Order Calm Beauty - About Us

Experienced and Creative Home Organization Strategies

Order Calm Beauty has fifteen years of experience in residential organizing. We work with you to create a nurturing, peaceful and well thought out environment.

Our goal is to create efficient organizing strategies that are also aesthetically pleasing. We also help to set up routines that make home life run more smoothly. Whether organizing, disposing of items, making space for children, down sizing, preparing to sell or moving, we can help make the process as efficient and enjoyable as possible.

We are experts at creating serene spaces, helping you let things go, finding room that you didn't know that you had and making everyday routines special.

We Pay Close Attention to Detail

We are detail obsessed (in a good way)! We care deeply about helping to make your environment a happier, more productive and more pleasing space. Our goal is for you to smile when you walk through the door, feel ready to face the day when opening your closet and be able to locate items with ease in your cabinets and drawers.

Our work ranges from organzing entire homes to organizing closets – and anything in between. Even small changes can create a big impact. We can help you to create space to host a dinner party, start a new hobby or unwind in a serene bedroom. From closets to kitchens, foyers to mudrooms, and medicine cabinets to home offices, we can help simplify. We can also help you organize children's toys and display their artwork (tastefully) and turn treasured family collections into part of your design.

We are happy to work with what you have, as well as to recommend organizing supplies, furniture, bedding and built in solutions.

Testimonials

"Deborah changed my life with her organizational skills. She was very professional and went above and beyond for me and my teenage daughter."

Jennifer B., Consultant

CLOSET ORGANIZATION

“I seriously can’t thank you enough! I was blown away by what you accomplished with my closets yesterday! You are such a lovely person. You clearly have a gift for what you do.

My husband was speechless when he saw the closets!! Getting dressed this morning was a delight as my closets brought me such joy! Everyone needs a Deborah to sweep in a do “magic” like you did. A million thanks!”

Jodie, F.

"OMG!!! Today was so amazing! You did such a wonderful job and just loved being with you….as always. [My daughter] wants her closet done asap."

J.B., Author

CREATING SERENITY IN A STUDIO

"I moved to New York City from the DC suburbs. It was quite an adjustment coming from a house to a studio apartment. Figuring out what I needed, and how to arrange it, was by far the biggest challenge.

Fortunately, I found Deborah. She worked with me over several months. After the first meeting, I found myself saying what a great decision it was to hire her. I was so confident in her, I really didn't worry or stress about it from that point on; I just simply followed Deborah's suggestions. She was nothing but positive and full of great solutions.

When all was finished I felt a little sad that we would not have any more sessions because she really left me feeling empowered with a can-do attitude. Now I know where everything is and guests rave about how nice my place looks!"

Trent B., Statistician

MAKING IT FUN

Deborah is an organizing DIVA!!! Her passion for organizing runeth over . . . . Her enthusiasm makes the organizational process almost fun. Watch out or you may catch her infectious motivation for organizing."

Debbie G., University Trustee

APARTMENT REDESIGN

"I needed to retrofit my apartment so that it would be functional and comfortable for my boyfriend and his two teenage daughters, while maintaining my design standards."

"Deborah Muro was an absolute godsend. She is talented, lovely to work with, and made the process unbelievably easy. She immediately 'got' my tastes, has an incredible eye for detail, and provided a wealth of 'spot on' space and furniture options. I could not recommend her more highly."

Amy G., Ph.D.

CHILDREN'S SPACES

"Deborah has applied her organizational genius to transitioning our son's bedroom at every stage, most recently from little boy to teen. She is so insightful, adept and fast, always finding the simplest, smartest solutions to the most vexing problems."

"For every aspect -- spatial organization, storage, display, furniture, accessories, clothing and design -- she has been an absolute godsend. And her gracious personality makes this potentially arduous process a pleasure."

"The personal attention that I received was truly off the charts! Very unique, strategic, clever and resourceful. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

Sabrina P., Executive Director, National Arts Organization

"I was telling some of my staff today about your absolutely brilliant ways to display children's art .... I think you may want to write a book about that!"

Miriam B., World Bank

SUPPORTIVE SOLUTIONS

"Deborah was like finding our own personal Mary Poppins. She had the most refined, delicate, patient and successful approach to my life¹s greatest stress. Deborah is literally the zen master of the art of organizing."

"I must confess I am hoarder and come from a long line of “collectors.” All of this is very personal and it takes a certain kind of person who you can welcome into your private world of accumulated things. I think I came with a bigger issue than most, because my husband is a hoarder too. Neither of us felt comfortable in parting from our acquisitions or allowing a third party to determine how our mess was to be organized."

"She came to my home and, frankly, changed my life. She not only organized my closets, kitchen, drawers, etc., she taught me unforgettable lessons about how to stay organized and streamlined. She was even able to get my husband to agree to go into his "man cave" after he saw the wonders she was able to perform."

"Deborah understands life and people and thus how things become clutter and how clutter becomes an obstacle to success.

On a scale from one to ten, I would without hesitation give her a 10 for her magnificent act of and philosophy of organizing."

Karen B., Real Estate Developer and Lawyer

"Deborah was skilled at communication, answered my calls quickly and did great work. She was very responsive and gentle, but firm. She is willing to work with you and takes into consideration how you feel. She makes organizing easy and comes prepared."

Jennifer K., Lawyer

ORGANIZING A FAMILY APARTMENT

"After years of working and raising children in a NYC apartment, our space was ready for a makeover. Enter Deborah: She enthusiastically took on the task and set out to declutter, reorganize and turn our home into a more peaceful place."

"Not only did she comb through and situate all of the items in our bathroom, but she also arranged and stored them in a way that made sense for me and my husband. "

"After editing my closet, Deborah worked with me to figure out which items to let go of and which to resell. She even helped me find the right resale site on which to resell them."

"Additionally, Deborah found treasured objects in the house and somehow found a way to infuse new life into them by arranging them differently."

"Most of all, Deborah was efficient, productive and respectful — she knew how to make the dreaded task of sifting through “stuff” into something freeing and fun. "

"I will recommend Deborah to all of my friends who want to simplify and beautify their lives!"

Susan G., Journalist and Producer

WORKING TOGETHER OVER TIME TO CREATE A PEACEFUL, EFFICIENT HOME

"Deborah is an organizing guru who makes things functional & stylish! And she is such a kind & generous person… Thank you so much for all of your help and support... I am truly blessed to have you in my corner… Again, cannot say it enough thank you thank you thank you!!"

M. F., Nurse

WITHSTANDING THE TEST OF TIME

“I had the pleasure of retaining the services of Deborah for one month, during which time she organized my house and provided my family with a workable system of filing and storing our possessions."

"Her system is simple, logical and effective. [It] is easy and fun, and it has withstood the test of time in our house . . . . . Deborah’s system has been a valuable addition to our home life. It has allowed us to accomplish tasks in an organized and pleasant way and preserve time for leisure activities.”

Dr. Mitchell F.

USING WHAT YOU HAVE

"I am completely blown away! I was eager to replace some furniture and revamp my tired family room. After spending months "window shopping" online (with very little to show for it) I decided to reach out to Deborah for guidance. "

"To my amazement, in only a couple of hours, Deborah managed to completely transform the room -- without buying a single piece of furniture! She immediately saw ways to rearrange my existing furniture and artwork to create an entirely new space. When we were done, I was stunned. All of her solutions seemed so obvious---how had I not seen it before? I don't know why I was surprised--she performed the same miracle in my dining room just a few years earlier. "

"Deborah is an absolute joy to work with--she genuinely loves what she does, has an incredible eye for detail, and is completely non-judgmental. I cannot recommend her highly enough! "

Wendy S., Composer

BRINGING NEW LIFE TO OLD SPACES

"Many thanks for working your magic on our living room and dining room. With just some rearranging of our furniture, artwork and accessories, that involved no additional purchases on our part, you were able to bring new life and light into those spaces. They are so much more vibrant and inviting now that you have lent your eye to this project! We hope that you will tackle our family room next!"

R. L., Realtor

CREATING A PLAN FOR MOVING FORWARD

"Deborah is a pleasure to work with, has a great eye, helpful opinions and a disarming style. I would highly recommend her services to anyone desiring to improve his or her living or working environment."

"I was looking to keep my existing furniture and decorations, but improve the layout, organization and overall look and feel of the apartment. Deborah was happy to work with my current materials . . . . "

"After just a few hours, the apartment was transformed into a much more sensible, ascetically pleasing and organized living space. I was amazed at the results she was able to attain by making relatively small changes. Her work really made a tremendous impact . . . "

"Before leaving, Deborah provided me with an action plan that I have been dutifully (and happily) following. I can’t wait to show her my progress at her scheduled follow up visit!"

Jay M., Lawyer
