About Urban Apartment Organised
UrbanApartmentOrganised.com is a practical guide to making small apartments work better — better organised, calmer, and easier to live in without sacrificing style.
Meet Sophia Laurent
Sophia Laurent has spent the better part of a decade living in small apartments across three European cities — a 38m² studio in Lyon, a one-bedroom in Amsterdam, and her current flat in London, which she shares with too many books and exactly the right number of plants.
She is not a professional organiser or an interior designer. She is someone who became genuinely obsessed with small-space systems after running out of wardrobe space for the third time in five years and deciding that the problem was solvable with the right approach rather than a bigger flat.
Over time, that obsession became a methodology — zone-based storage, seasonal rotation, multi-function furniture, and the discipline of assigning every item a specific home. She has tested hundreds of storage products, from budget Amazon finds to premium closet systems, and written about what actually works in real apartments rather than styled photoshoots.
Her product recommendations are based on hands-on use, reader feedback, and a straightforward test: does it solve one real problem, fit a small space, and hold up after six months of daily use? If not, it doesn’t make the list.
When she’s not reorganising something that didn’t need reorganising, she writes travel guides for the destinations she visits between moving flats.
