Clever Storage Solutions for All of Your Holiday Decorations

When you don't have the right storage solutions, putting decorations away at the end of the holiday season can feel overwhelming. You have to find spots to store the ornaments, wreath, tree skirt, wrapping supplies, that big ol' artificial Christmas tree if you have one, and all the other random holiday decorations that made your home feel extra festive.

Holiday decoration storage solutions don't just make cleanup easier, they also free up coveted storage space while keeping things organized and out of the way. Imagine walking into your storage area and finding all of your holiday decorations put away nicely and orderly, and dare we say, labeled. It would probably make your decorating experience a little more enjoyable and the breakdown a lot more tolerable.

‌What Needs Storing:‌ Before you can purchase any storage organizer, you need to determine what needs to be stored. If you know what you have off the top of your head, great. If not, you might want to do a quick inventory of your decorations to make sure you buy the right solutions. Christmas decorations might require the most storage, but if you decorate for other holidays like Hanukkah, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Easter or St. Patrick's Day, it's probably a good idea to purchase additional storage solutions to keep the holidays separate.

‌Type:‌ There are several different types of storage containers to consider depending on what you need to store, from plastic containers to fabric boxes to plastic tree covers. Some items like wrapping paper can be stored in different ways, whether it's in a zippered plastic container, a plastic storage box or a hanging solution.

‌Size:‌ If you have the space in your storage area, you might as well purchase storage solutions that are large enough to keep adding more decorations. Since you're here, you probably enjoy holiday decorations, so chances are you're going to keep adding to your collection year after year. If you don't have a lot of storage space, it's best to buy organizers that'll help you condense your decorations to take up as little space as possible. This can be achieved by purchasing a multifunctional organizer that can hold several types of decorations.
