Storing Your Holiday Decorations

Posted on January 29th, 2019

Now that the holiday season has finally come to a close, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to tackle the post-festivities pack-up. By putting a little extra thought into how you’re going to store your holiday decorations, you can save yourself a lot of time and energy when the season rolls around next year. Our Chicago garage builder has a few tips to streamline your next celebration.

Overhead Racks

To get the most out of your garage space, try installing some overhead storage racks. Overhead racks are perfect for storing items that are bulky or rarely used, such as holiday decorations or old sporting equipment. Overhead racks help maximize your under-utilized vertical space and clear up walking areas.

Plastic Bins

Trade out those beat-up cardboard boxes for plastic storage bins. They’re sturdier, easier to stack and move around, and provide much better protection against moisture. If you opt for a clear plastic bin, you’ll be able to easily identify which items are stored where.

Color Code & Label

Make everything easier to find by color coding your storage bins. Try using a green lid for holiday decorations, an orange lid for Halloween, and a blue one for the Fourth of July. Go the extra mile by labeling them as well. This eliminates that time-consuming guesswork each time you try to find the decorations you’re looking for.

A well-organized garage is a lot more rewarding than it sounds. Contact our Chicago garage builder for more tips and tricks to make your life easier.
