Tips for Organizing Seasonal Decorations With Self Storage

Tangled string lights, flattened wreaths, and misplaced ornaments are unfortunately part of many folks’ holiday decorating experience. After stowing these items away for months, they often end up damaged, disorganized, or otherwise in disarray, which can put a damper on your festive spirit.

This doesn’t have to be part of your holiday experience, however. With the right strategy and a bit of help from Superior Storage, organizing your seasonal decorations can be a breeze. From fall porch decor to summer home accessories, we’ve put together this guide on how to keep your seasonal flair clean, safe, and ready for next year’s celebration.

Benefits of Storing Seasonal Decorations

Swapping out seasonal decorations is one of the best ways to spruce up your surroundings, as it means your home gets a mini-makeover multiple times throughout the year. Still, finding room for boxes of garlands, lights, and centerpieces can quickly turn into a storage nightmare.

Instead of cramming everything into your closet or garage, consider renting one of Superior’s residential storage units. We’ll make it easy to keep your things organized until next year’s celebration rolls around.

Some of the benefits of keeping your seasonal decorations in storage include:

  • Clearer home. Everyday spaces stay open and easier to navigate.
  • More peace of mind. Delicate holiday decorations remain shielded from exposure to extreme heat or cold that garages and attics often experience.
  • Easy organization. Seasonal decor is stored logically and is easy to access.
  • Fewer duplicates. You can avoid extra purchases because you can easily review all your current decorations.
  • Functional storage. Garages, attics, and guest rooms stay clean and usable.

Keep Christmas Decorations in Jolly Good Shape

Christmas decorations are often delicate, sentimental items that deserve extra care. Use sturdy bins for ornaments and padded containers for fragile figurines or outdoor wreaths. String lights should be wrapped around cardboard or reels to avoid tangling, and artificial trees need to be stored in upright tree bags or boxes. Remember to keep all your decorations dry and cool to preserve their holiday charm.

Make Room for Decorations When Spring Cleaning

When spring begins to wind down and summer starts settling in, it’s time to pack away the pastels and prep your home for a new season. Start by gently wrapping up delicate garlands, faux flowers, and table runners before placing them in shallow bins.

Easter decorations, spring wreaths, and bunny figurines can be grouped together in labeled containers to keep everything easy to find next year. As you go, you can take the chance to do a little spring cleaning, too!

No-Sweat Ways to Store Summer Home Accessories

Summer home accessories are usually lightweight and durable, but they still require some careful attention. Use stackable containers to pack up summer home decoration staples, such as beach towels or citronella candles, and store string lights in a cool, dry spot away from sunlight. Outdoor furniture should be covered to prevent fading colors or mildew growth, and summer wreaths can be hung from a strong hook to stay in good shape.

How to Store Halloween Decorations

Don’t let a mountain of cluttered Halloween decorations haunt your garage for months. Instead, wrap up light-up pieces, secure inflatables in labeled bags, and cushion ceramic pumpkins with thick bubble padding.

Various other items, such as fake tombstones and spider webs, should be sorted into clear plastic bins, as this will help prevent them from getting bent, broken, or lost. Just make sure not to pack containers too full, as this can do more harm than good.

Storing Fall Porch Decor as the Leaves Change

Faux foliage, wholesale fall decor, and rustic lanterns add cozy vibes to your home, but only for a few months. After autumn passes, box up your fall porch decor with care to preserve it for next year.

Store wreaths flat, place decorative pumpkins in stackable totes, and wrap any glass items in soft materials. By storing fall decor in a climate-controlled storage unit, you can enjoy a fresh porch setup without digging through dusty bins every September.
