10 Steps to Organized Seasonal Decorations (2024)

FAQs

How to organize seasonal things? ›

Group everything by season or holiday, and then by type of décor. Store items that you use only once a year in separate bins from items that you switch out multiple times a year (i.e. seasonal candles or fake florals). Use uniform storage containers.

Cover any festive wreaths, garlands, and door signs—and hang them on a rolling clothing rack to help protect your holiday decor year-round. Or maximize storage space while also providing extra protection for items like tree skirts and holiday tablecloths by storing them in vacuum-sealed garment bags!

seasonal decoration means temporary ornaments and displays erected in conjunction with seasonal or holiday activities such as Christmas or Canada Day, where such ornaments and displays contain no local or general advertising of specific commercial services, merchandise, or entertainment.

Use Clear Storage Bins

When storing your seasonal decor, use large, clear bins to contain your items. Dedicate one bin, or multiple bins to each holiday. This makes it super easy to grab a bin that's only stocked with the holiday you need to set up for.

Group shoes and clothing by season and then further sort them into categories like everyday wear, special occasion and donation items. Store off-season clothes and shoes, ideally in clearly labeled containers, to keep current season items accessible and your closet organized.

Move around objects on your mantel or shelves to create a more visually pleasing arrangement. As a general rule, odd-number groupings are more interesting than evens. Arrange frames or objects in threes or fives for an eye-catching display.

Clear plastic storage boxes with tight-fitting lids are one of the best options. They'll keep out dust and moisture and allow you to see what's inside. Larger porch and yard decorations are often safest if they're left out and placed in a safe corner of your garage or storage shed.

Seasonal items are products that are available for a limited time only, usually during a certain period of the year. They may relate to a holiday, special event, or a change in the climate. Examples of seasonal items include winter jackets, swimsuits, holiday decorations, and pumpkin spice lattes.

Why decorate for seasons? ›

Decorate your home based on seasons not holidays. If you focus on purchasing décor that is in season versus decorations that follow every holiday, you will have more space, things will be cohesive, and you will be able to enjoy all of that seasons décor much longer!

Other methods of decorating textiles involve sewing. Appliqué is done by sewing fabric shapes to a larger background textile. Patchwork uses small pieces of fabric that are sewn together to make a whole. And embroidery uses colorful threads and different kinds of stitches to create decorations on textiles.

Group similar items together either by type or finish. For example, you could group together books, vases, linens, and artwork or group together glass, metal, wood, wicker, and fabric. By having your decor somewhat organized into groups, it will be easier to find what you need and see what you have.

Choose A Cool, Dry Place To Store Your Art

The cold and heat can cause your canvas to repeatedly expand and contract and, eventually, warp. You'll want a temperature-controlled storage unit or area of your home where the temperature and humidity are easy to control and keep consistent.

As a general rule of thumb for seasonal decor for Spring/Summer, Fall, Winter, switch the decor when the weather starts to change. If we're talking about holiday decor, add in your holiday decor about two to four weeks before a holiday. This depends on the holiday's importance, but is a good place to start.

Don't be unrealistic in your planning and schedule hours for yourself to declutter each day. Instead, schedule 15-30 minutes per day, or even 5 minutes if that's all you can manage. Write down the specific areas you plan to declutter during that time. On your calendar, make sure also to include monthly goals.

I place them in stacks of 4-6 with a styrofoam plate in between each one (the styrofoam plates protect the designs). I use two large pieces of plastic wrap and seal each stack completely. This is a military wife trick I learned from a friend who moves a lot. The plastic will keep all of the dust away from these plates.
