Decorating your home is a significant part of holiday fun. Going all out every year is worth it, but it means a certain amount of hassle is necessary to get everything out and then repack it after the festivities are over. In addition, decorations take up valuable space and can be damaged when crammed into attics and closets. For this reason, many homeowners use storage units as a solution. Here’s a closer look at how to maximize this advantage.

Your Guide to Storing Holiday Decorations

Why Choose Self-Storage

Storage units are a private, dedicated space where you can organize and safely store your holiday decorations. You can bundle Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorations so that they’re easy to access at the beginning and end of each season. This frees up space for household items you use more often.

A storage unit means no more sorting through boxes in a cramped attic or basement. You can easily organize stacks by holidays and take out items as you need them. They’re also less likely to be damaged or make a mess. You won’t have to worry about unraveling hundreds of feet of tangled Christmas lights or breaking your favorite nativity scene statues.

How to Pick a Size

Start by determining how much space you need. The smallest mini-storage units are roughly 5 feet x 5 feet and perfect for storing up to 10 boxes of holiday decor. Consider going with 5 feet x 10 feet or 10 feet x 10 feet if you’re storing boxed items and lawn fixtures like life-sized reindeer and statues.

Before committing, consider space for organizing, too. You’ll need a clear 3-foot-wide path down the center of the unit to easily access all your boxes. You may also want to keep a small clear space where you can sort through boxes or wrap presents away from your family’s prying eyes.
