Spring cleaning and organizing has a way of sneaking up on you, especially with most of us spending a lot more time at home than ever before.

Woman hands neatly folding underwears and sorting in drawer organizers on white marble background. Closet tidying and decluttering concept. Copyspace. Hypoallergenic fabric. Organic cotton.

There's been a growing movement in Western culture to cut down on excessive amounts of stuff around the house. In South-East Asia, where people live in small, studio-sized apartments, many have found efficient ways to smartly organize their belongings, everything from clothes to old memorabilia.

This movement made its way to the West a few years ago and has been adopted by millions of people. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing to have a home with less clutter, and gives the space to be more creative with the art decor in your home, but it's also more affordable and sustainable.

Marie Kondo became an internet sensation after her blog, book, and Netflix TV show were watched by millions worldwide. Her goal is to help more people live a life that sparks joy, and she does this simply by removing items that weigh her down or no longer serve a purpose. Her famous folding technique has been adapted into many lives. It makes your closet much more spacious and more accessible to easily finding what clothes you'll wear that day.

With spring just around the corner, now is the ultimate time to filter through what sparks your joy so you can go into the new season feeling like a load has just been lifted. While you're at it, Marie Kondo has launched a collaboration with The Container Store, with loads of storage solutions made from fully sustainable and renewable materials.

Marie Kondo said, "I'm so excited to introduce my collaboration with The Container Store! These organizing essentials are versatile, sustainable and will spark joy in your space for years to come."

We've gathered the top storage solutions we believe can make your home much more organized.
