How to Organize, Store, and Pack Your Holiday Decorations

Published: October 01, 2022

Many individuals have gathered their holiday decorations throughout the years, making ensuring proper arrangement and operation more challenging. You can keep your holiday decorations in good working order and re-use them next year by carefully storing them. UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Mercer and Bucks County 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 your tree ornaments in one area and separate the lights. 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 their delicate contents. Attics and basements are excellent places to store them.

Following these ideas, you can maintain your holiday decorations in excellent shape until next year. Are you ready for your own storage container? Give UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Mercer and Bucks County a call today!
