Do you know what they are so you can fix them? Here are some home organizing mistakes you need to avoid now.\n<h4>1. The Fridge\n</h4><p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-8720 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/organizing-mistake-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"350\"' height='\"525\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/organizing-mistake-1.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>When you make your fridge your home memo board, you risk allowing clutter. Instead, use a magnet board for invitations, announcements, and your child\u2019s artwork. You will love the look and feel of a clean fridge front!\n</p><h4>2. Do You Have Too Many Piles?\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-8721 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/organizing-mistake-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"350\"' height='\"525\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/organizing-mistake-2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Piles can take over a home. It\u2019s true that an \u201corganized\u201d pile looks better than a messy one, but even a nice pile is still clutter. Implement a filing system for all the paper that comes into your home. Make room in your closets for \u201cextra\u201d clothes. Keep the kitchen counters clear. Everything in your home needs an assigned place that isn\u2019t a pile!\n</p><h4>3. Don\u2019t Make Mistakes with Pictures\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-8722 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/organizing-mistake-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"900\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/organizing-mistake-3.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Pictures remind us of good memories and help make a house a home. But be aware that you can have too many pictures. Limit your pictures to a gallery wall, plus a few framed pictures in each room. Switch out the pictures inside the frames every few months or so to keep them up to date. A great organizing trick is to store the photos that aren\u2019t being displayed in the frame behind the photo that is.\n</p><h4>4. Mistakes in the Entry\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-8723 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/organizing-mistake-4.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"900\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/organizing-mistake-4.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Your entryway is the first thing that people see in your home. It\u2019s also where your family comes and goes, so don\u2019t let it become a catch-all. Have a place for everything. Train your family to put things where they go. Start with a shoe basket for shoes. Have a place for coats and jackets. A console table with a tray for keys is also helpful, along with a spot to lay the mail until you can sort it.\n</p><h4>5. Organizing Mistakes for Shelves\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-8724 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/organizing-mistake-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"900\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/organizing-mistake-5.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Shelves are so helpful for storage and decorating purposes. But if you aren\u2019t careful, they can also cause clutter. The key for shelves is that less is more. Too much on a shelf distracts from the stuff that\u2019s most important. If you struggle with arranging shelves, call a sister or friend who is good at it to get a second opinion.\n</p><h4>6. Drawers Need Organization Too!\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-8725 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/organizing-mistake-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"900\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/organizing-mistake-6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Drawers tend to be messy, simply because it is so easy to throw things in and shut them quickly. Even if you\u2019re the only one who sees it\u2013it\u2019s still cluttered. It makes you feel so much better and in control when even drawers are organized and things have a place. So set a goal to clean out your drawers.\n</p><h4>7. Closet Organizing Mistakes\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-8726 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/organizing-mistake-7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"900\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/organizing-mistake-7.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Closets are similar to drawers. Don\u2019t neglect them. Make sure that everything has a place. Organize your clothes. Get rid of stuff that doesn\u2019t fit or is wearing out. Donate what you can\u2019t keep. A clean closet starts your day off right!\n</p><p>I hope this list of home organizing mistakes helps you feel more organized in your home!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>There are several common home organizing mistakes that make your home feel cluttered.
