Holiday Organization
With the holidays approaching, set yourself up for success by organizing and refreshing your seasonal decor. Organizing and decluttering storage items simplifies the decorating process and give you more time for get togethers and moments of joy this season. Here’s our tips and recommends for a spectacular holiday organization space.
Declutter
As you look through seasonal items, take the time to sort and declutter. Organize any random items into a box with like items (i.e. that forgotten Halloween bat accidentally stashed in the Christmas box). Anything no longer useful or broken, donate or toss – no need to store items you don’t use. We naturally upgrade and replace items over time. It’s ok to let go of items and pass them along to someone else who could use them.
Storage & Organize
Large, stackable bins are the easiest way organize and stow away seasonal items. Our recommendations for storage containers:
- Clear and see-through. Clear storage containers allow you to see what is in the box itself and see what space you may have to add additional similar items.
- Sealed tight with a lid. Containers with lids is key – if your decorations are in storage, in the garage, or maybe a closet – we want to make sure those items are kept safe, protected from dust and damage. We would hate to have a family stocking damaged by a unwelcomed visitor or the elements.
- Labeled. This step is so important, see the section below!
Label
The key to solidifying any organization system: LABELS! With multiple holiday specific items in a space, labels remind everyone where they can find items and where to put them back! Especially if you have helpers to bring things out to help decorate. Labels keep everyone on the same page and are great reminders for seasonal items you only use occasionally.
