We hope your 2025 is off to a great start and your resolutions are intact. But if you’re in need of a little reset or organizational inspiration to get moving on your goals, we have just the person for you!

Meet Anna Huertas (@annahuertas_organizer). She is a Miami-based professional organizer who helps clients create a space that tells their story and understands the power of an organized home to create a simpler, less stressful life.

She said, “Organization, for me, isn’t about perfection—it’s about making life easier and giving you more time to focus on what really matters. An organized home can actually give you time back. My biggest tip would be to pay close attention to your daily routine and ask yourself if you really need all the things you have. Start any organizing project by decluttering, as it’s key to creating a functional space. When it comes to products, I always gravitate towards minimalist designs that blend seamlessly into your space and avoid creating visual clutter. The goal is to keep things simple and streamlined, so the space works for you, not against you.”

We love how she organized this breakfast corner, transforming the space into a cozy nook perfect for starting your morning off right.

"To transform this dull and messy coffee breakfast corner into a cozy and organized space, here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what I did in this project:
Clear Out the Space: Take everything out of the corner. This includes coffee machines, mugs, accessories, snacks, and any clutter. It’ll give you a clean slate to work with.

Organize the Corded Machines: Use a cable management box (I personally love this one from Yamazaki) to store the cords and cables of the coffee machines. This will eliminate the clutter caused by tangled or visible wires, giving the space a much cleaner and more streamlined look.

Use a Bread Box for breads and snacks: Utilize the bread box (I also used the Yamazaki one here — minimalist but with a lot of interior space) to store breakfast related goods. It can help keep everything organized and easily accessible, while also adding an element of style.

Create a Cozy Coffee Tray: Choose a stylish tray to display coffee essentials like mugs, spoons, sugar, and creamers. This will give the area a cohesive look.

Final Touches: Add a small candle or a decorative item to give the space a warm, welcoming touch. The key is to keep the space functional yet visually appealing, with a focus on minimalism and comfort." – @annahuertas_organizer

"For me, it’s essential to choose products that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and of high quality. Yamazaki’s products align perfectly with the minimalist look I love—less is more, and they offer stylish solutions that blend seamlessly into any space.” — Anna Huertas

Huertas is a former corporate attorney from Brazil. When she moved to the United States with her husband in 2019, she was pregnant and decided to take a break from her legal career. Her and her husband moved between California and Florida several times, giving her the opportunity to fine-tune her organizational skills with each move. Soon, she began helping friends organize their homes and turned her passion into a career.

She said, “I became a certified professional organizer, and now I’m fortunate to help people create more intentional, functional spaces that truly reflect who they are. It’s so rewarding to simplify people’s routines and help them live in homes that tell their own unique story.”

Huertas discovered Yamazaki Home while searching for products for her clients. She said, “I immediately fell in love with their minimalist and chic designs. For me, it’s essential to choose products that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and of high quality. Yamazaki’s products align perfectly with the minimalist look I love—less is more, and they offer stylish solutions that blend seamlessly into any space.”

The rolling storage cart, cable management box, and bread box are among her favorite Yamazaki Home designs. “The rolling cart is sleek, minimalist, and surprisingly spacious while still being sturdy—it’s a hard combination to find. I also love the cable management box because it hides those messy wires that can create so much visual clutter. It’s functional and has a seamless look that blends beautifully into any space. The bread box is another favorite—it’s minimalist but holds a lot and keeps everything fresh with its well-designed lid. And, of course, the storage baskets with the metal and wood details are perfect for elevating any space, whether it’s the pantry, office, or even living areas. They’re chic and functional!” Huertas said.

We love how Huertas integrates the Yamazaki Home motto, “Home, simplified.” into each of her projects.
