Seasonal Decluttering Guide: Make Space for Every Season

As the seasons change, our homes often reflect the chaos of transition. Whether it’s bulky winter coats taking over your closet or beach towels still scattered from summer, seasonal clutter can build up fast. That’s why I’ve created this Seasonal Decluttering Guide to help you stay ahead of the mess and create a home that flows effortlessly from one season to the next.


1. Declutter by Season: Why It’s Important


Each season comes with its own set of activities, clothes, and décor. By decluttering with the seasons, you can make room for what you actually need and use, while saying goodbye to what no longer serves you. This helps you stay organized year-round and prevents the buildup of unnecessary items.


2. Spring: Fresh Start for Your Space


Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start. As the weather warms up, go through your winter clothes, coats, and boots. If you didn’t wear them this year, consider donating or selling them. Tackle your outdoor gear, too—clean, sort, and store away shovels, sleds, and snow-related items. Then, bring out your lighter spring gear, but only what you know you’ll use.


Spring Checklist:

  • Declutter winter clothing, shoes, and accessories

  • Sort through outdoor winter equipment

  • Organize spring and summer items


3. Summer: Streamline for Simplicity


Summer is a time for fun, relaxation, and lightness. But it can also be a time when things like beach gear, sports equipment, and BBQ supplies pile up. Go through your summer supplies, and donate or recycle anything that’s worn out or no longer needed. Simplify your summer wardrobe by keeping only the clothes you truly love and feel great in.


Summer Checklist:

  • Declutter summer gear: pool toys, beach chairs, umbrellas

  • Sort through sports equipment and camping gear

  • Streamline summer clothes and shoes


4. Fall: Prepare for Cozy Comfort


As temperatures drop, it’s time to bring out cozy sweaters, boots, and scarves. But before adding more to your closets and drawers, declutter items from spring and summer that didn’t get used. Focus on quality over quantity when it comes to fall and winter clothing—choose items that are warm, functional, and in good condition.


Fall Checklist:

  • Store or donate unused spring/summer items

  • Declutter and organize fall décor and accessories

  • Prepare outdoor areas for colder weather


5. Winter: Cozy, Organized, and Clutter-Free


Winter can bring its own unique clutter—heavy jackets, holiday decorations, and extra blankets. Take some time to clear out what you don’t need before the winter months begin. As holiday season approaches, go through your décor and wrapping supplies to make sure everything is organized and easy to access. Keep only the holiday items that have true sentimental value or purpose.


Winter Checklist:

  • Declutter holiday decorations and wrapping supplies

  • Organize winter clothing and outerwear

  • Sort through blankets, bedding, and seasonal décor


6. General Tips for Year-Round Decluttering


  • Rotate Your Wardrobe: Keep only seasonal items in your main closets and store the rest away in bins or vacuum-sealed bags.

  • Label Everything: Clearly mark bins and boxes with labels for each season to make it easy to swap items in and out.

  • Donate Regularly: If you haven’t used something for an entire season, it’s time to let it go. Regular donations keep clutter from building up.


Embrace the Change of Seasons



Decluttering seasonally helps you stay organized, reduce stress, and make your home a more functional space. By staying on top of each season’s unique demands, you can create a home that feels open, peaceful, and ready for whatever the next season brings.
