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