As the vibrant colours of autumn arrive and the air turns crisp, there’s no better time to reset your living space. This guide will walk you through practical autumn decluttering tips to help clear your space and mind before winter truly sets in.
1. Start with the seasonal switch
Begin by swapping out summer essentials for autumn ones. Pack away swimsuits and sandals, and bring out jackets and scarves. As you do, take the opportunity to declutter what you didn’t use this past season, if you haven’t used it, it’s time to donate.
- One-In, One-Out Rule: For every new blanket you add, try removing one item that no longer serves you.
- Follow our full guide on seasonal clothing storage for best results.
2. Declutter room by room
Breaking down your decluttering into manageable sections helps prevent overwhelm. Start with the spaces you use most:
- Kitchen: Clear expired pantry items and wipe down cabinets.
- Bedrooms: Rotate linens and assess your wardrobe.
- Living Room: Focus on creating warm, inviting areas free of unnecessary clutter.
3. Focus on storage solutions
Autumn is all about layers, so effective storage is key. Invest in under-bed boxes, shelf organisers, and labelled containers to make seasonal storage simple and clutter-free. These autumn decluttering tips are not just about getting rid of things, but also about optimising the space you have.
- Entryways: Clear out entryways by storing summer shoes and tidying coat hooks.
- Find durable containers in our guide to storage solutions.
4. Clear mental clutter too
Decluttering isn’t just physical, it’s mental too. Create a calming, clean space that supports relaxation and focus during the cooler months. A clean home can positively impact your mood, productivity, and even your sleep. Read more on the benefits of mental clarity in our guide on how to clear mental clutter.
