Fall Home Reset: Declutter and Organize Checklist
Fall is the perfect time for a full home reset. Work through this checklist one room at a time to clear out summer and get ready for busy months ahead.
Quick links to the ideas in this post
1. Entryway: swap seasonal gear
Store summer hats, sandals and beach bags. Bring out coats, boots, gloves and umbrellas, and check what still fits.
- Wash and store summer items
- Check kids coats and boots for size
- Add a basket for hats and gloves
2. Closets: rotate clothes
Box up summer clothes and bring out warm layers. Donate anything that was not worn this year.
3. Kitchen and pantry: clear and restock
Use up summer drinks and snacks, check dates on baking supplies and set up a breakfast zone for school mornings.
4. Bedrooms: switch bedding
Wash and store light bedding and bring out warmer duvets and blankets, storing each set together.
5. Whole home: set a weekly routine
Pick one day each week for a 30-minute reset: laundry, surfaces, fridge and paper.
- Monday: laundry
- Wednesday: surfaces and floors
- Friday: fridge and paper
- Sunday: plan the week
A fall reset takes a weekend, and it makes every busy weekday that follows easier.
