'It's not just about making a home look beautiful': Two friends set up business to help declutter spaces
Two childhood friends have turned their shared interest in organising spaces into a business, helping Singapore residents declutter homes and make better use of their living spaces, especially within the Malay/Muslim community.Humairah Junid and Nurussakinah Yahya, both 33, co-founded The Space Edit in February this year and have helped organise about 60 homes, Berita Harian (BH) reported on Wednesday (Oct 28).Their work has given them first-hand insight into the challenges of decluttering.The pair experienced this themselves when they helped a woman in her 70s tidy and reorganise her room, BH reported.Rather than urging her to discard belongings accumulated over decades, the pair suggested donating items she no longer needed."This is one of the approaches we use to help clients like her become more open to letting go of items they no longer need," BH quoted Nurussakinah as saying.The company offers home-organising and space-management services as an alternative to conventional interior design, focusing on reducing clutter and making existing spaces more functional.
