Published: July 01, 2022

If you’re like the majority of people, your holiday decorations are a mixture of items you’ve acquired throughout the years. Keeping everything organized and in good working order while decorating might be difficult.

You can store your holiday décor for another year if you take the time to prepare and work. Here are some tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Lexington-Thomasville on how to organize, pack and store your holiday decorations:

1. Begin by going through all of your holiday decorations. Keep only those items that are in good working order and that you enjoy using. Any broken or damaged objects should be donated or thrown out.

2. Once you’ve had a chance to examine your decorations, arrange them by subject. All of your tree ornaments should be kept in one spot, all of your lights in another, and so on.

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

4. Use little boxes for delicate objects like glass ornaments and big boxes for bulky things like garlands and wreaths when it’s time to pack everything up.

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

6. Keep your packed boxes in a cool, dry location away from the sun. A basement or attic is ideal.

By following these tips, you can organize, pack and store your holiday decorations so that they stay in great condition until next year. Ready for your own storage container? Give UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Lexington-Thomasville a call today!
