The holidays are months behind us now, and you're probably more than ready to transition from winter to spring decor. That means the chore of storing seasonal decor may be staring you right in the face. The good news? Keeping seasonal decorations organized and safely stashed away for easy access next year doesn’t have to be a headache. Read on for pro tips from the decor lovers here at Third & Main for storing seasonal decor.
How To Organize And Store Seasonal Decor
First things first. Assess what you’re dealing with in terms of quantity, scale and type. In fact, it’s helpful to group your pieces into season and type of decor. That will help you decide how many storage bins you need to properly organize everything.
For convenience, place items that you use strictly seasonally (or only once a year) into one bin and use another to store items that you regularly switch out—think throws, pillow covers, candles and faux florals. Keep the bins with items in regular rotation easily accessible. It can be very helpful to color code your bins, and it’s best to use uniform storage containers. That makes them easier to stack. Make a point of clearly labeling your bins so you know what you’ve stashed away.
Take note of what you reach for again and again—and what you reach past. Items that you no longer use don’t need to be stored indefinitely. Consider donating pieces you just aren’t using. Or, better yet, take advantage of Revive Decor here at Third & Main. It’s a marketplace where previously loved and incredibly well cared for items come to find a new home. Simply sign up to partner with us. We’ll supply a packing slip so all you need to do is pack your items with care and send them our way. We’ll list your items on our marketplace, and at the end of each month, we’ll send you a gift card for the value of your sold items. It’s good toward the purchase of any items side-wide!
The golden rule of storing seasonal decor is to pack things away neatly. You’ll be glad you did the next time you open your bin to freshen your decor, so take the time to neatly wrap breakables and carefully pack your items. Avoid making a mess for yourself down the road. Trust us, it’s worth it!
