As you're getting ready for a new season — whether you're swapping out breezy summer wear for denim and knits, transitioning your decor to something a bit more earthy, or prepping your space to host guests — don't forget about your home goals. We're talking about the big one: decluttering. How many times have you put one more thing into that drawer, promising that you'll clean it out next week? How often do you walk by the guest room and cringe at the thought of just how many clothes and boxes are stuffed into the closet?
We see you and we accept you (we are you), but if there were ever a season to put a serene, decluttered home at the top of your list, this fall is that time. For starters, the best way to declutter is to actually get rid of all of the stuff cluttering up your home. For that, we suggest Marie Kondo's KonMari Method, which goes like this:
- Commit yourself to tidying up.
- Imagine your ideal lifestyle.
- Finish discarding first.
- Tidy by category, not by location.
- Follow the right order.
- Ask yourself if it sparks joy.
Once you've gone through this exercise and you're looking only at the (hopefully) few items left that make your life better, easier, or more joyful, use these 14 products to help you get your home in order this fall!

The Container Store Nordic Storage Baskets
Ok, let's clear something up. Decluttering is most certainly not about rearranging your clutter and putting it in pretty boxes.

These Nordic-style storage baskets from The Container Store are super-useful and also super-cute, especially when paired with bamboo lids.
