Christmas decoration storage can make a world of difference when it’s time to pack away your festive ornaments. Whether you wait until January 5th (12th Night) or prefer to start earlier, proper storage ensures your decorations remain safe, organised, and ready for next year’s festivities.
Here are our top tips for storing Christmas decorations safely and efficiently:
1. Protect Fragile Ornaments
Delicate baubles need extra care. Use egg cartons, plastic cups, or compartmentalised boxes to prevent chips and breakages. Wrapping them in tissue paper or bubble wrap adds an extra layer of protection.
2. Avoid Tangles with String Lights
Tangled string lights can be frustrating to untangle. Wrap them around a piece of cardboard or a spool before storing them. This small step saves time and hassle when it’s time to redecorate.
3. Preserve Your Wreaths
Wreaths can lose their shape if not stored properly. Use a dedicated storage box or hang them in a wardrobe to keep them in pristine condition.
4. Label Your Storage
Clear tubs with labels make a big difference. Label each box with its contents—such as “baubles,” “lights,” or “wreaths”—to save time and effort next year.
5. Store in the Right Environment
Decorations last longer when stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas prone to humidity or extreme temperatures, like attics or garages.
