Intention in every detail.
More room for what matters.

At The Neat Nest, we believe organization is far more than putting items into bins or adding pretty labels. We design deeply intentional, fully considered systems that transform the way you live in your home—systems that anticipate your needs, honor your routines, and support your family’s daily rhythm.

Every project begins with understanding you. How you move through your space. How your family interacts in each room. How one area of your home impacts another. We analyze the full ecosystem of your home and create solutions where no detail is overlooked and no stone is left unturned. Function is the foundation of every project. The result? Systems that feel effortless because they’re built with purpose— and yes, they happen to be beautiful as well! 

We are organizational strategists, project managers, and design partners. Our work extends far beyond what most organizing companies offer. We oversee and manage the projects that shape how your home functions—always through an organizational lens.

Project Management

From vision to completion—every detail, handled with care.

If you’ve been wanting to tackle a project but aren’t sure where to begin, we’re here to lead the way. From start to finish, we manage every detail so you don’t have to.

Whether it’s new carpet, a fresh coat of paint, door replacements, electrical work, or custom closets, we oversee it all with precision. Our trusted network of fully vetted, skilled subcontractors are coordinated by us—ensuring timelines are met, communication is clear, and every element is executed seamlessly.

No project is too big or too small. Every detail receives the same thoughtful attention and organizational oversight The Neat Nest is known for.

Home Organization

Sustainable systems that bring calm, clarity, and ease to everyday life.

Between family life, work, and daily responsibilities, your home can quickly become overwhelming. We’re here to help you reclaim your space—without judgment, without pressure. We create simple, sustainable systems that support your routines and make staying organized easier for the long term. Our approach is rooted in empathy and practicality, ensuring every decision serves a purpose.

Office and Small Business

Workspaces that support clarity, efficiency, and productivity.

A disorganized workplace drains energy and time. We help businesses streamline their spaces by sorting paperwork, organizing supplies and inventory, clarifying workflows, and creating systems that actually match how you work. The result? More time to focus on what you do best.

Move In Move Out

A seamless transition into your next chapter.

Moving is overwhelming—we make it effortless. We start with a pre-move purge, helping you let go of items that no longer serve you. We thoughtfully donate usable pieces on your behalf, lightening both your load and your moving costs.

In your new home, we unpack with intention—creating functional, tailored organization systems from day one. Every drawer, shelf, and cabinet is set up to support your daily rhythms, so you feel at home immediately.

Design Services

Grounded, beautiful design—whether we’re working with a blank canvas or thoughtfully incorporating pieces you already love. 

Every home has a natural rhythm, and our approach leans into that. While some clients come to us for a full transformation—complete with space planning, floorplans, and collaborative design boards—others simply need a thoughtful refresh. When it feels right, we blend your existing elements with new textures, materials, and curated pieces that bring warmth and balance. And when a space needs to be built from scratch, we guide the entire process with intention and creativity. From concept creation to organic, lived-in refinements, we craft spaces that feel connected, harmonious, and deeply aligned with the way you move through your home.

Custom Millwork

Storage designed for the way you live.

Collaborate with our in-house designers to create custom closets or built-in cabinetry that maximize your home’s underutilized spaces. From closets and mudrooms to living room built-ins, we design solutions where functionality leads the way.

We partner with a highly skilled, licensed, and insured carpenter who brings these designs to life with precision. Custom millwork becomes both attainable and transformational, enhancing your home’s efficiency and aesthetic.

Generational Decluttering

Compassionate support with real, hands-on follow-through.

Sorting through a lifetime of belongings can feel overwhelming, emotional, and sometimes impossible to tackle alone. We’re here to support you with sensitivity and steadiness—while also rolling up our sleeves and doing the actual work.

Together, we help you understand what to keep, what to release, and how to honor the stories attached to each piece. Once decisions are made, we take care of everything—from organizing and packing to coordinating every next step.

This isn’t just guidance. It’s thoughtful, respectful action during a deeply personal moment in life.

Neat and Repeat

Maintenance support for long-term order.

Once your home or space is organized, we return on a recurring basis to reset systems, refresh high-use areas, rotate seasonal items, and ensure your home continues to function at its best. A perfect choice for busy families, frequent travelers, or anyone who simply wants to maintain a consistently calm, orderly home.  

Donation Management

We believe in the power of giving new life to cherished items and reducing landfill waste. Throughout our decluttering process, we work with you to identify items that no longer serve you and your home. We then manage all donation logistics and drop-offs on your behalf, ensuring the entire process is seamless and stress-free for you.

Storage Unit Organization

In NYC, every square foot counts.

Storage units can easily become cluttered, forgotten, or inaccessible. We transform them into streamlined, functional spaces that work for you.
We organize keepsakes, seasonal items, overflow storage, and anything else you need to tuck away—ensuring you can easily find what you need when you need it.

  • Meryl and her team were incredible. They unpacked the entire apartment after our move. We are a family of 6 (plus a dog) so it was no small task. In no time the boxes and bubble wrap were gone and the labels and organized systems were in place. We were able to spend our first night there as if we had always lived there, all tidy and neat. They turned our apartment into a home and I could not be more grateful.

  • I cannot recommend The Neat Nest highly enough! Meryl and her team have helped us with multiple large projects, including decluttering and organizing our previous home when we prepared to list it and helping us unpack and set up our new home. Each time, I have been amazed by the results. Meryl is purposeful and creative in her use of each space and puts in place solutions that we can maintain on a daily basis. She also could not be easier to work with. It was a little stressful to let someone see how disorganized and cluttered I felt at the outset, but Meryl was always supportive and made me feel that even large projects were achievable without stress. I can honestly say that working with Meryl was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to help us get the most out of our home!

  • I cannot recommend Meryl and her team highly enough. I’ve worked with Meryl repeatedly over the last 3 years, and she continues to be an absolute lifesaver. She initially helped me pack and purge before moving out of my old home. She then seamlessly transitioned to helping me settle into my new one, somehow making the main living areas completely ready to host Christmas just three days after my move. She has since organized my basement twice, helped me build a mudroom, and made sense of closets in every room of our home. Each time, she approached the job with efficiency, clarity, and an incredible ability to create systems that actually work for our family. Meryl is trustworthy, efficient, and deeply respectful of my comfort zone. She listens closely, understands what matters most, and always offers the most logical, thoughtful, and organized solutions. Her work has brought order, calm, and sanity to our home, and I’m so grateful for her talent and care. Her team is equally fabulous, professional, warm, and just as committed to making your home function beautifully. And as a funny aside: my husband initially complained that I hired an organizer… but now insists it was the best money we spent during our move. Anytime we hit a new organizational challenge, he’s the first to say, “Call Meryl.” If you’re looking for someone who is not only exceptional at what she does but also an absolute pleasure to work with, Meryl is it.

  • I recommend the Neat Nest to everyone I know. Not only did they organize our entire home, they made the space so much more livable and joyful. They worked quickly and thoughtfully and we absolutely adored everyone on the team. They approach their work with so much care and they left us with lasting organizational tips and systems that we’ve carried on to this day. More than a year after they organized our home, it’s still looking amazing. They’re just the best!

    Shawn - Brooklyn, NY 

  • Meryl and her team are experts at organizing and creating systems. They helped our family achieve goals and helped to push me to lighten my physical and mental load - clearing the way for what I have and what’s to come. Can’t imagine our home without her systems in place. I am so grateful we got to work with her!!!

    Erica - New York, New York 

  • Working with Meryl and her team has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our home. Meryl is truly a genius when it comes to organizing. She and her team bring not only their skill but also a remarkable sense of warmth, love, and genuine care into the families they work with. You feel it in the way they listen, the way they plan, and the way they transform. They carry years of experience and hard-earned lessons, and it shows. They don’t just organize your house — they understand how you live, what you need, and how to create a flow that makes daily life feel lighter and far more efficient. After their work, our house finally feels like a home. Everything has a place, everything makes sense, and everything is easy. We’ve even been getting compliments from friends and family — a fun bonus I wasn’t expecting. If you’re considering bringing in organizers, I can’t recommend Meryl and her team enough.

  • Meryl and her team went above and beyond any expectations we could have hoped for our playroom and mud room. Starting with an empty box Meryl created the most beautiful, warm, joyful playroom for our kids. She created a room and systems where my 4 & 5 year old can independently play… and clean up! She also was conscious of our budget and helped us think through how this space can evolve as our kids grow and our family’s needs evolve. Highly recommend the Neat Nest! Nicole Tarrytown, New York
