Kate Edmondson is the founder of Home Edited, a professional home organisation service helping clients across Kent, Sussex and South East London create calm, organised homes through home detox, organisation, unpacking and home set-up services.
In this blog, Kate shares her top tips on how to bring order and calm to your home, and explains how she works with Rencraft clients to bridge the gap between beautiful design and everyday living.

The kitchen has long been considered the heart of the home, but increasingly it has become something else too: a workspace, a homework station, a social hub, a charging point, and somewhere amongst all of that, a place to cook. It’s no surprise, then, that even the most beautifully designed kitchens can begin to struggle to keep up with the demands of everyday life.
As a professional organiser and founder of Home Edited, I’m often invited into homes at the point where people feel frustrated by their space and Home Edited was created from a simple belief: that outer order contributes to inner calm.
We work with busy families and professionals to create organised, functional homes that support daily life, whether that’s preparing a property for sale, unpacking after a move or transforming spaces that have become difficult to manage. Interestingly, it’s rarely a lack of storage that causes frustration. More often, it’s because the storage isn’t working in harmony with how people actually live, alongside the overwhelm that can build when our belongings begin to outgrow the spaces designed to contain them. This is where thoughtful design makes all the difference.

Having worked alongside several Rencraft projects, one of the things I admire most is the consideration given to how a space functions as well as how it looks. Whether it’s a bespoke kitchen, pantry, utility room, boot room, dressing room or fitted storage elsewhere in the home, their joinery is designed around the needs of the people using it. Deep drawers where they’re needed, clever internal solutions and layouts tailored to the routines of the household create spaces that feel intuitive and easy to use.
When I work with clients following a renovation or installation, my role is often to help bridge the gap between beautiful design and daily living. Together, we establish practical systems that make the most of the storage already available, creating designated homes for everything from breakfast essentials and lunchbox supplies to seasonal clothing, household paperwork and family belongings.

The goal isn’t perfection. In fact, perfection rarely survives family life. Instead, it’s about creating spaces that support the rhythms of the household. Rooms where everyone knows where things belong. Where surfaces stay clearer because storage is easier to use. Where putting things away requires less effort than leaving them out. The most successful spaces aren’t necessarily the ones that look immaculate in a photograph. They’re the ones that continue to function beautifully months and years later, adapting as families grow and routines change.
At Home Edited, we focus on creating sustainable systems tailored to the people living in the home. Whether we’re organising a newly installed pantry, designing systems for a utility room or helping a family settle into bespoke fitted storage throughout their home, our aim is always the same: to make organisation feel effortless to maintain, not another task on an already busy to-do list.
Good design creates the framework and thoughtful organisation brings it to life. When the two come together, the result is something far more valuable than a tidy home: a home that feels calmer, lighter and easier to live in.
