Puffer jackets in summer, fans in winter, ski gear in the basement, tangled fairy lights in random drawers – we’ve all been there.
The reality? You don’t need everything you own at all times of the year.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the seasonal stuff piling up in your hallway, closet or garage, you’re not alone.
This guide will show you how to store seasonal items efficiently and safely – so you can enjoy more space and less chaos all year round.
Step 1: Know what to store – and when
Start by dividing your items into two categories:
- Once-a-year items: think Christmas decorations, camping gear, seasonal sports equipment
- Seasonal rotations: winter coats, beachwear, fans, heaters, garden tools, etc.
Ask yourself: When will I realistically need this again?
If the answer is “not for months” – it’s a clear sign it’s time to store it.
Step 2: Declutter before you store
Don’t just pack everything away blindly. Go through each item and decide:
- Keep – useful and in good condition
- Donate – still usable, but not for you
- Discard – broken, outdated or never used
💡 The “keep, donate, discard” rule works wonders for seasonal storage. Don’t turn your storage into a junk drawer.
Step 3: Store it right – item by item
Not all items should be stored the same way. A few smart examples:
- Winter coats & puffers: store in vacuum bags to save space
- Camping gear: waterproof containers + dry bags
- Holiday decorations: wrap lights around cardboard, use bubble wrap for fragile ornaments
- Shoes & boots: stuff with tissue to hold shape
Bonus tip: Label your boxes clearly and keep an inventory – digital or handwritten.
Step 4: Maximize your at-home storage (if you have it)
Use these tips to make better use of your own space:
- Install wall-mounted racks in garages or closets
- Use under-bed storage and high shelves
- Rotate items out seasonally, keeping only what you actually use nearby
Still running out of room? That’s where we come in.
