Welcome to Tidy Living Ideas! I’m Megan, and I believe that a calm, organized home is the foundation for a calm, organized life. This site is your friendly guide to everything home organizing, smart storage ideas, and the art of decluttering.
I created Tidy Living Ideas because I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to feel buried under clutter. I’m not some naturally born minimalist—I used to be messy and constantly stressed by the chaos around me.
But through trial and error, I discovered the powerful, peace-making magic of creating a system that works, not just for my stuff, but for my life.
Here, we don’t aim for perfection; we aim for peace.
My Philosophy: Organized, Not Obsessed
You don’t have to get rid of everything you own to be organized, and your storage solutions don’t have to look sterile. My approach focuses on practical, beautiful, and sustainable systems that are easy to maintain.
- Practical: Ideas that work for real people in real homes (yes, even small ones!).
- Beautiful: Organization that elevates your space and makes you smile.
- Sustainable: Systems that you can actually stick to without burnout.
I want to help you transform your space from a source of stress into a sanctuary, making room for what truly matters to you.
Fun Facts About Megan
Here are a few things about me that might sound familiar:
- I’m a recovering clutter-bug. Seriously. If I can learn to love decluttering, anyone can!
- My secret weapon is a label maker. I use it on everything. If it doesn’t move, it gets a label.
- I’m obsessed with container shopping. Finding the perfect, functional bin or basket is my idea of a perfect Saturday afternoon.
- I always say: “Don’t just tidy up, clear out.” The hardest part is often letting go, but it’s always worth it.
- I’m a big believer in the “one-in, one-out” rule for clothes, books, and kitchen gadgets.
- The first place I organized in my home that made the biggest difference was my junk drawer. It’s the small victories that build momentum!
