| If the thought of seasonal storage swaps has you dreading the next closet clean-out, there's a simple trick that could change the game — and it starts with how you label your bins. |

| Home organizer and TikTok creator @spruced.by.kl shared a clever system that takes the guesswork out of storage transitions. Instead of dedicating separate bins for summer and winter gear (which quickly uses up valuable space), she recommends using a single bin for both seasons — labeling one side for summer and the other side for winter. |
| Here's how it works: Pack up your cold-weather items (such as jackets, scarves, gloves, and hats) in a bin and label one side of the bin with whatever's inside, such as "sweaters" or "ski clothes." When the seasons shift, simply flip the bin around, fill it with warm-weather essentials (think swimsuits, shorts, tanks, or beach towels) and label the opposite side. Each season as you empty out the bin and flip it around, you're also reminding yourself which new seasonal items fit in the bin without having to guess. It's simple, efficient, and totally repeatable. |
| This approach is especially helpful for anyone short on storage space, such as folks who live in apartments or families managing multiple wardrobes. It also cuts down on excess containers and makes your seasonal rotation feel less like a chore and more like a quick swap. |
| For added ease, use large, clear labels or write directly on the bin with a chalk marker so you can update or tweak the label as needed. You can easily apply this trick for storage beyond clothing, too, including seasonal decor, camping gear, or sports equipment. |
| Best of all, this method gives you a built-in limit. If your off-season items don't fit in the bin, it might be time to declutter. So next time you're staring down that pile of seasonal stuff, grab a bin, label it, flip it, and swap like a pro. Your future self (and your closet) will thank you. |
