It often happens that we pile up unused items on top of the wardrobes in our homes.
We all tend to make such mistakes. Sometimes this is due to a lack of storage space, while at other times, it stems from a lack of proper knowledge regarding Vastu principles.

At times, certain items kept atop the wardrobe can invite misfortune and adversely affect your financial well-being.
Clutter or broken containers are among the items that attract negative energy and create Vastu defects when placed on top of a wardrobe. If you are making this mistake—knowingly or unknowingly—you should change this habit immediately.
**Clutter/Junk Items**
You should never store junk or unwanted items on top of any wardrobe in your home, whether it is made of wood or iron.
People usually keep money or jewelry inside the wardrobe; if clutter accumulates on top, it may displease Goddess Lakshmi and lead to financial loss. Try to remove junk from the house immediately rather than letting it pile up anywhere.
**Empty Containers**
You should never place empty containers on top of the wardrobe. It is believed that negative energy quickly enters empty containers—such as cardboard boxes—and since the wardrobe is considered a dwelling place for Goddess Lakshmi, placing empty containers there is ill-advised.
**Torn or Old Clothes**
According to Vastu, torn or worn-out clothes harbor negative energy, which spreads rapidly in the surrounding area wherever they are kept. For this reason, one should never wear torn clothes.
**Empty Suitcases or Trolley Bags**
According to Vastu, you should never place an empty suitcase on top of the wardrobe. Even an empty suitcase harbors negative energy; placing one atop a wardrobe causes energy to flow in the wrong direction, potentially leading to financial loss and inviting misfortune into the home. According to Vastu principles, one should not keep empty suitcases in the house.

Rusted Iron Objects
Rusted iron items can become a dwelling place for *Rahu* and may adversely affect the influence of *Shani* (Saturn) in your life. Therefore, you should never store iron objects on top of a wardrobe; it is best to remove rusted items from the house immediately.
If you keep any of the aforementioned items on top of your wardrobe, it is advisable to remove them right away.
