01
Declutter
My senior client's overfilled basement pantry was crowded with an excessive amount of holiday décor and years' worth of sentimental and forgotten items.
03
Sort
Laid out by category, the patterns emerged on their own: the doubles, the triples, the quiet evidence that less is more. Embracing change creates a sense of calm & peace.
02
Removal
We emptied everything off the shelves to create a blank canvas and intentionally planned the new layout, optimizing the pantry's vertical space & using labels for visibility.
04
Organize
The importance of an easy-to-maintain system is imperative for older adults who don't have the same energy for maintenance. The pantry was optimized for accessibility.
