx\/3453762\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/alamo-cottage-3-950x916.jpg\" alt=\"Collected Design Studio\" class=\"wp-image-335369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/alamo-cottage-3-950x916.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/alamo-cottage-3-363x350.jpg 363w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/alamo-cottage-3-120x116.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/alamo-cottage-3-768x741.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/alamo-cottage-3-967x933.jpg 967w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/alamo-cottage-3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Photo by Michael Hunter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cIt was important to keep the color scheme light and bright to highlight the family\u2019s heirloom collection of museum-quality Peruvian pottery,\u201d says Holly Rabinowitz, principal and creative director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/photo\/eclectic-living-room-san-antonio-tx\/3453762\/\">Collected Design Studio<\/a>, describing this eclectic San Antonio home. \u201cThe eye rests on the art because the overall feeling of the space is crisp and tailored.
