Your Space in Mind (Johanna Valeur)

Working with Johanna has been an enormously positive experience. She is very understanding of how clutter can develop and gently helps you make the decisions you've been putting off for years about how to get rid of it. The best thing of all though is that Johanna is also an experienced stylist which means she has great ideas for how to make the nice things I own look really good in my home, she really understands how space works, and how to create the best environment for living based on the client's own taste and style. I found Johanna through word of mouth personal recommendation and would have no hesitation in using her services again or recommending her.

Johanna is a highly professional person which we considered hugely beneficial given her involvement in our personal space ! She is quick to find and offer interesting design and practical solutions, yet also will allow proper time for you to consider what is you want to do with a space, contents of a drawer or even just a pile of rubber bands!!!! We knew nothing about decluttering before we engaged Johanna, we would now thoroughly recommend the experience and of course Johanna!!!!

Johanna was really helpful in coming up with ideas, planning and suggestions for a room. She helped me with colours and products and layout. Very much recommended.

I am so happy and relieved thanks to the work Jo has done for and with me. I have been working back to back for two whole years and my studio and my storage were cramped full of stuff. I couldn't get to most of them. it made me feel down. We worked weekly for four sessions and transformed the space. Jo came with a fresh eye and brilliant ideas for practical, tidy storage. She is unjudgmental and fun company.

I had been struggling for years to keep our small London flat clutter-free, but Jo knew exactly what to do. First, she really listened to what I had to say, so she understood why the clutter problem kept coming back, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and reluctant to even tackle it. When she looked around the rooms, she saw possibilities I had not seen, and also knew exactly where to start. So we got started! Within hours we had made great progress. Things are now in the right rooms, I know where to find them and we have a lot more space where it matters. The girls now have space for a desk in their bedroom and it feels much more airy. I was so inspired that after Jo left I immediately went to the building supplies shop for white paint and repainted the walls. The girls were delighted with the transformation and so was I. I can’t thank Jo enough for her help, and I still can’t quite understand how she does it! She has a natural gift for space planning.

Joanna spent just one afternoon in studio, and transformed it from a chaotic mess of files, cables, and music equipment into a very clear, organised & comfortable work-space. She was full of energy, easy to get on with, and hard-working; finding quick & effective solutions to organising, storing & clearing an overflow of paper-work & studio equipment. Highly Recommended.

Johanna was brilliant! She completely turned around my open-plan living room which had become a bit of a dumping ground for my kids' toys and all our...stuff. She has a really creative eye and a vision of space and how best to use it. She also spruced up some of my tired old furniture, including a mirror I was about to take to the dump which she sprayed gold (and which I now love), and I can honestly say I feel like I've moved house! I can truly recommend Johanna as a hard-working, speedy, creative person who has a great eye but is also a really good listener.
