Here’s how you can best organize your holiday decor in your garage with our expert solutions.
Optimize Your Space with Custom Storage Solutions

Overhead Storage Bins
For lighter, bulkier items such as artificial wreaths and garlands, overhead bins are a perfect solution. Installed on the ceiling, these bins utilize what is often underused space in the garage. This setup not only saves valuable floor space but also safeguards your items from moisture and pests, keeping them in prime condition year after year.
For those heavy or bulky items that are a challenge to lift, consider installing a motorized overhead storage system. These systems allow you to store items overhead and retrieve them with the push of a button, eliminating the need for ladders or heavy lifting. This addition is perfect for seasonal items like large Christmas trees or heavy wreath storage bins, making it easier and safer to access your decorations whenever you need them.

Slatwall Panels
A versatile addition to any garage, Slatwall panels allow for adjustable hooks and baskets that can be rearranged as your collection grows or changes. They are perfect for hanging large decorations like outdoor lights and larger wreaths, keeping them accessible yet out of the way. This system provides the flexibility to customize your storage setup seasonally or as your needs evolve.

Make It Accessible
Seasonal Rotation: Position your most frequently used decorations for easy access. Place items that you’ll use first at the front of your storage setup. As the seasons change, rotate the bins so that the next holiday’s decorations are readily accessible.
Step Stools and Pull-Down Hooks: Ensure that even items stored higher up are easy to reach. Integrating pull-down hooks and keeping a sturdy step stool nearby can prevent straining or accidents when retrieving or storing items.
Label and Protect
Label Everything: It may seem tedious, but labeling boxes and bins can save you a tremendous amount of time. Use clear, weather-resistant labels to mark the contents and the holiday they belong to. This simple step can make decorating and undecorating straightforward and quick.
Climate Control: If your garage isn't climate-controlled and you store delicate items, consider using airtight containers to prevent moisture damage. Alternatively, investing in a small climate control unit for particularly sensitive decorations like vintage ornaments or electronics can be a worthwhile investment.
