Organizing for the Holidays
Tip #1 Store Holiday Decor in Less Valuable Real Estate
Since holiday decor is accessed less frequently, it's best to put it in less valuable real estate spaces such as the top shelf of a garage rack or on a ceiling rack. This will save space in the valuable real estate areas for the items you need to access more often.
Tip #2 Use Holiday Bins
There's nothing more delightful then pulling your Christmas decor out of holiday bins. It will make you feel better knowing you stored them with care.
Not only do they look good, but make distinguishing your Christmas decor from the rest of your stuff a lot easier. Plus, they are more stable then boxes or mismatched bins when stacked.
Tip #3 Sort & Purge Your Holiday Items
Holiday time is the best time to sort and purge your holiday items. Sort items into categories of like items like ornaments, gift wrapping and decor. Use this time to also get rid of broken and outdated items. Come next Christmas, holiday decorating time will be so much easier and faster.
