From feng shui to interior decorating, clutter can ruin even the most beautiful of spaces. Knowing where and when to stop is a difficult lesson to learn &#8211; there are just so many beautiful decor pieces out there! We don\u2019t blame you for getting design happy. But when is a space <em>overly<\/em> designed? And yes \u2013 that is a real thing. We\u2019ve all walked into a room and felt overwhelmed.

Sometimes a new sofa, a piece of art or fresh coat of paint can resolve this. But other times, it can have other sources. As a designer, you should be able to work with your clients to identify these sources and improve the overall atmosphere.\n\nClutter does no favors to the feel of a room. You can fill a space with beautiful pieces, but if it\u2019s too full it won\u2019t feel right. Professional organizing teaches you how to organize pieces in a room. This creates better flow and a less busy design. This is especially important inside the home. Your clients want a relaxing space to return to after work. Creating this atmosphere is a lot easier if you know how to make the space look AND feel beautiful.\n<h3>Happier clients<\/h3>\nHave you ever felt frustrated when you can\u2019t find something? Maybe you\u2019re in a rush but your keys aren\u2019t in one of your three main dropping points! This can cause a lot of stress.\u00a0 Sometimes being disorganized can throw off your entire day. Helping your clients re-organize their space will make them immediately happier, and grateful in the long run.\n\nStorage solutions are an area where many designers and home owners struggle with. Everyone can imagine their dream space -that\u2019s the fun part! Imagining how to make a space work for you is a whole other story.\n\nProfessional organizing courses introduce you to the variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/11\/decluttering-clients-home-storage-spaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">storage solutions<\/a> available. Whether it\u2019s to organize shoes, kitchen supplies or toys, your clients will be grateful to have a functional space. If you can help your clients avoid daily frustrations, why wouldn\u2019t you?\n\nThis is especially great for those clients who have a good design eye to begin with, but struggle implementing their ideas![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11586&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;none&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Mindfulness design<\/h3>\nWe all know about the surge of mindful practices. This idea is not new, and has sprung up time and again for a reason! It\u2019s important to be thoughtful in your actions, especially when designing or decorating someone\u2019s home.\n\nProfessional organizing courses teach you how to carefully consider each design element you add. This will help you in your purchasing as well as your placement of design items. Slowing down can be tricky when you get excited about a design. The mindfulness that professional organizing courses instill will help every designer![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11588&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Productive spaces<\/h3>\nEither you run the space or the space runs you. We are sure you have heard people complain about their homes. Designers often hear \u201cthere just isn\u2019t enough space for us.\u201d While this may be true, sometimes all that\u2019s needed is a little re-jigging.\n\nAs a designer, it\u2019s your job to create spaces that reflect the personalities of your clients. No one wants a cookie cutter layout or decor plan! Creating a space reflective of your clients also applies to their interests, hobbies, and lifestyle.\n\nIt\u2019s important to spend time learning about your clients before you dive into the design. Find out what they enjoy doing, and how they spend their time at home. If your clients like hosting Sunday brunches, you better organize a space so extra seating can be easily accessed. For clients who enjoy stretching and yoga, try an open floor plan. Add some great storage options so they can hide away their equipment and do their living room yoga whenever they like!\n\nProfessional organizing teaches designers how to think in terms of optimization. We know you can make a room look beautiful, but can you make it <em>work<\/em>? When we say make it work, we mean make the space somewhere your clients actually want to spend time. Not only will they feel more comfortable in their home, but their productivity will be boosted as well. Professional organizing focuses on designing floor plans to fit individual clients and their needs.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11589&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Interpersonal skills<\/h3>\nWhile this may not relate directly to your design abilities, working with others is a huge part of your job. It\u2019s important to be patient and empathetic with clients. Sometimes changes that you consider small may feel large to others. This is a challenge especially if they\u2019ve been living in the same space for a long time. That\u2019s why designers often face <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/10\/6-clients-who-dont-know-they-need-a-professional-organizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resistance from clients<\/a> when presenting new ideas.\n\nProfessional organizing courses zero in on these issues. Since organizing can carry a heavy weight for clients, courses often spend time teaching the best ways to deal with interpersonal issues. This will undoubtedly help you in your design career. After all, personal connections are everything!\n\nEven if your clients disagreed with you at the beginning of the process, good interpersonal skills can turn the relationship around. Professional organizing will teach you how to tune into your clients\u2019 feelings and understand why they\u2019re resistant to change.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11590&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Business<\/h3>\nLast but not least, it is important to mention that many professional organizers are self-employed. This is a very mobile career after all. The job requires site visits and more site visits! This is why it is such an attractive career for those who like to be on the go.\n\nAs designers, you may have an interest in running your own business. The business lessons outlined in your professional organizing course will transfer to your design career. Learn how to write a business plan, register your business and insure yourself. These skills will help you understand the business side of things, and how to sustain your brand.\n\nProfessional organizing is one of the most important careers in the design industry. In this job, you truly have the power to turn your clients\u2019 lives around. If you are looking to add this designation to your portfolio, we can\u2019t encourage it enough. The spaces you design will become more functional, productive and pleasant.
