How to Organize, Store, and Pack Your Holiday Decorations

Published: January 01, 2023

Are your decade-old holiday decorations still in tip-top shape? If you’ve been storing them correctly, you can definitely get a few more years out of them and enjoy the festive season! UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of New Orleans 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 any decorations that are not functioning optimally or are rarely used.

2. Sort your decorations by topic once you’ve looked them over. Make decorating for the holidays a breeze by assigning each decoration its own spot! For instance, one place to store all your ornaments and another area only for lights. With this strategy, you can say goodbye to frantically rummaging around just trying to find that 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.

Try out these ideas if you want your holiday decorations to stay in pristine condition until next year. They might have you running to get your own storage container! Give UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of New Orleans a call today!
