Our Latest Release: 📓 The Quick Wins Declutter Workbook: 90+ Detailed, Hands-On Activities to Help Busy Families Simplify Every Room 📓

About Us

Founded in 2021, Practical Spaces is the realization of a lifelong dream: helping families in Edmonton and surrounding communities declutter, organize, and reclaim their homes. As a mother-daughter team of professional organizers, we combine hands-on experience, practical systems, and a family-friendly approach to create spaces that are both functional and beautiful. From single-room refreshes to whole-home resets, life transition projects, and large spaces like basements and garages, we tailor every session to your home, your goals, and your lifestyle. Our approach is accessible, stress-free, and affordable, with no hidden fees, hands-on guidance, and thoughtful support to ensure that the systems we implement are easy to maintain long after our sessions end.

We work closely with each client, treating your belongings as though they were our own, and providing practical solutions for closets, kitchens, storage areas, home offices, and more. With a passion for decluttering and organizing grounded in real-life experience, we help families reduce stress, regain space, and enjoy homes that support their daily lives. Whether it’s gently guiding a wardrobe reset, tackling a busy basement, or implementing strategies from Amanda’s Quick Wins Declutter Workbook, our goal is to make home organization practical, approachable, and long-lasting.

and Amanda

Amanda has always had a passion for tidiness and began "working" as an amateur organizer from a young age (making her friends sort through their closets and drawers and put things away nicely). She is an avid self-study in all things organizing and has a professional background in retail stock management and financial administrative assistance.

Amanda specializes in organizing storage areas such as basements and garages, getting into the details in the business and home office, and, as a new mother herself, has a special interest in helping families tackle big changes.

Drawing inspiration from Home Edit enthusiasm, Marie Kondo thoroughness, and Martha Stewart wisdom, Amanda loves to help clients tackle clutter beyond the surface level and share fresh strategies for organizing success.

In 2025 Amanda published The Quick Wins Declutter Workbook, a detailed, room-by-room guide to decluttering the whole home.

FAQs

Should I clean or tidy up before you come?

We don't ask that our clients conduct any pre-session tidying. In fact, it can be more helpful for us to see your home as you normally keep it.

We also anticipate doing some light cleaning of shelves, bins, and other essentials in the areas in which we are working, but taking care of details such as washing floors and countertops, scrubbing sinks and dishes, and disinfecting are not within the scope of our typical work in our clients' homes.

Do I have to purchase new bins, boxes, and other products?

We feel strongly that it isn't necessary to purchase any new organizing products in order to have a tidy and well-contained space. In fact, you likely already have some of these types of items on hand and we are happy to work with what you have. Should there be a need for additional storage solutions, or you wish to create a more cohesive-looking space we can provide product suggestions from local and online vendors.

What if my budget is tight but I really need help?

A free phone consultation with us will help determine where your organizing needs and your budget can meet happily. Packages can be split into sessions spaced to suit your budget, and an organizing plan which puts an emphasis on consultation and “homework” can also be formulated.

It may help to consider the organizing of your space as an investment that has the potential to save you money in the future!

1. When you know what you have on hand, you decrease the chance that you will purchase something you already have.

2. If you can see and access food and products near expiry, you are better able use them up before letting them go to waste.

3. Limit your chances of forgetting a bill payment or losing out on a tax deduction by keeping your paperwork filed and at hand when needed.

What if I can't keep my space organized once you leave?

It is in the nature of spaces to reflect our lives… and our lives are constantly evolving! When the needs of your space change, it is time to re-evaluate, and this is a normal part of the organizing process. We can help you to get back to baseline and to adjust the flow of your space.

Many of our clients meet with us on a consistent basis and this helps us to become more familiar with their spaces, making a tidy refresh that much more efficient!

Can I be there while you are organizing?

While we may not like to admit it, we all know that life is not as simple or as perfect as a TV show. Ultimately getting organized is about improving the way your space works for you and the way you work in your space. Working closely with our clients and getting feedback as we go helps us conceptualize how your space and your life interact, resulting in more personalized organization systems. It helps when our clients are available during our sessions but we understand that this may not always be possible.

Will you make me get rid of my things?

Organizational issues arise when we find we're storing more than we can appropriately care for. We can help guide you when you're facing an emotional hurdle and recommend options for donating or selling to someone else who will continue to enjoy any items you wish to pass on. Ultimately we will always leave this decision in your hands and promise to never discard anything without your approval.
