Christmas is in the air! At Lock+Store self storage, we see our customers visiting our facilities to retrieve their Christmas trees and decorations every day. Ensuring a clutter-free and organised space during the festivities can be a challenge. Lock+Store is here to make your holidays merrier with our festive storage tips. Read on to discover how you can keep the magic of the season while maintaining a neat and organised home.

5 Useful Tips for Festive Storage

1. Pack Smart, Decorate with Ease

   Start by organising your decorations into categories. Use sturdy, labeled boxes for ornaments, lights, and other festive items. Consider investing in plastic containers to protect delicate decorations from dust and breakage. Clearly mark each box to make unpacking a breeze next year.

2. Create a Gift Wrapping Station

   Designate a specific area for gift wrapping to keep the chaos in check. Utilise storage bins or shelves to store wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows. A designated wrapping station not only streamlines the process but also adds a touch of festive flair to your home.

3. Utilise Vertical Space

   Make the most of your storage unit by utilising vertical space. Invest in shelves to stack bins and boxes, optimising the available space. This not only keeps your items organised but also allows for easy access when you need them next year.

4. Document and Label

   Keep an inventory of items you store, noting which boxes contain specific decorations or holiday-themed items. Labeling is key to a stress-free holiday setup the following year. It ensures that you can quickly locate what you need without sifting through numerous boxes.

5. Temperature-Sensitive Items:

   For decorations and items sensitive to temperature fluctuations, consider opting for our air-conditioned storage units. This provides an additional layer of protection, preserving the quality of your festive decorations.

6. Secure Valuables with Care

   If your holiday traditions involve heirlooms or valuable items, take extra precautions. Wrap delicate ornaments in bubble wrap, and store valuable items in well-sealed, protective containers. Our secure storage units provide the ideal environment for preserving the sentimental value of your cherished possessions.

At Lock+Store, we understand the importance of preserving the magic and joy of the holiday season. With these festive storage tips, you can enjoy a clutter-free home and a stress-free holiday setup year after year. Let us be your partner in creating a space where memories can be made, and traditions can thrive. Wishing you a season filled with peace, joy, and organised cheer!
