Keeping up with swapping out and packing away your seasonal décor can be more of a trick than a treat! With Thanksgiving and Halloween just around the corner, and Christmas not far behind, changing out holiday décor can easily become a chore. But don’t worry! Here are some simple tips to help make decking your halls, spooking your space, and giving thanks easier.

1. Keep It Simple

When it comes to holiday décor, less can be more. Aim for a curated collection that reflects your style without overwhelming your space. By focusing on a few key pieces per season, you’ll simplify both decorating and storage.

2. Re-evaluate Regularly

Each season, take the opportunity to reassess your décor. As you unpack your Halloween ghosts or your Thanksgiving pumpkins, consider whether they still fit your style or if they should be retired. If you opt not to display an item, consider letting it go permanently. Similarly, when packing items away, check for any that may need repair or replacement. This regular evaluation ensures your collection remains fresh and manageable year after year.

3. Separate by Season

Organization is key. Use separate bins or boxes for each holiday to avoid mixing up decorations. If a season’s décor spans multiple containers, keep them together on the shelf so they are easier to find. Clearly defined categories for Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and other holidays will not only make decorating easier but will also save you time when it’s time to pack up.

4. Label Everything

Concise labeling is a must. Mark each box with its contents and the season it pertains to. This simple step can save you from rummaging through multiple boxes to find that perfect Easter centerpiece or Christmas wreath.

5. Easy Access

Keep your seasonal décor in a location that’s accessible and convenient. Storing your boxes in a closet or attic that is difficult to access can make decorating and packing away more of a hassle.

With these simple steps, you are sure to stay ahead of the seasons and never be caught with an Easter bunny at the Thanksgiving table!
