The season of spring cleaning is on the horizon. While some people are more than happy to channel their inner Marie Kondo and spend a weekend reorganizing every drawer, for serious shopaholics, sentimental hoarders, or the simply overwhelmed, the thought alone is enough to shut the door and deal with it ‘later’.
Luckily, New York is full of professionals who declutter and reorganize for a living. The right expert won’t just help you part ways with what you’ve been holding onto; they’ll assess your space, rethink how it functions, and put systems in place that actually last.
For busy New Yorkers, it’s an investment that pays off daily.
Lisa Jacobs of Imagine It Done
With over 20 years of experience decluttering people’s homes, Lisa Jacobs is an industry veteran. She works with her 12-person team to systemize and beautify NYC homes, with the intention of working with the homeowner so that it’s manageable for them in the long run. A bigwig in the home organization world, Lisa’s work is a regular feature on the social pages of Manhattan socialites and influencers, and she is regularly seen speaking on expert panels and sharing viral tips on social media, for those looking to try their hand at organizing themselves.
Natalie Ron of Swoon Spaces
A NYC-native, Natalie Ron’s love of organizing started back in childhood, spending time in shoe shops arranging the shoe boxes rather than trying them on. Now, she’s built a business that specializes in decluttering homes in New York, Los Angeles, and Austin. Her focus is keeping her client’s homes as beautiful as they are functional, and has helped stars like Kathy Hilton transform her space.
Dawn Spaulding of Hither Hive
Hither Hive helps busy New Yorkers simplify and elevate their home lives, offering professional decluttering services with a specialism in post- and pre-move organization. Depending on need, Hither Hive can assist with any relocation project: from move-in and settle-in assistance, including packing and unpacking, to complete project management, such as sourcing furniture, stocking the pantry, space planning, and hiring movers. Founder and CEO Dawn Spaulding brings both passion and professional expertise: she’s a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, a certified KonMari consultant, and has a background in real estate, operating out of both Manhattan and East Hampton.
Janine Sarna-Jones of Organize Me
The name for Janine Sarna-Jones’ business came about when she was explaining what she offers and the most common response was; “I wish someone would organize me”. Now, she’s been in the business for over 25 years, with a concierge-style team around her assisting their clients with move management, unpacking services, estate clearance, and project management.
Louisa Roberts and Corrin McCoy of Neat Method
While Neat Method could be described as a boutique organization, that isn’t to say it’s not used to big projects. Founders Louisa and Corrin’s skill set span organizing a kitchen cupboard to decluttering full brownstones, plus moving support if their client is in need of a bigger home. A quick peruse of their website shows their high attention to detail.
