How often have we asked ourselves, “Where’d I put that”? This is usually followed by a frustrating and sometimes fruitless search.
WIPT designs (pronounced whipped, as in getting areas of the home organized and whipped into shape) was started by Beth Hayden. Beth, “created my company to yes, help people get organized, but really to reduce stress and save time so they can spend that time doing whatever they want. So basically creating efficiency so time isn’t wasted. Time is one thing we can’t get more of, so by living efficiently time is then freed up to be spent where it’s needed.” With a background in interior design and space planning, combined with a lifelong love for efficiency and tidiness, this profession suits her perfectly.
Being a single mother at 19, while going to school and working full time, meant having to be super organized in order to get everything done.
“I needed everything to be in its place and easy to find since we didn’t have a lot of time,” said Beth.
After her daughter started college, Beth moved to Nashville and began to build her dream business. At first, organizing was just something she did on the side, but eventually word-of-mouth recommendations and glowing social media testimonials generated a high demand for her skills. So, in 2019, WIPT designs was born.
“Starting a business was very scary to me as a woman and a single mom with nothing to fall back on,” said Beth. “I built it from scratch, and I basically do all business through referrals.”
Beth prides herself on not just being able to organize people’s spaces, whether a master bedroom, small pantry, or office, but she can also assist with the design and layout of the space, as well as decorating the space in a personalized way to fit the client. She likes to get to know her clients so she can construct customized plans that fit their lifestyles. This is why she offers a free one-hour consultation.
“I specialize in organizing for the space, but also for the person,” said Beth. “I use realistic solutions that fit the client, making it easier for them to stay organized so they can use their time more efficiently and if they are in need, I offer a maintenance plan where I can come back weekly, monthly, quarterly, or whatever the need to keep it all WIPT into shape.”
When she arrives at a client’s home, she takes pictures and measurements of the room or space to be organized. Then, if there’s a budget or need to buy bins and other items, she’ll go on Amazon and make a list of things to order. Once those items arrive, she’ll be ready to get started.
Being organized, she said, is one of the biggest natural stress relievers. Plus, being organized saves time as well as money, since people can see what they have and avoid buying duplicates.
Most people want to be organized, but they’re afraid it’s going to take too much time or they don’t know where to start. But, once a space is organized, it’s much easier to keep up.
One of Beth’s favorite quotes is by Benjamin Franklin, which states, “Every minute spent organizing is an hour earned.”

Tip 1
Clear bins are the most efficient containers because you can see what’s inside. To make them pretty, put nice labels on them. Or, to save money, use shoeboxes spray painted in your choice of colors.
Tip 2
In the pantry, always place the most used items in the “prime real estate” sections, which are the easiest spots to access. If you’re a big breakfast family, put your cereals there. Also, group items like pasta and pasta sauce together.
Tip 3
Since most people spend so much time doing laundry, make the laundry room an inviting place. Put detergent and pods in pretty jars (out of reach of children), buy a pretty laundry basket, and add signs or pictures.
Tip 4
Piles are a guarantee of disorganization. If you have to have stacks of clothing, use pocket folding. This tucks pieces in so they don’t become unfolded. Spending time refolding is a time waster. This type of folding also allows travelers to pack and unpack easily.

Testimonial:
"We moved into a beautiful 2-story home in Nashville just a short time ago and after some initial unpacking we quickly realized that getting our things organized in this home would be a huge challenge.
We initially met Beth Hayden when our realtor suggested using a professional organization service and highly recommended Beth’s company: WIPT Designs.
Beth came into our home like a ray of sunshine with oceans of positive energy, sincere kindness, and unexpected support. We consulted with Beth regarding our needs in the pantry and she immediately went to work purging unnecessary items and categorizing what remained. She worked quickly and efficiently and had the pantry organized and sparkling within a very short time; we couldn’t believe the creative functionality that was to be the final result.
Shortly after this we showed Beth other problem areas in the home and were astonished with her intuitive solutions; as they were practical yet elegant at the same time.
We have used Beth’s WIPT design services to assist with all areas of our home including organization, design, measurements, ordering furniture, buildout drawings and so much more.
She is a kind, thoughtful, caring person; all of our questions were always given her earnest attention. The organization and design Beth brought to our home has completely changed our lives forever.
Her tips and lessons provided to our family have made it possible for all of us to maintain this efficient WIPT way of living and has reduced our stress levels in great measures. Thank you so much Beth!'
