This even applies to organizing trends.

Other times, the general public is just ready to move on to something else.
Below are the organizing trends professional organizers say are going out of style in 2024.
But all the pro-organizers I spoke with say these are falling out of favor.
Not into the look of a clear, slim, hanger?
Jennifer Jarrett ofJenuinely Containedsuggests going with grey velvet, white velvet, wooden, or rubberized hangers instead.
However, Stewart tells me the aesthetic is becoming dated.
Kardashian cookie jars are a thing of the past.
While we do still get requests to do them, it’s not a trend for the upcoming year.
Gone are the days of overly prominent and excessive labeling.
But that doesnt mean labels wont be aesthetic in the coming year.
However, they will be simplified.
Stewart advises using a label maker with a plain font.
Extreme Decanting
Keeping things organized is challenging enough.
So, does every small bag of nuts or every cleaning product really need a custom container?
Amy Cha ofEveryday Organizedsays no.
The days of meticulously decanting prepacked foods for display are coming to an end," she says.
Rolling Carts Everywhere
Images of rolling carts have been all over social media for years now.
But rolling carts aren’t the perfect way to store every miscellaneous item.
“The middle and lower shelves aren’t adjustable and therefore have limited access and flexibility.
The open design can make them look unruly in day-to-day use.
Mircosorting Everything
Yes, one of the tenets of having an organized home is properly sorting things.
But going overboard isn’t practical and pro organizers are seeing the popularity of these systems beginning to wane.
“While it certainly looks pretty, it is way too much overhead.
She tells me that higher-level categories are often more manageable for people to maintain.
Thinkdentalversusgreen toothbrushes, Jarrett adds.
Instead, opt for straight-sided bins that line up in a neat row.
