The Composed Living Team

Elsa Elbert, Founder + CEO

I believe in the connection between our physical space and our emotional well-being. Where there is emotional turmoil there is also physical clutter, and vice versa. When our homes are overrun with clutter, it creates stress whether we are aware of it or not.

The visual distractions pull our attention away from the things we want to focus on - like quality time with your significant other, or being a really present parent for your little ones. I know from experience that if my kids are trying to tell me a story, but their belongings are strewn all around the room, my attention is split between the visual distraction and wanting to really connect with them. By creating systems in our home that are easy for everyone to maintain, we are able to stay (relatively) organized, our house stays clutter free, and we get to spend so much more of our time just being together as a family. 

The desire to help other families live well in their homes, and creating peace for people in their surroundings is how Composed Living came to be.

I see opportunity in all situations, no matter how chaotic they may appear on the outside, and it is my passion to transform those spaces into organized beauty. Simplicity emerging from chaos is an exceptional gift, and one that doesn't have to be overly costly, or environmentally harmful.

I love finding ways to repurpose or re-imagine an existing belonging, or discover an unusual and beautiful use for an everyday item. I truly look forward to helping each client, and watching them find the same joy I do, once their space - and sometimes their sanity - is refreshed and renewed!
