New year, fresh start!

For many Americans, 2020 brings a whole new set of resolutions like reading more, eating well and working out. But for many parents like Malin Akerman, the months after the holidays mean one thing: It's time to get organized.

"As a working mom, my life can get hectic so I try to keep my home—especially my son's bedroom—as organized as I can," Malin shared with E! News exclusively. "He loves playing with all of his toys at once so it can get a bit messy, but that's one of the many reasons why HomeGoods is my go-to place for organizing."

In fact, the actress partnered with the affordable retailer to revamp parts of her house including the basement. And spoiler alert: It didn't cost a fortune.

"They source amazing pieces from all over the world and the ever-changing selection makes it easy for me to find different decor inspiration each time I go into the store," Malin explained. "HomeGoods also has so many organizational pieces beyond the typical store essentials."

For all the homeowners and renters out there who feel a bit overwhelmed with organizing in the new year, take a deep breath and relax!

After shopping the aisles of HomeGoods, Malin picked up some tips and she's passing them onto us.

"My advice would be to take advantage of the space you have," she shared. "When revamping my basement, I wanted to make the hallway leading into my entertainment room a productive and useful area, so I decided to make it a workplace. At HomeGoods, I found all the perfect pieces to make that happen."

While you'll have to travel to your local HomeGoods to find Malin's exact home items, you can find similar items at TJMaxx.com and listed below.
