5 things you should declutter when Fall arrives

The transition to the fall season should bring a transition into our homes and lives.

Declutter Your Space
Autumn is the perfect time to go through your belongings. Focus on rooms and areas that may have accumulated clutter over the summer. Consider donating or recycling items you no longer use.

1. Summer Clothing
   As temperatures drop, it’s time to sort through your summer wardrobe. Evaluate each piece and donate or discard items you didn't wear this past season. This creates space for fall fashions and keeps your closet organized.

2. Outdoor Items
   Review your patio, garden, and outdoor equipment. Clean out any broken or unused items. Consider donating items like old lawn chairs or gardening tools that you no longer use.

3. Seasonal Decor
   Go through your fall and Halloween decorations. Discard any broken or outdated items, and assess if there are pieces you no longer display. This will allow you to enjoy a more streamlined seasonal aesthetic.

4. Expired Food
   Check your pantry and refrigerator for expired summer food items, such as condiments, snacks, or perishable goods. Disposing of these will make room for new, seasonal ingredients.

5. Books and Magazines
   Review your collection of summer reading materials. Donate books you no longer plan to read and recycle magazines to make space for new literature that may inspire your fall activities or projects.
