Wondering how to organise Christmas decorations to make them ready for next year and avoid unnecessary stress? Getting ready for the festive season can be magical, but tangled lights and broken ornaments from last year can be easily avoided, with proper preparation and organisation.
Christmas decorations are normally collected and added to over the years, with each bauble and ornament holding precious memories. This is why at Your Store Exeterm we know that safe and efficient storage of the decorations is essential, to ensure their long life.
To help ensure your Christmas decorations are stored safely and properly, our storage experts have shared their top tips for making the process easy and stress-free.
Before packing, assess the condition of your decorations. Start by separating indoor and outdoor items. Outdoor Christmas decorations exposed to the winter weather may be damaged, while indoor ones might need minor repairs. Divide items into categories:
Organising your decorations by category helps streamline the unpacking process, categories such as:
By grouping items, everything will be easy to locate when it’s time to decorate again.
Once you have organised your items into categories, the next step is to pack them thoughtfully to keep them safe and ready for next year.
Simplify decorating next year by grouping items by colour. For example, pack red baubles together, green tinsel in its section, and so on. Not only will this make it easier when it comes to decorating next season, but also will allow you to evaluate if you need to collect more of certain colours.
Clear, resealable garment bags can store everything from lights to soft linens. The transparency allows you to see the contents at a glance, saving time and effort when setting up your decor. For added protection, use acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap to prevent fading or wear.
Clearly label each box to make finding your decorations effortless next year. Include details about the contents and their priority for unpacking. Write down what’s inside, like “Tree Decorations” or “Outdoor Lights,” and save yourself the hassle of searching.
