Find answers to common questions about our intensive program on organizing your home space with sustainable practices.

This intensive program focuses on practical methods for organizing your home using sustainable principles. You'll learn specific techniques for decluttering each room, selecting storage solutions made from natural materials, and creating systems that reduce waste. The curriculum includes modules on kitchen organization with reusable containers, closet management using natural fiber organizers, bathroom setup with plastic-free alternatives, and living space arrangement that maximizes natural light and air circulation.

Each session provides step-by-step guidance you can implement immediately. We cover material selection, space planning, and maintenance routines that align with sustainable living. By the end, you'll have a complete framework for maintaining an organized, environmentally conscious home.

The program runs for 4 weeks with 3 live sessions per week, each lasting 90 minutes. Sessions are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings from 19:00 to 20:30 İstanbul time to accommodate working professionals. Additionally, you should plan for 2-3 hours per week to complete practical assignments in your own home.

All sessions are recorded and available for 6 months after completion, so if you miss a live session, you can watch it later. The total time commitment is approximately 6-7 hours per week for four weeks. Many participants find they can implement changes gradually, working on one room at a time while continuing with their regular schedule.

No expensive purchases are required. The program emphasizes working with what you already have and finding sustainable alternatives that fit your budget. We provide a comprehensive resource list of suppliers in İstanbul and other Turkish cities where you can find bamboo organizers, cotton storage bags, glass containers, and natural fiber baskets at reasonable prices.

Most participants spend between 500-1,500 TL on organizational items throughout the program, but this is optional and spread over time. We teach you how to repurpose existing items, create DIY solutions from recycled materials, and prioritize purchases based on your specific needs. The focus is on smart organization, not expensive products.

This program is specifically designed to work for any living space, from studio apartments to multi-room houses. In fact, many techniques are particularly effective in smaller spaces where efficient organization makes the biggest difference. We address the unique challenges of compact living, including vertical storage solutions, multi-functional furniture arrangement, and maximizing limited closet space.

Case studies include examples from typical İstanbul apartments ranging from 45 to 150 square meters. You'll learn how to assess your specific space constraints and apply principles that work for your situation. Small space dwellers often see the most dramatic improvements because every organizational change has immediate impact on daily life.

Registration closes 3 days before the program start date to allow time for participant onboarding and material distribution. After the deadline, you'll need to wait for the next session, which typically begins 8-10 weeks later. We limit each group to 25 participants to ensure personalized attention and meaningful interaction during live sessions.

Current enrollment for the March session closes on March 15th, with the program starting March 18th. If you miss this deadline, the next available session begins in late May. Early registration also provides access to our preparation materials and community forum two weeks before the official start date, giving you a head start on the organizational process.

Yes, program graduates receive 3 months of follow-up support through our private online community. This includes monthly group check-in sessions, access to our resource library with updated guides and supplier recommendations, and the ability to ask questions via our support forum. Many participants find this continued connection helpful as they encounter new organizational challenges or seasonal changes in their homes.

You'll also receive quarterly newsletters with tips for maintaining your systems, information about new sustainable products available in Turkey, and invitations to alumni workshops. After the 3-month support period, you can choose to join our annual membership program for 400 TL per year, which provides ongoing access to all resources and community events.

Unlike generic content, this program provides personalized guidance for your specific situation. During live sessions, you can ask questions about your unique challenges, receive feedback on your progress photos, and learn from other participants facing similar issues. Our instructors have 8+ years of experience in sustainable home organization and understand the specific context of living in Turkey, including local product availability, climate considerations, and cultural factors.

The structured format with deadlines and accountability helps you actually complete the organizational process rather than just consuming information. You'll work through each area of your home systematically with expert support, rather than feeling overwhelmed by trying to figure everything out alone. Participants report that the combination of expert instruction, peer support, and structured timeline leads to lasting changes that self-study approaches rarely achieve.

About Ecosteadbase

Founded in 2019 in İstanbul, Ecosteadbase emerged from a simple observation: people wanted sustainable living but lacked practical guidance. We created a structured approach to home organization that respects both your space and the environment.

Our Story

Ecosteadbase started when three environmental consultants noticed a gap between sustainability awareness and actual implementation. Working with 50+ households in Kadıköy and Beşiktaş districts, we developed a systematic method for organizing homes using sustainable materials and practices.

Our intensive program emerged from these real-world experiences. We tested various approaches with families across İstanbul, documenting what worked and what didn't. The result is a practical framework that reduces household waste by an average of 40% while creating functional living spaces.

Today, we work with participants from across Turkey, offering both in-person sessions in İstanbul and remote consultations. Our team includes 8 certified organizers and sustainability specialists who bring expertise in space planning, material selection, and waste reduction strategies.

Our Approach

We focus on measurable outcomes rather than abstract concepts. Each intensive session includes specific techniques for sorting, storing, and maintaining organized spaces using materials that minimize environmental impact. Participants receive detailed action plans tailored to their home layout and lifestyle.

The program runs over 4 weeks with weekly 3-hour sessions. We cover room-by-room organization, sustainable storage solutions, and maintenance systems that prevent clutter accumulation. All materials provided meet EU environmental standards and are sourced from verified suppliers in Turkey.

Our deadline-driven format creates accountability. Participants complete assignments between sessions, with progress tracked through photo documentation and checklists. This structure ensures completion rates above 85%, compared to typical self-paced programs where most participants abandon efforts within two weeks.

Core Values

Practical Solutions

We provide step-by-step methods tested in real homes. No theoretical advice—only techniques proven to work in apartments ranging from 50 to 200 square meters across İstanbul neighborhoods.

Environmental Responsibility

All recommended products meet strict sustainability criteria. We partner with 15 local suppliers who provide certified sustainable materials, from bamboo organizers to recycled storage containers.

Transparent Process

Participants receive detailed schedules, material lists with prices, and clear success metrics before starting. No hidden costs or surprise requirements—everything is outlined in the initial consultation.

Results Focus

We measure success through specific indicators: reduction in storage space needed, decrease in duplicate items, and time saved on daily routines. Average participants report saving 45 minutes daily on household tasks.

Our Mission

To provide structured, deadline-driven training that helps households in Turkey implement sustainable organization systems. We aim to reduce domestic waste and improve living functionality through proven methods accessible to families with varying budgets and space constraints.

Our Vision

To establish sustainable home organization as a standard practice across Turkish households by 2027. We're expanding our intensive program to 5 additional cities and developing certification courses for independent organizers who want to adopt our methodology.
