Professional organizers share their thoughts on what is in (and out) this year.

Just as interior designers know what's in style when it comes to home decor, professional organizers have their finger on the pulse of the most effective storage trends. Because they're constantly clearing clutter and creating working systems in clients' homes, organizers know what trends work and which fads you should skip. As we head into a new year, we asked several pros to share their top home organizing predictions for 2025.

Many of their answers are unsurprising, as they align with the values of today’s climate. Think: environmentally-friendly solutions, self-care routines, and using technology to its full potential. If you're hoping to make positive changes in your home this year, take inspiration from the organizing trends these experts are using (and loving) right now.

1. Treat Organization as a Form of Self Care:
   Getting organized can actually be a form of self-care—and it's one that can make a big impact on your daily routine. Janelle Azar, professional organizer and owner of A Meaningful Space, predicts that “[we'll see] a stronger focus on how organization impacts mental health and well-being.”
   
   
2. Embrace Intentional Economical, and Sustainable Organization Solutions:
   Eco-friendly organizing methods and products are here to stay. But, this year, being smart about their purpose and price is also cool. “With inflation, people are trying to take better care of the possessions they have now,” Eckerle says. “By caring for your belongings with intention, you can create a space that feels beautiful, functional, and enduring.”
   
   
3. Use Tech to Get More Organized:
   The terms AI and ChatGPT are now part of our everyday vocabulary, and people are using the technology to stay organized in all aspects of their lives. Between hacks to help you digitally declutter and smart home devices to keep on top of routines, there are plenty of ways you can take full advantage of today's technology.
   
   
4. Aim for Accessiblity (Especially if Aging in Place):
   With many seniors deciding to age in place, there’s no rush for them, or their stuff, to go anywhere anytime soon. This eliminates the frantic decluttering of decades worth of items in a short period of time when an older family member moves into an assisted living facility. That’s not to say they shouldn’t work on decluttering, but there are other factors to consider.
   
   
5. Curate Storage Systems That Work For You:
   The beauty of getting organized is that you can tailor it to fit your style, as well as your space and stuff. “Many consumers realize the importance of choosing the right size and style to avoid clutter, Snodgrass says. This looks like buying fewer trendy containers and focusing more on custom solutions, including budget-friendly ones. “We can expect to see a growing demand for deep storage to accommodate the larger cabinets and closets found in modern homes," she says.
