Spring has sprung—and so has that urge to reorganize the entire house, tame the pile of papers teetering in your home office, finally slow the amount of clutter collecting in your kitchen junk drawer, and make sure you never misplace those pesky car keys again. It might sound counterintuitive, but the key to creating solutions that will keep you organized throughout the year is adding a few items to your home first.

Hear us out! If your workflow is interrupted by endless clutter and space-hogging materials, Martha's Staples collection—from desk organizers to storage systems and file folders—is designed to streamline every aspect of your office life. In the kitchen, Martha knows all too well the benefits of optimizing every inch of space, keeping tools and other pantry staples well stocked in her sleek yet classic collection of kitchenware. You can find organizers like this set of melamine bowls in a range of pretty pastels for spring that will help make meal prep a breeze. Plus, Martha's collection at Macy's also features fresh items for the bedroom that can be easily stored in between season—like the quilt and tote set included in our roundup.

We're also sharing a few craft ideas to help introduce new organizers into other areas of your home, including the kid's play space and the foyer or mudroom.

Tackle the linen closet once and for all with this trick: Once folded, store the flat and fitted sheets inside a pillow case.

Overflowing accordion files and ripped paper folders aren't the best at keeping your important documents safe.

Instead of hastily flipping through your notebook trying to find a page sans scribble, opt for a new one that's customized to your organizational needs. Once you have the shell of this notebook picked out (we love the bright Martha blue!), add paper, dividers, plastic pockets, a checklist memo pad, and more. When you run out of writing space, switch out the used pages for new. This multi-tasking notebook is part of Martha's office collection at Staples.

Avid bakers are all too familiar with recipes that call for ingredients to be mixed in separate bowls. And when all is said and done, you've used almost everything in your kitchen. Replace your set of mismatched mixing bowls with a set that nests—we promise it makes a huge difference. You'll have the versatility of multiple bowls in various sizes, but they'll only take up the space of one. This colorful set from the Martha Stewart Collection created for Macy's is made from durable melamine and comes with lids for food storage.

Now that warmer spring weather is here, swap your heavy winter comforter for a lighter quilt. This bedding set from the Martha Stewart Collection created for Macy's is a real multi-tasker.

When the season changes, store it compactly in the linen closet. It's also easy to take with you to the beach or park.

Variety is the spice of life, but sometimes it can take up valuable space in the kitchen. Condense your seasonings into a rack that does double duty; this one from Martha's collection at Macy's can be folded flat for drawer storage or used easel-style on the countertop. The bamboo construction is eco-friendly and 16 spices are included, from basil and oregano to pizza seasoning and herbes de provence.

Make the most of shallow kitchen drawers with a divided tray that will keep contents organized and in place when the drawer is in motion.

This version from the Martha Stewart Collection created for Macy's is made from eco-friendly bamboo.

If you prefer having your cooking tools within reach on the counter, condense them into a block. This 30-piece assortment from the Martha Stewart Collection created for Macy's includes everything from measuring spoons and scissors to a chef's knife and can opener.

Sacks of flour and sugar can get messy and cause the ingredients to go stale. Pack these cooking and baking must-haves into canisters that can either sit on the counter or live in the pantry. Look for varieties that have a tight sealing lid to keep clouds of powder at bay, like these from Martha's collection created for Macy's. We prefer to store in glass containers, that way you can easily view the contents.

Brush on a coat of Martha's Vintage Decor paint and use stencils to match your entryway décor, all available at Michaels.
