Usable Space

Garage, Basement & Studio Organizing

I help people turn overloaded garages, basements, studios, and storage rooms back into usable space.

What I do

Usable Space offers hands-on organizing and space recovery for people with tools, books, boxes, collections, materials, unfinished projects, and accumulated belongings.

This is not minimalist makeover work. The goal is practical: make the space easier to enter, use, sort, store, and maintain.

Good fit for

• Garages and basements
• Studios and workshops
• Storage rooms
• Tools, books, boxes, materials, and collections
• Inherited or accumulated belongings
• People who feel stuck deciding where to begin

First session

A first session focuses on one defined area. We sort, group, zone, clear access, identify what stays, and prepare donation, recycling, disposal, or storage categories.

About

Usable Space is run by Thoreau (Theo) Bakker, an artist, maker, and PhD researcher working with spatial environments. I understand collections, stored projects, books, tools, and crowded creative spaces from the inside.
