It’s that time of year again — or maybe it just ended.
Either way, your holiday decorations are about to go back into hiding. The only question is: how well will they survive until next Christmas?

Every year, many of us face the same chaos: tangled lights, broken baubles, dusty wreaths, melted candles…
It doesn’t have to be this way.

With just a few smart storage tips, you can protect your holiday decor — and make unpacking next season something you actually look forward to.

Why Christmas decorations need careful storage

Holiday decorations are often fragile, oddly shaped, and used only once a year.
That makes them uniquely tricky to store.

Common problems:

  • Glass ornaments get crushed or shattered
  • Lights tangle or break
  • Heat & humidity can fade colours, melt candles, or weaken adhesives
  • Moisture in basements = mouldy garlands and ruined fabric
  • And worst of all: you can’t find half your stuff next year

💡 Good storage isn’t about hiding your Christmas gear — it’s about preserving the magic for next year.

5 smart tips for storing your Christmas decorations

  1. Sort & label everything
      Separate tree decor, lights, candles, and tableware – and label clearly.
  2. Use proper protection for fragile items
      Glass ornaments? Try egg cartons, foam trays or specialty boxes.
  3. Wrap and wind lights properly
      Use cardboard sheets or reels to avoid the yearly “light knot.”
  4. Store candles in a cool, dry place
      Avoid attics or areas with big temperature swings.
  5. Choose a dry, well-ventilated space
      Avoid mould, mildew and musky-smelling Santa hats.

When holiday decor takes up more space than you have

Decor tends to accumulate over the years — and suddenly, your hallway closet is stuffed with wreaths and reindeer.

If you’re running out of space (or patience), ask yourself:

  • Do I have a safe place to store decorations all year round?
  • Is my attic or basement actually dry and temperature-stable?
  • Am I tired of repacking and reorganising everything each year?

If any answer is “yes,” it’s time to try a better solution.
