Tips for Storing Your Holiday Decor
Do you have an attic, basement, or garage full of boxes with random holiday decor? Still wondering where that door hanger with the ghost on it is? If so, then you HAVE to keep reading! Organize & Prioritize has some great tips for storing your holiday decor during this busy season so that next year you know exactly where all of your favorite pieces are and can decorate with ease!
Edit it out!
Tip #1 is all about regularly editing out old/broken items that you no longer want in your holiday decor collection. When you have all of your bins down for each holiday throughout the year, go through every piece and create a “keep” and “donate” pile. This will help minimize the number of storage totes you need and make more space in the area where your containers are stored!
Don’t mix holidays!
Tip #2 is an easy one! When taking your “keep” pile and putting it back into storage containers, make sure that you are separating each holiday. Having one for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc. will allow you to grab the proper tote you need. This year when you’re throwing up your holiday decor you’ll be able to find your favorite Christmas ornaments!
Label everything!
Tip #3 will put the icing on your organizing cake! Using labels will help you quickly determine what items you are looking for. Don’t be afraid to get technical with these labels! Having a label that is more specific like “Outdoor Pumpkins” versus “Pumpkins” may make decorating for the holidays that much easier!
