I'm Ruth Lawrence, a Home Organiser and Decluttering Expert in Ascot, Berkshire
I became a home organiser because of my passion for decluttering and the positive effect that a calm, organised house can have on our well-being. I know that when my house starts feeling out of control, so does my brain!
I honestly believe that living with clutter increases the difficulty level of our lives, making us drained, stressed and overwhelmed. I love helping people to declutter their homes and create systems which make their lives easier.
Getting your house organised isn't an instant fix, but it gives you the bandwidth to cope with the daily mental load when your home is uncluttered and easy to maintain.

5 Ways Decluttering and Organising Your Home Improves Your Life
Decluttering isn’t just ’tidying up', it’s a powerful way to reduce stress, improve wellbeing, and take back control of your space. Here are 5 real-life benefits of working with a professional home organiser to create a calmer, more functional home.
1. Reduces Stress and Mental Overload
Cluttered homes often create cluttered minds. By decluttering your home, you reduce daily stress and decision fatigue, making it easier to relax and focus.
2. Saves You Time Every Day
When everything has a place, you spend less time searching and tidying. A well-organised home simplifies routines and gives you more time back in your day. This can also reduce stress and improve relationships.
3. Supports Better Mental Health
Decluttering is proven to ease anxiety and reduce overwhelm. My decluttering services are designed to create peace of mind as well as physical space.
4. Makes Cleaning Quicker and Easier
An organised home with less clutter means less to clean, less to move around, and less buildup of mess, making it easier to stay on top of housework. This gives you back time for what really matters - enjoying life!
5. Gives You Confidence to Invite People Over
No more panic-tidying before guests arrive. A tidy, organised home feels welcoming, and gives you the confidence to open your door without worry. Whether it’s inviting your children’s friends over for playdates or having a dinner party, having a tidy home means you are always ready!

How does your decluttering and organising service work?
Ready to get organised? Here's my simple approach...
01
Consultation
I love to do an in-person consultation wherever possible, to get to know you and understand exactly what you'd like to achieve in your home. I also take measurements for any storage and make a plan that works for you.
Whether it's that your whole house needs decluttering, or you'd like your pantry neatly organised with labelled jars, I can do it all!
02
Decluttering
First, I'll empty the space & group items into categories. Next, we'll work together to make decisions about which items to declutter.
Then the fun part - you can leave me to work my home organisation magic and install any storage.
03
Organised Systems
The best bit - you'll get to enjoy your clutter-free, organised space and relax knowing that everything has a place.
Decluttering and simplifying your home creates space for the things you love. It's more than tidying - it's life-changing!

How does your decluttering service work?I’ve worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life — and one thing I’ve learned is that clutter can build up in any home, no matter the size. As a professional home organiser, I take a calm, intuitive approach to every session, working closely with you to reduce clutter at a pace that feels right for you. My decluttering services are supportive, relaxed and fun! I believe in making the process feel less overwhelming by working methodically and side-by-side with you. This is a real “in it together” approach, where I guide you gently (never pushy or bossy!) and help you make confident decisions about what stays and what goes. Together, we’ll reset your space, remove what no longer serves you, and create a home that feels lighter, calmer and easier to live in. Unwanted items can be donated or recycled, helping others while reclaiming valuable space in your home. Whether you’re tackling one room or the whole house, I’ll bring positive energy, practical solutions, and support, with plenty of laughs along the way.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional home organizer?Every person, and every home, is unique, and so is your perception of clutter. For some, visible mess like cluttered surfaces can trigger stress. For others, it’s the hidden chaos behind cupboard doors that weighs on their mind. Whatever your situation, decluttering can feel overwhelming, emotional, and even insurmountable if it’s built up over many years, or you’re coping with loss or health challenges. The truth is, it’s often easier to hold onto things than to decide where they belong, whether that’s in your home or out of it. That’s how clutter builds up so quickly and why many people struggle to keep on top of it. That’s where working with a professional home organiser makes all the difference. My decluttering services take away the stress, decision fatigue, and emotional drain that often come with tackling clutter alone. With laser focus and a calm, methodical approach, I help you create an organised home that feels tailored to you, not just tidy, but truly functional and easy to maintain. We’ll work together to reduce clutter, set up practical systems, and make real progress, quickly, thoroughly, and with plenty of support and encouragement. Most clients find the process surprisingly fun and cathartic!

How much does a professional home organiser cost?After your initial consultation, I’ll provide a tailored estimate for how long your decluttering project is likely to take. Many of my clients want to declutter and organise their entire home, so I typically break the work down by area, starting with the space that’s causing the most stress or disruption in daily life. As a general guide, I usually complete one room per day, with a daily rate of £350. This allows us to work thoroughly while creating a real, lasting transformation in your space. Hiring a professional organiser is a very personal decision — you’ll be spending time together, making decisions, and trusting someone to help you reset your home. That’s why I always recommend starting with just one area. It gives you a chance to see how I work and whether I’m the right fit for you before committing to lots of dates! My goal is always to make you feel supported, totally comfortable, and in control, while helping you create a lighter, more organised home that is lovely to live in.
