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. Items from Martha's collaboration with Michael's will help you there. It's "out with the old and in with the new" with these organizing solutions. Click through to shop products that will get the job done.

Overflowing accordion files and ripped paper folders aren't the best at keeping your important documents safe. Replace worn out office supplies with stackable organizers available from Martha's office collection at Staples.

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.

Nested Bowls with Lids

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.

Food Storage Canister Set

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.

Stenciled Entryway Table

You walk in the front door and put your keys down in a place you think you'll remember the next day, but when morning comes, they're nowhere to be found. Position a small table near the entryway to catch keys, loose change, sunglasses, and all of the other things that need a home outside of your pockets. Brush on a coat of Martha's Vintage Decor paint and use stencils to match your entryway décor, all available at Michaels.
