Closet Organizing • Lincoln Park Chicago
“OMG I didn’t recognize my closets after SimplyOrganized organized them! They were fast, efficient, and most importantly, freed up time for me to do things I wouldn’t have had time to do myself.”
Angelia
Decluttering | Packing Service • Deerfield, IL
“When we sold our home, the tasks of sorting, packing, trashing and donating were daunting in our short time frame. Irene came to the rescue. Her energy, enthusiasm and expertise took us to finish line in time for our closing. Irene was a true professional throughout the process. She was our quarterback and we highly recommend her company for all organizing and related services.”
Scott
Decluttering & Home Organizing | Family Home Setup • North Shore, Chicago
“I would leave more stars if I could! From start to finish, every interaction was kind and professional. Irene set everything up promptly as we were preparing for our baby at the end of my third trimester. Mary, Lana, and Diana came in and made quick work of organizing things I had spent years dreading.
The entire team was truly non-judgmental and respectful of the items I had, simply helping me better access what I chose to keep. I have a history of difficulty letting go of things, and the SimplyOrganized team transformed the experience into a pleasant one.
I literally looked up after one hour of the team being at my house and almost cried because of how much they had already taken off my plate. I cannot thank the team enough!”

Mickey
Whole Home Decluttering & Organizing • Glenview, IL
“Irene and her team are incredible! I had tried other companies before meeting Irene, and no other compares. She is a flexible, fun, dedicated professional with so many great ideas and pure attention to detail. We are extremely impressed and forever grateful for all of her hard work that she and her team have put into our home. I felt very overwhelmed with what I had to clean out and organize and SimplyOrganized made it happen so perfectly. A truly amazing team to have helping you!!”

Austin
Unpacking Service | Nursery Organizing • Northbrook, IL
“I was badly in need of organizing assistance when my family moved to our new house in the suburbs, and I was almost 9 months pregnant! I reached out to Irene in a panic and she was able to help on very short notice. Irene, Mary, and their team expertly organized several rooms in my house and were a pleasure to work with. I love the finished result and would absolutely recommend them. Thank you Simply Organized for making our move that much smoother, and helping prepare for baby’s arrival!”
Kathleen
Office Organization | Paper Management | Decluttering • Wilmette, IL
“The SimplyOrganized team was simply wonderful - and there was not an ounce of judgment with our crazy spaces. Irene completed our initial consultation and was very informative, then Mary and Lena provided product recommendations and transformed two closets and our paper organization. The team was flexible, kind, and efficient. If you are short on time or overwhelmed with self-organization, we could not recommend them more!”
Megan
Garage Organization | Decluttering • Wilmette, IL
“THIS TEAM IS INCREDIBLE! SimplyOrganized helped us organize our master bedroom, master bath, and kitchen. I finally have a home again, and the perpetual baseline level of stress is finally gone — and it is ALL THANKS to SimplyOrganized.
My parents and my in-laws were absolutely floored by how beautiful and organized everything is in our home. This team is incredibly hard working, and they genuinely seem to enjoy what they do, which makes the process so much more fun and enjoyable.
Irene came for the consultation and was very thorough, and when the team came, Mary, Melanie, and Erica were READY to go. No minute was wasted. It was very clear they were making the most out of the time we had together.
Melanie helped me gently let go of items I was struggling with, and I found peace knowing how intentional they are with their donation locations. They came up with amazingly creative solutions, were always open to feedback, and in fact, solicited my thoughts many times to ensure I was happy with the set up.
They made me feel comfortable and safe enough to actually speak my thoughts. This team is kind, compassionate, hard working, and genuinely just fun to be around. I plan to reach out to them whenever any new needs arise.
If you are looking for a peaceful, organized, functional space, look no further. You’ve found your team.”
Melanie
Unpacking and Organizing • Highland Park, IL
“Irene and her team are simply…amazing! They helped unpack and organize loads of clothes after our big move fr CA to the Chicagoland area. It’s was the best decision I made to bring in professional organizers to help start my life stress and hassle free while getting acclimated with a new area. Used their services again the following year to help with setting up and organizing my nursery right before having our baby! I highly recommend their services as the team is very professional and so helpful with so many different needs to helping you get organized.”
Katrina
Playroom | Basement | Family Home Organization • Northbrook, IL
““I love Irene and her team. They are a very punctual, professional, and reliable group of ladies. My house was in desperate need of a makeover after our daughter was born. After four years, we were finally able to reclaim our home, especially our living room and dining area.
Irene and her team helped us revamp one of the bedrooms into a playroom and the basement into an indoor active play area. I was able to concentrate better while working from home because our daughter now had dedicated spaces for learning, quiet reading, and active play instead of being all over the house.
The change reduced stress, made my daily routine easier, gave our daughter better access to the things she needs, and transformed our house into a more organized and functional space again. I would totally recommend this group to anyone!””
Lynh
Walk-in Closet | Bedroom | Bathroom Organization • Gold Coast Chicago
““I was totally stressed from being so disorganized that i knew i needed to do something In came Irene and Simply Organized to lift all the stress off my shoulders. My walk in closet, that i couldnt walk in was first. Within one day the clutter was gone The two wonderful ladies got to work and by the end of the day things were donated, thrown out and redistributed. They measured for items to buy for my bedroom and bathroom. They said that everything will have a home. They were so together. They also did some small repairs which i never expected but they are so handy. The best was setting up a hanging file for me so i can file everything away instead of having papers and documents and medical stuff all over the house.. What a relief to have folders labeled for everything . It has been a sea change for me and i am forever grateful. The whole staff is not only efficient, but the kind people who take your needs very seriously. Also, they are fun to work with I am having them back for some more help in 2024 I recommend Simply Organized without hesitation.”
Marsha
Baby Boomer Downsizing • Wicker Park Chicago
“I am very grateful to have met Irene and her talented assistant. Irene carefully listened to my time sensitive need to unpack and organize with sensitivity and resolve to get the job done. She is quite remarkable with her assessment and execution of a plan that included practical living strategies and organization while creating beauty and creativity with my cherished possessions. Irene and her colleague are a dynamic, hard working team and accomplished tasks at the speed of lightning with purpose and high skill. My home was transformed into a space I could not have imagined and this team was so thoughtful and respectful in my home. Irene bought organizational and practical items that helped me function better in my home based on my physical needs. Irene and her assistant designed each room with talent and experience; I was amazed at their teamwork and vision for my home. My closets are a dream! They have excellent communication skills and worked beautifully together understanding each household goal. They solved problems and continued to brainstorm until everything was completed to perfection! You’ll have a superior experience with Simply Organized and love having them in your home!”
Sheryl
Concierge Move Service • Lake Forest, IL
“Simply Organized are experts. Irene and her team worked efficiently to help us cull our possessions. They really know their job, showing up on time with all necessary materials and eager to work. We're a couple in our eighties, and they provided all the muscle we're lacking. They checked with us on every decision. Even during the one meltdown I had over a box gone missing (my error, it turns out), they remained calm and reassuring. They are terrific. Soon after the process began, the pieces fell together for us to sell our house. We asked the team to shift into "staging" mode, which they did smoothly. ”
J.R. | Wilmette, IL
Playroom | Kitchen Organizing • Kenilworth, IL
I LOVE Simply Organized! I can keep order once a system is set up for me, but I’m not good at creating the system. Irene has a gift of seeing chaos and creating order that is practical, attractive and sustainable. She has become like a member of the family! I highly recommend her services, and she is delightful and easygoing to have in your home. She’s seen my chaos and also helped family members. She is terrific at kitchens/pantries, playrooms, closets, storage rooms and garages. She is affordable and always worth more than I paid! Call her, you will be happy you did!!!
Eileen
Whole Home Organizing • Lake Bluff, IL
Irene has gone above and beyond, making my life so much easier as a busy Mom of 3 small children. Over the course of the year, she has organized my entire home and even garage! My husband is so happy we finally have simplified our house and have intentional places for everything. The kids love their functional toy closet and craft cabinet! And my bathroom is finally spa-like thanks to Irene’s attention to detail and clean aesthetic. I couldn’t reconnect her enough!
Cayla
White Glove Move Concierge Service • Glencoe, IL
Dear Irene, my family could not believe the changes in the house. I told them that I met messenger from most high, who with the magic twist of her arm changed the orientation of the entire house. All of them LOVED the changes and the order in the house. In addition to the extra open space in each room!!!! The organization screamed loudly!!! Irene, I am committed to keep the house in its new condition now, and able all to throw away anything that doesn’t have a purpose in the house and in my life. You gave me a precious gift that only a precious person can bestowed on others. That is what make life unique, special acts by gifted people united by higher purposes of life. Thank you.
Elie
I don’t usually write reviews, but working with Irene, the owner of SimplyOrganized was such a wonderful experience that I had to tell others about her. My garage was a big job, but she made it so easy. she came up with good solutions, worked efficiently, and was very attentive to all my needs in every little details. She finished the job with less hours than originally estimated and I cannot say enough good things about her. There are many organizers out there, but when comparing services and price, SimplyOrganized is above all of them. Irene was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her!
Darcee | Glencoe, IL
Home Organizing • Evanston, IL
I have had some experience with hiring organizers to help me with small projects. I am always grateful to have the opportunity to work with someone who loves organizing and helps me to the things I just don’t like doing sometimes. Irene helped me with numerous small projects: organizing kids bathroom, repurposing master sitting room into quiet retreat, organizing pantry, organizing family office/study room. I have several other projects I would use Irene to help me with after this!
Irene is completely professional. She knows my time is limited and she knows the ages of my kids and what each needs through each season of life because she’s a parent. She was on time, kept focused (even when I sometimes got off track), communicated easily her goals and instructions during sessions and in-between sessions. She listened to my thoughts/ideas, but was firm to keeping on task (!!!!!), what items we should definitely donate/give away, etc. Irene also did the extra step of shopping for organizers if we needed them. She used what we had but suggested better ways of using them. Irene helped me get started/accomplish things that would have taken me 10 times longer doing them myself. She is trustworthy, an excellent listener, gives suggestions, but knows when to hold back. She really loves helping people and will see to it that the goals you have will be accomplished. I would highly recommend Irene to help you with whatever project you might have.
