As the holiday season winds down, it’s time to safely store your Christmas decorations for next year. EZ Access Storage has everything you need, from expert storage solutions to helpful packing supplies, to ensure your cherished holiday items remain in pristine condition. Here’s a step-by-step guide to organizing and storing your Christmas decorations efficiently.
1. Packaging Fragile Ornaments
Breakable ornaments like bulbs and glass figurines require extra care to prevent damage. Use these tips to keep them safe:
- Invest in Dividers: Utilize ornament storage boxes with dividers to keep items from bumping into each other. If you don’t have specialized boxes, cell boxes or cardboard dividers work well.
- Wrap Individually: Wrap each ornament in bubble wrap or acid-free tissue paper. For added protection, layer the bottom of the box with packing peanuts or crumpled paper.
- Label Clearly: Mark each box with its contents (e.g., “Glass Ornaments”) for easy identification next year.
EZ Access Storage offers high-quality moving boxes and packing supplies to make this process a breeze. Check out our packing supplies for all your needs.
2. To Clean or Not to Clean?
Wondering whether to clean your decorations before or after storage? The answer depends on the item:
- Before Storage: Wipe down plastic, metal, or glass decorations to remove dust and moisture that could cause discoloration or damage. Let them dry completely before packing.
- After Storage: Items like fabric stockings or tree skirts are better cleaned right before use to remove any dust collected during storage.
A little maintenance now ensures your decorations will sparkle next season!
3. Choosing the Right Storage Unit
EZ Access Storage provides two types of storage units tailored to your needs:

4. Strategic Storage Placement
For easy access next holiday season, place your Christmas decoration boxes near the front of your storage unit. If you’re using one of our premium units with dual doors, you can store items for year-round use on one side and holiday decorations on the other for seamless organization.
