Half the fun of the holidays is decorating your space with sentimental pieces and twinkling lights, but what happens after the celebrations are over? Now is the time to think of a holiday storage solution, especially if your wreaths and tinsel are starting to pile up.
Here are some practical tips to keep your decorations safe, organized, and ready for next year.

Your priceless and fragile decorations need extra attention. To ensure their safety not just in storage but also in transport, use storage containers with dividers, or create your own dividers with cardboard or another soft material. Additionally, you can wrap ornaments individually with bubble wrap or packing paper.
Want to save time next year? Label your storage boxes with what is inside. By doing so, you can eliminate the guessing game when you’re searching for specific items later. Assign categories to each box, and use those to place similar items together in your storage area.
Nobody loves untangling a mess of holiday lights. You can avoid this hassle by wrapping your lights around a piece of cardboard or using a spool holder. This will keep them tidy for next season.
Wreaths can lose their shape when jammed inside a bin. Invest in a wreath storage bag or hang them on a hanger in your closet. For extra protection, cover them to keep dust out.
If you’re struggling to find holiday storage for all your decorations, self storage can offer the extra space you need.
At Load and Lock Self Storage, our drive-up storage units offer a convenient way to store your holiday decorations and other items. With various size options, you can store everything from small boxes to large inflatables.
Our storage units are equipped with top-notch security features, including 24-hour recording cameras and keypad access to the facility.
Use the end of the holiday season to tidy up other areas of your home. Change out seasonal goods in anticipation for the next holiday, and organize your storage space to allow for quick retrieval of the items you plan to pull out in the next few weeks or months.
Take inventory of your decorations as you pack them away. If you have any broken or no longer used products, now is the time to get rid of them. Donate lightly used décor and keep only what is most important to you.
