7 Organizing Ideas from TikTok That Are Helping Us Get Ready for Fall

The temperatures are starting to drop, which means you’re probably spending a little more time indoors. So, what better opportunity to get each room organized and ready for fall? If you’re having trouble motivating yourself or don’t quite know where to start, there’s no better resource than TikTok. Whether you want to add a little fun to your organization project or just need some good visuals, you will find all the inspiration you need on this social media platform. Here are seven organizing ideas we found on TikTok to help get you started.

Do a Fall Closet Reset

Say goodbye to those summer shorts, pickleball outfits, and swimsuit coverups. It’s time to reset your closet for fall, inspired by @lifewithmartine's seasonal closet refresh. Start by cleaning out and storing any wardrobe pieces that are strictly for summer. While it’s okay to keep some T-shirts for hot days or layering, there’s probably a lot in your closet you won’t be wearing for a while. Then use that empty space to keep your warm sweaters, jeans, and jackets within reach.

Use Fall-Themed Organizers

There’s nothing quite like a fall-themed organizer to motivate you to tidy up your fridge and pantry. Whether it’s a pumpkin butter holder (as seen in this TikTok) or a ghost-shaped candy dish, fall-themed organizers are a fun way to create a seasonal aesthetic and get organized at the same time.

Go for Baskets Galore

Need to organize toys? Snacks? Beauty supplies? Extra toilet paper? One of the easiest ways to organize anything is by putting it in a basket. A timeless brown or tan straw or wicker basket always feels extra autumnal—or grab an orange basket if you’re feeling extra festive this season.

Decant Your Way Into the Season

Decanting is one of those social media organizing trends that never seems to fall out of favor. It’s also one of the best ways to display all of your favorite fall foods. Whether it’s maple leaf cookies or pumpkin-shaped pasta, when something is removed from it’s original packaging and put into a clear container, it instantly doubles as decor. 

Use Fall-Themed Zipper Bags to Sort Everything

If you’re looking to organize anything from Halloween fun-size peanut butter cups to small toys and makeup, there’s no more convenient choice than zipper bags. Add a fall touch with a cute bat design. Use them on the go or to keep things tidy and categorized in your pantry or bathroom.

Design a Fall-Themed Hanging Bar

Looking to add some kitsch to your kitchen? Why not create a seasonal hanging bar to keep everything organized and on display? Instead of a large, bulky pot rack, add a sleek copper-colored bar over your range—or wherever you have a little extra wall space. Then add kitchen essentials like leaf-print or pumpkin spatulas, measuring cups, and warm-hued dishtowels. Change the theme every season so you can decorate for the holidays, spring, and summer.

Reset Your Nightstand

Nightstands are a great place to store things, but most people don’t take full advantage of this space. From extra chargers to hand creams and books, there’s a lot you can organize in your nightstand drawer. And as you're getting ready for fall, you're going to want to make sure your nightstand is stocked with everything you want and need to get cozy. Start by removing everything from your nightstand and giving it a good cleaning. Wipe down the entire nightstand from top to bottom. Then, add drawer organizers to keep things in place for the long run. You can use clear acrylic dividers, but feel free to consider other materials such as bamboo or wicker. If you’re already using drawer organizers, be sure to remove and clean them before reorganizing and putting everything back.
