The Cardboard Kingdom

When I walked into this room, I was greeted by a sea of Amazon boxes, a lamp doing its best yoga pose, and a mattress that seemed just a little bit surprised to still be visible. As a professional organizer, I’ve seen my fair share of box jungles, but this one had a certain charm—a sort of “we moved in last decade and never stopped” energy. And you know what? That’s okay. Life happens, storage happens, and cardboard has a sneaky way of multiplying when no one’s looking.

What I appreciate most about this space is that it clearly has a story. Maybe it’s a transition room. Maybe it’s the “just for now” room that became “forever.” Whatever its origin, it’s bursting with potential. A professional home organizer doesn’t show up to judge—we show up to cheer you on as you reclaim your space. And with some decluttering services, this room could go from “uh-oh” to “oh wow” in less time than you think.

Here’s how I’d start: First, create zones. All the gift bags, baskets, pool noodles, and mystery cords get sorted into categories. Second, declutter. If it’s broken, expired, or a mystery item from the depths of 2008, it’s time to let it go. A house decluttering service can make this step less overwhelming and a lot more empowering. And third, assign each remaining item a home. That’s where organizing services shine—turning piles into purpose.

People often associate professional organizing services with fancy pantries or walk-in closets, but organizing businesses handle rooms like this all the time. Whether you’re using a closet organizer company to reimagine storage, or need a garage organizing company to spill over into your “bonus” room, support is available. And yes, garage organizers are excellent at taming these utility spaces, too!

So if you’ve got a room that’s a little more “Tetris challenge” than “organized spaces,” don’t panic. Call in a professional decluttering service, or a home organizer who can help you declutter your home one box at a time. It’s never too late to unbury the bed—and the peace of mind that’s hiding underneath.
