Things to declutter in a living room before fall – experts advise what should go to welcome in the new season

1. SEASONAL DECORATIONS

As fall begins, it's time to pack away your summer decorations to make room for your fall decor – swapping out seasonal items is an important quarter-yearly tradition all interior designers and organizing experts follow. This is important for keeping your home clutter-free in order to create a purposeful display, as well as staying on theme.

2. LIGHTWEIGHT THROWS AND PILLOWS

One of the most seamless ways to decorate a living room according to the season is by finding throws and pillows in seasonal colors and designs to decorate your couch for fall.

3. COFFEE TABLES

Your coffee table can act as a centerpiece in your living room and should be tastefully decorated for fall to elevate your living room, which involves rearranging your coffee table display with choice items for the season and removing items that are no longer fitting.

4. INDOOR PLANTS

Refresh your natural living room decor by clearing out wilted plants or those that simply don't suit the fall aesthetic.

5. OLD READING MATERIAL AND PAPERWORK

Make room for new fall reading material by clearing out obsolete newspapers and magazines, and take this as an opportunity to start afresh by getting rid of paper clutter to ensure your living room remains exclusively as a relaxing zone.

6. FINISHED SUMMER DIFFUSERS AND CANDLES

'It’s really easy to forget about diffusers and then suddenly realise they’ve run out and haven’t actually been smelling for the last 3 months,' warns Laura Price. 'The same goes for candles, they sit on a shelf collecting dust and you never actually get round to using them. Fall is a great time to run an inventory check on all the scented things around the living room.

7. KIDS' TOYS

'Living rooms tend to get a lot more use during the fall when the weather turns colder and we want to hunker down in front of the TV. Fall is also a time when your kids will be going back to school, meaning that it's an ideal time to clean, organize, cut down, and declutter any toys your kids have in the living room,' suggests Nick Valentino at Bellhop Movers.
