Select a closet or area in your home to keep all seasonal decorations. If you have one spot for Christmas, another for Halloween and still another for spring, you'll never be able to find what you need or really know all you have. Since these pieces do not need to be displayed or in use throughout the year, you can safely store them in a closet or even under a bed. Since most decorations are made from varied materials, including paper, plastic, fabric, and glass, choosing a location away from light and heat is your best bet. <\/p>\n A clear plastic container can be used for all of your items if you don't have a lot, just divide it up with smaller inserts or containers. If you do have more items or have a lot for one specific holiday or time of year, multiple containers are better. Use a clear container so you can instantly see what you have and find what you need swiftly. Label the outside of the box with the contents so you know what you have. Wreaths and other dimensional items can be stored inside a pillowcase or in a specialty wreath case to prevent crushing. <\/p>\n Place large, heavy items on the bottom, then top with lightweight or fragile pieces. Wrap delicate items in a newspaper — both breakables and items that could be scratched or marred by other pieces can be protected with paper. Remove batteries from decorations to prevent leakage or damage and avoid storing paint, glue or liquids with your decorations. Slip all items into the storage you have chosen and place them in your target destination. <\/p>\n Put the most recent holiday or season on the bottom and rotate any stacked storage up; this way the next season will be ready to go when you need to make a change. When you unpack items, simply return the storage box and wrapping to the closet until you are ready to pack things away. You'll love having a decorated Cypress apartment and being able to safely store these items until the next year. <\/p>\n Not sure if you have enough space for storing decor?
