As someone who’s been striving for minimalism, the book offers some fresh perspectives and practical tips. I am a fan of all organizing books and this is a good one to add to my collection.
Chloe Anders –
The Real Spaces book is wonderful. Really helping our family get organized and establish new habits. We’ve made a game out of the checkboxes on the pages of the book and have every person in our family doing one checkbox from this book on Saturdays or whenever we have time. I love how the book is set up to do small projects. It has been very fun for our family!

I never knew a book could start to bring so much peace into my chaotic life! The decluttering tips and organizing processes are easy to complete and surprisingly enjoyable. My home feels a little less of a constant mess. I have only had the book for a week, but am impressed with the way it approaches decluttering and organizing. You can open to a page and acomplish a task without paragraphs of reading or planning. Highly recommend for any overwhelmed moms out there!
Natalie Walker –
This book excels as a coffee table piece and I’ve recommended it to many people.
Isabella Greenier –
Real Spaces gives a perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. It covers a wide range of spaces to organize in your home and breaks everything down to be simple to get started. Most books don’t get you off the couch and into the process. This one does!!!!! Highly recommend for anyone that wants to live a more organized life.
Susan Stewart –
Organization is so much more than just making a space look pretty. At its core and its best, it helps make our lives run more peacefully (and the pleasant aesthetic is an added bonus). This book provides helpful insights and easy to use tips for creating both the function and beauty of a well organized home. And…the pictures are fantastic, too!

This is a home organization book that offers real ideas! My closet is looking better every day as I’ve removed at least 20 things from it in just a few days. Decisions and letting go is becoming easier and easier with decluttering tips from the book and I’m more motivated than ever to keep going with my daughter’s room and more of our home.
Ella Rhodes –
This book is perfect for someone just starting out with home organization or someone whose house is very organized. It is written in a way that can help anyone declutter and further organize their home.
Hannah B. –
This is an incredible resource for a tidy and clutter-free home!!!!!!!!!!!! I am enjoying it so much! It is my new favorite thing to do when my kids nap in the afternoon. The declutter tips are easy and quick which is good because my babies only nap 45 minutes some days. I started a habit of removing one thing I can donate out of my closet every day and it has actually become fun.
Rachel Sanders –
If you’re struggling with home organization, this book has so many achievable projects. It helps makes organization feel attainable.
Leila Hassan –
Elegant and Informative! This coffee table book is so fun visually. Each page has stunning photographs and clear, actionable tips. It’s both a coffee table centerpiece and something I can apply as an already organized person. The cover is textured and so pretty!!
Maya Kim –
I am an interior designer of 17 years. This is a beautiful, must-have book! This home organizing book is a true gem 🙂
Ariana Nguyen –
If you’re serious about decluttering and do not know where to start, try this book! I have a lot more room in my closet and dresser and my small studio is starting to feel better. I am not very good at decluttering and it is hard for me but am getting rid of the things I really don’t need slowly with some of the great questions I have read it this book to ask myself. If I haven’t used it in a year I learned I probably never will so I can apply that to many things. Just some examples I realized I do not need two bathroom scales and no longer have 8 winter coats because of the 3 I really wear I won’t even miss the others!!!
Nina Rodriguez –
I sat on my couch all day Saturday and read through the whole book when it arrived! The beautiful photos are so fun to look through. People will truly be inspired to make changes in their own home. A lot of organizing books seem like they aren’t really for real homes (who has rainbow food??) and this one is on point to really help people declutter their home and organize the different areas that they want to. The book combines spaces that are pretty, organized, and functional.
Grace Mitchell –
I ordered this book to set out as a decorative piece. The textured cover is so pretty. My sister borrowed in last weekend and we did some projects in her house. It really motivated her to do small projects. I feel like we accomplished a lot in a few hours with this book! If you love to organize, it is really fun and if you hate it, you’ll probably be motivated!
Carlos Jenko –
Home is more organized and I’ve become more productive at work. Recommended the book to anyone looking to improve or shift their focus. Carlos
Ava Brooks –
I’ve organized our changing table and closet and this week I’m focusing on under the sink and some of my kitchen drawers. The book’s advice on decluttering and creating efficient storage solutions is really simple. I love how it emphasizes a personalized approach to organization, helping me find solutions that work best for my specific needs and space. The photos are truly inspiring, and I’m excited to see how these new strategies will improve the rest of my home. It has really made a noticeable difference in my everyday life and I’m hoping maybe they will write a second book because its really rewarding to transform these spaces on my own along with the books directions.

Is your mom thriving?! And organized 😅 My mother’s treasured museum pieces from the 1900s and her mid century modern clothes from the 1950s and 60s have been donated for the first time in their life. She loves your book.
Megan D. –
I’ve used many organization books, but this one stands out. The structure is excellent, and the checkbox system keeps me organized and focused. It is highly effective to help me be even more organized.

RealSpaces is addictingly fun. It’s an inspirational book that helps you make actual steps forward in your home!
Samantha Cole –
This book is really helpful! It might be one of the few organizing books that makes me feel like I’m making progress. It is helping me declutter my home and teaching me concepts that I’ll be able to apply long term.
Ryan K –
I’ve really enjoyed this book! It’s well organized and thorough, with lots of practical examples. By looking through the advice and examples provided throughout, my kids have gotten into organizing, too! The book gives us lots of inspiration for projects to tackle together.
Katie Moore –
Real Spaces is everything I’ve been looking for!! I struggle a lot with organizing my house and figuring out ways to keep my house organized… All of my research so far has brought me to picture-perfect guides that are just unrealistic for my busy life. Other books have made it seem like I need a second mortgage to buy out the container store. Real Spaces is just as it sounds – real. The ideas and strategies it lays out have helped me organize and maintain my house without feeling like I need to buy tons of new things. I don’t feel like keeping my space organized is so unattainable now! 10/10 recommend. An added bonus is that the physical book is gorgeous too!
Sophia Martinez –
With two young kids and a hectic schedule, our home can always use something to lift the chaos. This book offers solutions that fit perfectly into our busy lives. Our kids now go on a hunt before dinner for 5 things to take back to their room or playroom. That’s 20 things put away on a daily basis. I appreciated the book’s practical advice, especially the family-friendly organizing strategies. It’s helped us create a more organized and picked up environment, and we’ve even involved the kids in the process, making it a fun family activity. If you’re juggling family life and disorganization, this book is a must-have!
Robert G –
Absolutely outstanding. Energetic, well-organized, well-written. Practical advice. Easy decluttering. Uncanny that they would know what I needed before I did.
Anne Ahmann –
Not only is this a great diy organizing book, it is a beautiful book! I have mine displayed on my coffee table 🙂
Melanie Cespedes –
Love this book! I love giving it as a gift to my clients. It’s a huge hit!
Deb Baber –
Such an awesome book that helps with ordinary organizational tips to declutter many different areas of your home! It has been an inspiration to get started on some of those “difficult” areas that you don’t know where to start. The pictures are a tremendous help to visually implement Alissa’s suggestions!
The book is very well organized and beautiful. Thank you to Alissa who obviously put in many hours to create a book that shares her passion and creative ideas with her readers!
Savannah Emmett –
This book has transformed how I approach organizing. I’m thrilled with the results. The check off way the book is written is exactly what I needed. Huge organizing concepts can be hard to apply in organization books, but this book is so well thought out to be useful to the average person. It tells you an exact direction on what to do.
Morgan Jessero –
I found so many things to declutter to create more space in our house! I love my coat closet and find myself opening drawers and closets to appreciate them. Is that weird? You’ll might just find yourself proud of the spaces you decluttered and organized. Real Spaces is a book everyone needs!! This was a good purchase!!
Olivia Thompson –
The organization tips are easy to implement and the photos will inspire you to tackle your own home projects. I know the author and have used them in my home so buying the book was a no brainer. I think it’s great that they wrote a book to share their wealth of knowledge with more people and think a lot of people will benefit from the way the book was written. It makes it easy and fun to start decluttering!
Jennifer Markish –
The content in here is different than most organizing books!!! I love it! There are actual checkboxes and projects so you can accomplish something in your house by using it. It helps you declutter by telling you ideas on exactly what you could go do. I threw out my kids broken crayons and dried out markers today and removed 3 dresses from my closet that I never choose to wear because I like others better this week. It feels great!
Amanda K –
This organization book is a perfect coffee table addition. It’s visually appealing and has insightful advice for organization.

Alissa’s practical tips and realistic approach make getting your home in order feel totally doable. From decluttering to creating functional storage solutions, this book covers it all.
