While the show includes celebrity appearances such as Drew Barrymore, Winnie Harlow, Christ Pratt, and Lauren Conrad, it also highlights ordinary families helping their communities in big ways. We spoke to Shearer and Teplin to learn about their favorite trends and products from the season.
Organizing as Self-Care
The duo is seeing more thought go into organization these days. “People are now understanding that organizing is really a form of self-care, and it can do so much for your mind and body. Instead of ‘I have to organize,’ it’s ‘I get to organize.’ In other words, how can my space bring more peace to my life? What’s working? What’s not?” Shearer tells The Spruce. “People are also thinking beyond traditional spaces such as closets and pantries to create systems that might seem small, but make a huge difference. A charging station where everyone can dock their devices is a great example,” she says.
Getting Kids Involved
Another trend they’re seeing is children’s enthusiasm for getting involved in the process. “Kids are also getting more into organizing than ever before—and not just the ones we gave birth to,” jokes Teplin. “Our Netflix show played a huge role in that. We have parents and kids reaching out to us on a daily basis to share photos of their newly organized spaces. Kids are even playing ‘The Home Edit’ and pretending to be either Clea or [myself]. They’ll go through the whole edit process in their playroom and group things into categories. It’s still hard for us to believe!”
Joanna and Clea’s Favorites
The duo’s personal favorite products are open-front bins. “We used both the clear and wooden versions from our product collections throughout the season,” says Shearer. “They are perfect for storing those grab-and-go items that still need to be properly contained.” When asked about the team’s favorite space to organize, Teplin says, Here are some of Shearer and Teplin’s favorite go-to products from season 2. However, the basis of the brand lies in their signature products, used across all of their organization projects, and featured on both seasons of the show. The original collection launched in May 2020 at The Container Store, and in January 2022, a second collection debuted at Walmart, in an effort to prove that organization can be affordable to everyone. All items in the Walmart collection fall under $25. Prior to publication, Shearer announced over Instagram that she has been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy last Friday. On Today, Teplin provided an update, saying, “[Clea’s] doing well. She is just so strong and such a pillar of strength that I can’t imagine anyone tackling cancer the way that she has.” In the meantime, the main challenge is keeping her best friend still long enough to rest. In a separate interview with People, Shearer said, “I’m a fighter. If anyone can crush cancer, it is me.” To follow along on this team’s journey, fans can watch the second season of Get Organized with The Home Edit, on Netflix now.
