How to Organize, Store, and Pack Your Holiday Decorations

Published: August 01, 2022

If you’re like most homeowners, your holiday decorations are a hodgepodge of things you’ve gathered throughout the years. Keeping everything in its correct place and operating effectively might be tricky when decorating.

If you spend some time preparing and organizing your holiday decorations, you may keep them in good condition for the next year. UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Central Long Island offers hints for arranging, packing, and preserving your Christmas decorations.

1. Begin by going through all of your holiday decorations. Keep only those things that are in good working order and that you like to use. Any damaged or unusable goods should be disposed of or given to charity.

2. Sort your decorations by topic once you’ve looked them over. For example, your tree ornaments should be kept in one spot, your lights in another, and so on.

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 packed boxes in a cool, dry place where they won’t be exposed to the sun. Basements and attics are excellent choices.

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