Organize for Autumn Bliss
With cooler temperatures on the horizon, Jacksonville residents can begin to shed their summer clutter and prepare their homes and schedules for the new season. This guide from NEAT Jax provides organizing tips and local fall activities to help you embrace the First Coast's autumn.
Transition your wardrobe
As the weather cools down, it's the perfect time to switch out your summer clothes for fall favorites. Consider investing in some stylish and functional storage solutions to make the process easy and efficient.
Edit before you store: Don't just pack away your summer wear. Declutter by donating or selling items you no longer need.
Use space-saving solutions: Vacuum-sealed bags are excellent for compressing bulky beach towels and summer linens.
Categorize and contain: Use labeled bins to store out-of-season items. This will make next summer's wardrobe swap a breeze.
