Now the holiday season has come to an end and you want to safely store or keep your holiday decorations so that you can use them next year. Maybe you will just wrap them and keep or store them anywhere in your garage. It is sure that you will do so in no time.

But when the next season comes, then it will be a daunting task for you to find those decorations. Thus, it is necessary to organize and store these decorations so that you can easily find them and use them for a long time to come. So, let’s master optimizing your garage space and storage solutions to safely and securely store holiday decorations until the next season. So, let’s start by using overhead garage storage racks:

Use Overhead Garage Storage Racks

Using overhead garage storage racks is perfect for storing seasonal items including your holiday decorations. Moreover, this underutilized space will maximize your floor space as you will keep those bulky storage bins containing your holiday decorations.

You can store those bins that are filled with wreaths, ornament displays, garlands, etc. at high space in your garage. Furthermore, it will be easy for you to move within your garage since you will clear the floor space by keeping such items off the garage floor. Your floor space will be free by using overhead garage storage racks. Now you can easily park your car and work on your workbench or even do some other activities as well.

Moreover, fewer items on your floor means more space to keep your sports equipment as well as other items that you use on a regular basis.

Use Plastic Storage Bins

You know that overhead garage storage racks are the best to store or keep holiday decorations, but it is also a must for you to know what types of storage bins you can use. Because some people use cardboard boxes and other types of fragile bins to store such items. Cardboard boxes do not last longer and don’t provide enough storage benefits when compared to plastic storage bins.

Plastic bins are affordable and can be used to store holiday decorations for a long time to come. Moreover, they are transparent; enabling you to find what you are looking for without the need of opening them.

As plastic storage bins are durable, they won’t be affected by wear and tear. These storage solutions last longer than those cardboard boxes since they are built from strong as well as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. Therefore, these plastic bins will have no negative impact from mold, pests, etc. So, now you can safely store your holiday decorations.

Further, plastic bins also save your holiday decorations from dirt and pests to keep them nice and clean inside. This is because they come with safe and secure snap-on lids.

What Not to Store in Your Garage

After using overhead garage storage racks and plastic storage bins, you know the best solutions to keep and the best place to store your holiday decorations. It is time now to know what you should not store in your garage.

However, you can store almost any decoration item in your garage if it is a climate-controlled garage. Variations in the temperature as well as more than enough moisture present in your garage are not good for certain holiday decorations items. Therefore, you should not store items that are made from fabric such as Christmas hats, tree skirts, tablecloths, etc.

Moreover, you should not store things like candles, glass items, antique ornaments, or food-based decorations.

Where to Store or Keep a Christmas Tree?

Now comes the time to store or keep your artificial Christmas tree. Garage space is the most suitable space since it contains that bulkiness. Moreover, you should not keep your Christmas tree uncovered in your garage. This is because there will be a lot of dust on this tree until the next holiday season comes.

So, you don’t want to waste your time cleaning a Christmas tree as everybody will be enjoying each moment of celebrating Christmas. So, it is already best to use a perfect space to store or keep your artificial Christmas tree.

In order to store it you need to use a proper plastic storage bin. Don’t store it in a cardboard box since it will be safer if you store or keep it in a plastic storage bin. Or you can use storage bags as well. But it would be better to use a container that has wheels. This is because it will be easy to transport and you can easily access it.

Now Label and Categorize Holiday Decorations

Now is the time to label or categorize holiday decorations that you have stored in overhead garage storage racks. Labelling and categorizing your holiday decorations will make it easy to find what you need straight away. You can even use different colors on storage bins. For example, you can use red to categorize Christmas items and can use black or other colors for Halloween decorative items.

When the next holiday season arrives, it will be easy for you to unpack those decorations; thus, saving your precious time so that you can fully enjoy your holidays.
