As the warm autumn colors start to replace summer green, and humidity is traded for crisp breezes and crunchy leaves, you can’t help but feel the changing of the seasons everywhere you go. Fall is a great time to get inspired by what is all around you, whether it be beautiful scenery, a cozy coffee shop, your local pumpkin patch, or that newfound chill in the air.

During this season of change, make it a priority to declutter your craft space so that you can get straight to crafting whenever that inspiration strikes. Here are a few seasonal decluttering tips to get you started:

Fall out of bad habits

The first step to decluttering your space is awareness. Which spaces have become overwhelmed with miscellaneous supplies? Do you find yourself shoving paper scraps in random drawers? Analyzing the inefficiencies of your current crafting area will help you prepare for more functional organization in the future.

Save a latte space

Do you have any bulky furniture or space-wasting cabinets in your craft space? Now is the time to consider how much space you could be saving with storage solutions that are catered specifically to each product you need to store.

Breathe a sigh of re-leaf

Celebrate any small steps you take in cleaning and decluttering your craft space. Remember, progress is gradual and change doesn’t happen all at once. If you started by simply dusting off a few cabinets, that’s great! All that matters is that you started somewhere.

Spend s’more time crafting

Decluttering your space isn’t just for looks. When your crafting area is clean and organized, you can unleash your creativity uninhibited by annoying clutter and missing supplies. Now the only piles you'll look at for inspiration will be freshly raked piles of autumn leaves. So throw on your favorite flannel, get cozy, and start crafting!
