How to Organize, Store, and Pack Your Holiday Decorations

Published: November 01, 2022

If you’ve been collecting holiday decorations for years, it can be tough to ensure they’re all in good working condition. But if you store them properly, you can keep using them year after year. UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of East Dallas-Fort Worth offers the following hints for arranging, packing, and preserving your Christmas decorations.

1. Begin by going through all of your holiday decorations. Get rid of anything that isn’t functioning or isn’t used frequently.

2. Sort your decorations by topic once you’ve looked them over. Having a specific place for each decoration will make the Christmas set-up a breeze. Hang all of your tree ornaments in one area and keep the lights separate. This way, you won’t be searching high and low for that one missing piece.

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 boxes in a cool, dry place that isn’t sunny to keep the delicate contents of them. Attics and basements are excellent places to store them.

These ideas will help you keep your holiday decorations in like-new condition until next year. Are you ready for your own storage container? Give UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of East Dallas-Fort Worth a call today!
