More order, more space – clever tidying up after the summer

More order, more space – clever tidying up after the summer


After a livelySummerFull of excursions, holidays, and garden evenings, one thing often remains at home: a bit of chaos. Bags pile up in the hallway, summer clothes are still lying in the bathroom, and there's little room in the kitchen for anything new. Right now, in late summer, is the perfect opportunity to breathe fresh air into your home. A littleCleanup updatenot only creates space, but also ensures a clear head –and makes you want to go to the coming autumn season.

Easy start: stowing summer things

Whether picnic blankets, beach bags, or sun hats – many summer essentials are no longer needed on a daily basis. Stored in boxes or baskets, ideally labeled, they disappear neatly and are quickly accessible next year. This leaves room for what's more important now.

Create order in the hallway


The hallway is the first room where summer chaos becomes apparent. Bags, sandals, and sun hats are often still lying around. A small coat rack or a few hooks on the wall help keep everything handy but organized. Baskets under the bench or a narrow shelf also keep the floor clear.

Prepare the bathroom for autumn

Sunscreen and after-sun products can move to the top shelf. Instead, nourishing creams and autumnal fragrances can be kept within easy reach. Using small shelves or wall hangers keeps surfaces clear and brings calm to the room. Towels in muted tones also create a harmonious look.

Regain space in the kitchen


After barbecues and summer parties, jars, spices, and decorations often pile up. Now's a good time to go through your cupboards. Things you no longer need can be thrown away or given a permanent home. A simple roll holder or utensil holder also creates order on the countertop and makes the kitchen more suitable for everyday use.

Small steps, big impact


Tidying up doesn't mean turning your entire home upside down in one weekend. It's much more effective to develop small routines that can be easily integrated into your daily routine. If you focus on just one area each day—for example, the shoe rack today, the kitchen drawer tomorrow—you'll quickly notice the chaos disappearing step by step. Transparent boxes or baskets help keep things visible and within easy reach, while open shelves prevent favorite items from getting lost in closets. Seasonal thinking also makes sense: Put away summery items, bring out autumnal ones. In the end, only the things that are truly useful or bring joy should remain—this automatically makes your home feel lighter and more open.


One area every day

Instead of doing everything at once, it's better to organize things bit by bit.


Store things visibly


Baskets, transparent boxes or open shelves prevent things from “disappearing”.


Develop new routines


Shoes directly on the mat, bag on the hook – saves work later.


Think seasonally


Putting away summer things and bringing out autumn things creates balance.


Focus on favorite pieces

Only things that you actually use or find beautiful should remain visible.

Enjoy the open space

After tidying up, a whole new feeling often emerges: Rooms seem lighter, cleaner, and more inviting. Especially in late summer, when things slowly become more cozy, it's nice to have structure in your home. This leaves more time for the good things in everyday life – and less time spent searching and sorting.

Start the autumn with ease

Cleaning up after summer is more than just organizing—it's a little fresh start. A few simple steps create more space, a better overview, and a home that's ready for the coming season. Small helpers like hooks, shelves, or baskets discreetly support this without cluttering the space. This creates a sense of clarity and lightness, step by step, making the transition into autumn especially pleasant.
