7 Christmas Storage Ideas
making set up & take down a joy
Christmas décor brings so much joy but storing it doesn’t have to bring stress. From tangled lights to broken ornaments, poor storage can take the magic out of the season before it even begins. Over the years, I’ve tested countless storage solutions and found what truly works. In this post, I’m sharing my top Christmas storage recommendations to keep your décor protected, organised, and ready for an easy, joyful setup next year.
1. Bauble/ORNAMENT box
A bauble box provides organised, protective storage, keeping delicate ornaments separated, dust-free, and safe from damage. It’s also very a very satisfying way to store your baubles!
2. tree bag
A Christmas tree storage bag protects branches from dust, moisture, and damage, keeps parts together, saves space, and makes storing, transporting, and reassembling the tree easier each year. When choosing a bag make sure you get the correct size for your tree. When storing add other items to the bag such as, your tree skirt and tree topper, this makes sure when you set up again next year you have everything you need.
3. WREATH BAG
A wreath storage bag keeps your wreath the correct shape and ensures festive wreaths stay fresh-looking and ready to display next season easily. Again make sure you order the correct size for you wreath and the amount of wreaths you want to store in the same bag.
4. ORIGINAL BOXES
Keeping the original boxes your decorations or crockery are sold in ensures you have the perfect sized storage for each piece.
5. CLEAR STORAGE BOXES
My advice on clear storage boxes is they need 3 things: lids, lid locks and wheels. Choosing clear boxes will allow you to see inside so you don’t have to rummage or label with too much detail.
6. NUTCRACKER STORAGE BOXES
Nutcracker storage boxes protect painted details, prevent breakage, organise figures by size, reduce dust, simplify packing, and keep treasured decorations safe, accessible, and ready for festive display each year annually.
7. Plate Storage boxes
Plate storage boxes protect fragile dishes from chips, cracks, and dust, keep sets organised, stack safely, save space, and make moving or seasonal storage easier and safer for home use.
I also love clever Christmas light storage…see these options below to make putting your string lights away stress free and opening them back up again next year a joyful surprise full of after value!
