Holiday Storage Tips for Decorations and Gear
Keep your holiday decorations, artificial trees, and seasonal gear safe and organized until next year.
The holidays are over, and now you're staring at boxes of decorations, an artificial tree, and maybe some outdoor lights that need a home until next December. A storage unit is the perfect solution — but proper packing keeps everything in great shape for years to come.
Organize Before You Store
Take time to sort and label decorations by holiday and room. Use clear plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes — they're stackable, protect against moisture, and let you see what's inside without opening every container.
Protect Fragile Ornaments
- Wrap delicate ornaments individually in tissue paper or bubble wrap
- Use divided ornament storage boxes for maximum protection
- Store wreaths in dedicated wreath boxes to prevent crushing
Artificial Tree Storage
Disassemble your tree according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a tree storage bag rather than the original box — bags are easier to carry and protect branches from dust and damage.
Outdoor Decorations
Clean and dry all outdoor lights, inflatables, and yard decorations before storing. Coil lights around a piece of cardboard to prevent tangling. Check for burned-out bulbs now so you're not scrambling next season.
Create a Holiday Inventory
Keep a list of what you have stored and which bin it's in. When November rolls around, you'll know exactly where to find the tree topper and outdoor extension cords.
