How to organise your home with The Home Edit.
Our favourite home organisers Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin are back for The Home Edit season 2 on Netflix. The show sees the organising experts overhaul homes by tidying to the extreme. In season 1 the team of organisers help tidy celebrity homes such as Reese Witherspoon, Khloe Kardashian and Eva Longoria. Season 2 of The Home Edit has just landed on Netflix and will feature Drew Barrymore, Chris Pratt and Lauren Conrad.
Clea and Joanna have some amazing tips to help you with your home and they are famous for their rainbow colour coordination techniques. “We see the world in three ways: Black, white, and ROYGBIV. For those who aren’t familiar with this very important acronym, ROYGBIV stands for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet—aka the rainbow“
They explain “This is partially a design decision because things in rainbow order are pleasing to the eye, but even more importantly, it creates a visual flow that naturally clicks with the brain.” You can see examples of this on The Home Edit Instagram. Here’s how you can learn how to organise your home in The Home Edit way.
