How to Organize, Store, and Pack Your Holiday Decorations

Published: September 01, 2022

The majority of homeowners’ holiday decorations are a mishmash of items collected over the years. As for decorating, making sure everything is in its rightful place and functioning properly can be challenging.

By taking the time to protect and organize your holiday decorations, you can maintain their condition and re-use them next year. UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Columbus offers the following hints for arranging, packing, and preserving your Christmas decorations.

1. Begin by going through all of your holiday decorations. Only keep things that work and that you actually use. Get rid of or donate anything damaged or useless.

2. Sort your decorations by topic once you’ve looked them over. For example, keep all of your tree ornaments in one spot, and put all of the lights in another. This way, everything will have its own place.

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

4. Use smaller boxes for tiny things like glass ornaments and bigger ones for larger objects 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 won’t be exposed to the sun. Basements and attics are excellent choices.

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