Keeping your holiday decorations neat, protected, and easy to access doesn’t have to be stressful—especially with smart storage habits and the right storage solution. Whether you’re packing away ornaments in Boca Raton, organizing lights in Fort Pierce, or storing your entire holiday setup in Pompano Beach, having a clean and organized system makes decorating (and un-decorating!) a breeze.
If your home is running out of space during the off-season, My Stack Box portable storage containers offer a convenient, climate-conscious, and secure way to keep your holiday décor protected all year long.
Below are the best tips for storing and organizing holiday décor—perfect for Florida’s warm climate and active households.
Best Places to Store Holiday Decor in Florida
1. Closets
A closet is a great, temperature-controlled spot for holiday storage. Just be sure bins are sturdy enough to avoid crushing or warping in tighter spaces.
2. Garage
Garages in South Florida can get hot and humid. If storing décor in the garage, keep items on shelves along the wall shared with your home—these areas are typically less exposed to heat and moisture swings. Use plastic bins to keep décor dry and organized.
3. Attic
If your attic isn’t climate-controlled, choose airtight, stackable bins to protect items from humidity, heat, and pests.
4. Under the Bed
This is a great way to keep ornaments and small décor pieces in a cool, pest-free area. Slim, latching containers work best.
5. Guest Bedroom
If your guest room sits unused most of the year, tuck holiday bins into the closet, under the bed, or along the wall.
6. Shed
When indoor space is limited, a shed works—just make sure everything is sealed in airtight bins to keep out moisture, dust, and insects.
7. Portable Storage Containers (Best for Florida Homes)
If you’re short on space—or want to keep décor protected without cluttering your home—My Stack Box portable storage containers offer a secure, weather-resistant, on-site solution. Keep your items close to home without sacrificing space in your garage, attic, or closets.
Top Holiday Decor Storage & Organization Tips
1. Declutter Every Year
Holiday items add up fast. As you pack up, set aside anything damaged, outdated, or unused. Donate duplicates or décor that no longer fits your style. This keeps your collection manageable and saves space.
2. Categorize Everything
Group items by type—ornaments, lights, wreaths, stockings, figurines, outdoor décor—or by room. This makes decorating next year much faster and eliminates the annual “where did I put that?” struggle.
3. Invest in Proper Storage
Quality bins and ornament organizers protect your décor from Florida’s humidity. Choose sturdy red or green holiday bins and protective containers with divided sections for lights, ornaments, and delicate collectibles.
4. Store Wrapping Supplies Separately
A dedicated holiday wrapping station—store-bought or DIY—keeps paper, bows, bags, ribbons, scissors, and tape easy to find. Use one large bin and divide it into smaller containers for organization.
5. Keep Holiday Pillows & Blankets Fresh
Wash your holiday linens before storing them. Airtight containers prevent musty smells and protect fabrics from humidity or temperature fluctuations.
6. Don’t Hang Garlands & Wreaths
Hooks can distort fibers and leave permanent indentations. Instead, store wreaths and garlands in protective bins or heavy-duty storage bags.
7. Label Everything
List items on an index card or label taped to the front of each bin. This uniform system saves you time and prevents needless digging.
8. Frame & Preserve Holiday Keepsakes
Keep cherished holiday letters, drawings, or family artwork protected by framing them. Wrap frames in bubble wrap and store them flat to avoid damage.
9. Sort Holiday Photo Cards
Instead of saving every card, keep only those with meaningful messages or photos. Store favorites in a memory binder to enjoy each holiday season.
