"It's about making space for the life you want to live."
I'm Shelley Kinsella and I'm the founder of The Tidy Home, a Brooklyn-based home organizing service specializing in helping families create calm, functional spaces that feel good to live in.
With a background as a senior designer at Ralph Lauren, as well as experience as a yoga teacher and Reiki training, I bring a creative and holistic approach to organizing. I believe our homes have a powerful effect on how we feel, and that creating order isn't simply about putting things away. It's about making space for the life you want to live.
I have a particular love for tackling children's toys, artwork, and the everyday clutter that comes with family life. I can help you sort through what to keep, what to donate, what to sell, and what can finally be let go, always with kindness and without judgment.
Often, the hardest part of decluttering isn't the object itself, but the emotional attachment we have to it. Together, we can gently work through those ties so you can let go of what no longer serves you and keep the things that truly matter.
From apartment organizing and closet overhauls to playrooms, collections, and everyday household clutter, my goal is to create systems that are beautiful, practical, and easy for you to maintain.
Whether you need a complete reset or simply want to reclaim one area of your home, I'll help you create more space, both physically and mentally, so your home can function with greater ease and your life can feel a little lighter.
Every project starts with a free virtual chat about your home to see where I can best help.
