Using Storage to Simplify Seasonal Decoration Changes

We always want to keep our home décor updated with the changing of the seasons and the different holidays they bring with them. This often involves a lot of decorations that only have use once a year which can cause a bit of a headache when it comes to taking down one seasons decorations and putting up another set of seasonal decorations. In today’s blog we will be looking at how you can take advantage of storage to simplify seasonal decoration changes.

Make use of Labels

A good labeling system can help keep your seasonal decorations organized and in the right place, so everything is easy to find when you need it. You should also ensure that these labels are clear and accurate as to what decorations are being stored as well as including important notes like “fragile” that remind you how to best handle your decorations.

Consider placement within your storage space

One of the most important ways to simplify seasonal decoration changes is to ensure that the right seasonal decorations are easily accessible at the right time. You can do this by considering where you place your decorations within your storage space. Keeping seasonal decorations in their own dedicated area is one option as you can always keep that area clear of large items, so it is easy to access. You could also store seasonal decorations with other items from the same season, ensuring that they are all rotated into an accessible position at the same time.

Use Clear Plastic Containers

Clear Plastic Containers will help you get an idea of what is being stored in each container with a quick glance, something that is not possible with non-clear plastic containers or cardboard boxes. Plastic containers also have a durability advantage over cardboard boxes making them easier to stack and store.

Utilize Shelving and Racks

Shelving and Racks are useful as they make it considerably easier to organize items than if you were just storing them on the floor. Items stored on shelves and racks are also better protected than items stored on the floor, there is less danger of something heavy being stored on top of them and less danger of an environmental issue causing damage.

Make use of a Storage Unit

A storage unit gives you a safe and secure space where you can store important items, including seasonal decorations. With a storage unit you can choose the size you need and organize it to your liking, making use of many of the techniques previously stated to get the most out of your storage.
