Holiday decorations are an important part of creating joyful spirits and lasting memories with loved ones each year. These decorations set the tone for the holiday season. So how do you keep your cherished holiday décor organized and safe in storage once the season is over?

Here are some practical suggestions for making holiday storage easier to put away now and to unpack next year.

Our Top Tips for Handling Holiday Decoration Storage

1. Categorize & Label Everything

One of the easiest ways to improve holiday storage is to categorize your decorations with like objects. Keep them in clear plastic boxes, so you can easily identify whether you are looking for ornaments, wreaths, or other holiday trinkets.

Take the extra step to label each bin with its contents, so you can find more specific items without the need to rummage through your bins.

2. Take Time to Protect Your Fragile Ornaments
