unmessy

Free of disorder

Unmessy describes something orderly, tidy, or free from disorder—the opposite of messy.

It applies to physical spaces an unmessy desk, situations an unmessy divorce, or processes an unmessy transition.

The word often carries a note of mild surprise or relief that expected chaos didn't materialize.
