Second book from the Californian queen of home organization and author of Minimalista, Shira Gill

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Discover Shira Gill's new book LifeStyled, out in January 2025

Get inspired to level up your home organisation with tips, Q&As, and photos of the living spaces of twenty-five international home organisers, from the author of Minimalista.

Whenever people learn that Shira Gill is a professional home organiser, they always lean in and ask the same question: "So, is your home really that organised?" Spoiler alert: the answer is yes.

Organized Living was inspired by Shira's desire to give others a glimpse into this rarely-seen world: The ultra-organised homes of people who organise others. There are plenty of books highlighting the spaces and stories of designers, entrepreneurs, and creatives; here, Shira showcases the homes of home organisers, from London to Lisbon, Paris to Portland, giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into this meticulously kept world.

Organized Living will introduce you to not only the aspirational spaces of the most organised people in the world, but also to the organisers themselves and the passion that fuels their work. Through images and interviews, you'll gain expert tips and resources, loads of visual inspiration, and clever organising hacks you can use in your own home, such as:

  • Ditching the packaging
  • Choosing stylish storage
  • Elevating the most neglected spaces
  • Putting things away, right away

People are naturally curious about the homes of professional organisers. With books, TV shows, and the arrival of viral and global celebrity organiser, Marie Kondo, home organisers have been elevated as top lifestyle influencers. Through blogs, podcasts, and social media platforms like Instagram, home organisers have further cemented their place in the cultural zeitgeist. And Shira Gill, the organiser of organisers, is the perfect tour guide to walk us through these professional organisers' homes featured in her latest book.
