Preparing For Fall: Storage & Organization Ideas
Ready for the Fall season to begin? Autumn is such a naturally beautiful time of year. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to get organized inside and outside of your home. Proper and effective storage and organization can be a real game changer. Take some time out to start the season off right and get your home organized.
Here are 6 Storage and Organization Ideas for Fall:
1. Pack Away Your Summer Items
From summer clothing to your pool floaties, packing away your summer items can save you a lot of space in your home. When packing these items away, be sure to use proper storage bins that are waterproof and sturdy. Label all of your bins and keep like items together. You can store summer clothes in plastic vacuum sealed bags to maximum storage space. For larger items, like kayaks and jet skis, consider renting a climate-controlled storage unit to free up space in your garage while they are out of season.
2. Swap Summer Yard Tools with Fall Supplies
Many of your summer gardening tools and supplies are no longer needed in Fall. Put your summer items in the rear of all the items you will need for Autumn and Winter.
3. Create Organization Lists & Delegate Tasks
Getting your home organized can feel like an overwhelming task at times. Creating a list will help to ensure that you don't forget anything important. Order your list from most important or difficult to the easiest tasks. Tackling those big jobs first can help you build momentum. Be sure to delegate tasks or rooms to family members so that the entire workload doesn't fall on just one person. If you have overflow items that you simply don't have room to properly store, then you may want to rent a local secure storage unit.
4. Get Your Guest Room Ready
Many people have guests frequently over the Fall and Winter holiday season. Prepare your guest room with warm blankets & comfy pillows, clear closet space, have convenient amenities & snacks available, and update this space with seasonal decor.
5. Prepare Emergency Supplies
Fall and Winter can also bring serious storms. It is important to be prepared for power outages and limited access to roadways in the case of an emergency. Be sure to have plenty of water, alternative heating methods, food storage, some type of generator, medical supplies, as well as flashlights, candles, and solar lanterns for lighting.
6. Donate Unwanted and Unused Items
Find a local charity that you want to support and donate your unwanted and unused items that are still in good condition. Discard the rest and have them removed so that you are not tempted to keep them any longer.
