Life, Sorted: Your Junk Drawer

HOW SORTED MAKES YOUR HOME EASIER

Let’s talk about the junk drawer. Almost every home has one. It’s usually jam-packed, but rarely helpful. Batteries, scissors, rubber bands, mystery cords—everything tossed together with no real system. Our client was frustrated because finding what she needed took too much effort, and somehow the one thing she was looking for was never there when it mattered. So she contacted Sorted and booked Nisonja to create a simple, functional system for her everyday essentials.

How Sorted helps:

Nisonja started by editing out duplicates and grouping like items together, so everything had a clear and logical home. From there, she focused on containment—using Everything Drawer Organizer Bins in carefully chosen sizes to maximize the drawer space. Each category now has defined boundaries, which means nothing is free-floating or getting lost. The result is a drawer that’s easy to use, easy to maintain, and actually supports everyday life.

Why this matters:
Organizing isn’t about making things look pretty or absolutely perfect. It’s about making small changes—like one drawer—that quietly remove friction from everyday routines.

What changed:

“I didn’t realize how much mental energy one drawer was stealing from me. Now it just works, and I don’t have to think about it.” – LA Customer

If your home looks okay but feels harder than it should, that's where Sorted comes in. Let us help you get organized.
