8 Places Everyone Always Forgets to Declutter Before the Holidays

Professional organizers highlight overlooked holiday declutter spots like guest closets and pantries to reduce stress and improve hosting, emphasizing practical tips for smoother celebrations.

  • Professional organizers say hosts and homeowners often overlook guest-room closets, entry drop-zones, pantries and cars, stressing the need to get ahead now to avoid last-minute scrambles.
  • Because holiday obligations often create emotional overload, many hosts postpone guest-room preparation until guests arrive, triggering scramble mode amid holiday season pressures.
  • Check the car and pantry, then pull items out, group like things, toss expired condiments, and use simple labeled totes, hooks or shoe racks for quick weekly resets.
  • The payoff is immediate: decluttering ahead protects hosts' mental and emotional well-being and clears cars and entryways for packages and guest suitcases.
  • Keep it simple and pair tidying with self-care by using simple organizers like labeled totes, doing a weekly reset ritual, and practicing self-care with permission to slow down, daily resets, and gratitude.
