How to Organize, Store, and Pack Your Holiday Decorations

Published: August 01, 2022

If you’re like most homeowners, your holiday decorations are a collection of objects you’ve collected throughout the years. When decorating, keeping everything in order and functioning properly may be difficult.

You may save your holiday décor for another year if you spend some time preparing and organizing it. Here are some pointers from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Cincinnati on arranging, packing, and storing your Christmas decorations.

1. Start by going through all of your holiday decorations. Only keep those things that are in good working order and that you enjoy using. Any broken or unusable items should be disposed of or donated.

2. After you’ve reviewed your decorations, sort them by subject. Your tree ornaments should be kept in one area, your lights in another, and so on.

3. Label each box of decorations, so you know what goes where.

4. Once everything has been packed, use small boxes for small objects like glass ornaments and large boxes for big items like garlands and wreaths.

5. Fill each box with packing material, such as bubble wrap or tissue paper, to keep your decorations safe.

6. Keep your packed boxes in a cool, dry place where they’ll be out of the sun. A basement or attic are excellent choices.

Following these ideas, you can maintain your holiday decorations in excellent shape until next year. Are you ready for your storage container? Give UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Cincinnati a call today!
