10 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Cleaning Your Closet

Not Decluttering First: Before organizing, make sure to declutter. Keeping items you no longer need or wear will only make your closet more chaotic.

Skipping a Plan: Without a clear plan, you might end up moving items around without making real progress.

Failing to Categorize: Organize clothes and accessories into categories (e.g., tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes).

Ignoring Seasonal Changes: Not rotating seasonal clothing can lead to clutter. Store out-of-season clothes in bins or on higher shelves to free up space.

Not Investing in Proper Storage Solutions: Using mismatched hangers or inadequate storage containers can lead to disorganization.

Overlooking Vertical Space: Utilize all available space, including vertical areas. Add shelves, hooks, or hanging organizers to maximize storage.

Neglecting Maintenance: Once organized, regular maintenance is crucial. Failing to periodically review and tidy your closet can lead to a quick return to clutter.

Keeping Sentimental Items in Everyday Space: Store sentimental items separately to avoid cluttering your everyday space.

Not Trying on Clothes: Ensure clothes still fit and are in good condition before keeping them. Trying on clothes helps to decide what to keep and what to discard.

Ignoring Lighting: Poor lighting can make it hard to see what you have. Good lighting helps you maintain order and easily find what you need.
