In a recent Rent.com article featuring expert advice on holiday decoration storage, Shara Koplowitz of Open At Home shared valuable insights alongside other industry experts.
Professional Storage Solutions for Delicate Decorations
Among the expert tips featured in Rent.com's comprehensive guide, Koplowitz offered a practical approach to protecting holiday ornaments.
Using stockings or Christmas tree skirts to cushion the bottom of the bin and layering with cardboard cut to fit the size of the bin adds extra security, ensuring the ornaments are stored safely,
Her recommendation stood out for its creative use of existing holiday items as protective materials. While other experts suggests specialized storage containers, Shara offers a sustainable method providing an economical solution using items most households already own.
Implementing Expert Storage Techniques
Building on Shara's featured advice, here's how to protect your holiday decorations:
Foundation Layer
Convert Christmas stockings or tree skirts into protective cushioning at the bin's bottom. This creates a shock-absorbing base that prevents breakage.
Structural Support
Cut cardboard to fit your storage bin exactly, creating stable platforms between ornament layers. This prevents weight distribution issues that could damage delicate pieces.
Individual Protection
As highlighted in the Rent.com article, individually wrap glass ornaments in bubble wrap or tissue paper. This extra layer of protection ensures each piece remains safe during storage.
Professional Insights for Long-Term Storage
While Shara's Rent.com insights focused on ornament protection, these additional storage considerations help preserve all holiday decorations:
Climate Control
Store bins in temperature-controlled areas to prevent damage from heat or humidity.
Organization
Label containers clearly and consider photographing contents for easy identification next season.
Material Selection
Choose acid-free tissue paper over newspaper to prevent discoloration of precious ornaments.
Looking Ahead
The storage solutions shared by Shara and other experts in the Rent.com article demonstrate how professional organizing techniques can protect holiday investments. By following these expert-recommended methods, your decorations will remain pristine for future holiday seasons.
