Interior Design Today - Episode 010

Welcome to the Interior Design Today radio show with Mary Knackstedt. In our 10th episode, Mary talks about organization. Would you like to make some changes in the way you live? Very simply, change your environment! It's amazing to see what little changes can do to really change the way we work and live. I have seen people from children to senior citizens, make wonderful constructive changes by really just making a few small changes in their environments. I always laugh when a parent brings me into a child's room and says, "My child never hangs up his clothing. This room is a mess!" I start looking at the closet, and I see a rod for the hanging clothing that's 5 feet high. The poor child couldn't possibly reach it. When you change things and make it convenient and neat and easy for the child, it's surprising how they alter their behavior. So many of us, when we change the things and activities that we participate in, we don't make the appropriate changes in our work spaces or our living spaces. So often, we take on new projects. Well, each new project requires a certain type of storage and coordination. Have you really allowed for this? There are activities which you are no longer participating in, quite as strongly as you did. The question is, have you made the adjustment to eliminate those or put those aside and prepare for your new interests? Are things convenient for you? Check it out. Open your drawers. Are they in order? Do they really look the way you want them to look? Can you find things, or are you wasting time looking for things? If you waste more than a few minutes a day, an interior designer can help you better position those objects so that they are conducive and easy for you to find and use. Make your interior pleasurable, enjoy it. It's really one of the greater pleasures in life; one that we can enjoy every day.
