Imagine coming home to a space that feels serene, stress-free, and superbly organized—what do you see? Some might picture a color-coded closet, dedicated storage spaces, and stacks of bins with neatly typed labels that clearly distinguish their contents. Others might envision wicker baskets, ottomans, and drawers that discreetly hide the daily clutter.

The truth is, organization is not a “one size fits all” concept. As one of 78 people across the globe who have achieved Master Certified status of a KonMari Method Organizer, Melissa Klug, owner and chief clutter conqueror at Twin Cities-based Home By Eleven, says personality type plays a big role in determining the best organization strategies to ensure lasting success. “Generally, Type A people need to know exactly where everything is, with labels and very sensible places to put everything, [while] Type B people might need a little bit more flexibility to adapt a more laid-back approach to organizing,” she explains. Klug’s advice? Be honest with yourself and focus on what works for you. “No matter where you’re starting, organization is achievable!” homebyeleven.com
