While the holiday season may be a couple of months away, fall is the perfect season to focus on key decluttering projects that will help set the stage for the upcoming festivities.

According to the experts at estate-sale service providers Grasons, the transition from summer to fall presents a unique opportunity to reassess your living spaces. Decluttering creates a more organized home and fosters calm and clarity. A well-organized home can improve your well-being, reduce stress and make daily tasks more manageable. Plus, by tackling these projects now, you'll be able to enter the holiday season with a sense of calm and readiness.

Start with these simple fall organizational projects to get a jump start:

Store summer gear. Even though it's past prime time for beach chairs and pool towels, the remains of summer may still be taking up valuable space in your home. Now is the time to pack away all summer-related gear, including outdoor furniture, coolers, water toys and beach umbrellas. Use labeled bins and storage solutions to keep everything tidy and easy to access next year—and tucked out of the way in the meantime.

Organize school supplies. With the new school year comes a barrage of school supplies, sports equipment, book bags and extracurricular paraphernalia. To prevent school-related clutter from piling up and taking over, set up a dedicated space for your children's supplies, keeping frequently used items within reach. Create a system using bins and organizers that keep papers, books and assignments in order and at hand.

Prepare for cooler weather: Use vacuum-sealed storage bags to pack away summer items in a streamlined fashion, making way for blankets, winter bedding, coats, sweaters and other seasonal clothing. Making this swap-out now will help keep things organized as you move into the holidays, and help you avoid scrambling for winter gear at the first sign of inclement weather.
