After all the Christmas fun and decorations, the day when you have to start taking down the Christmas decorations has arrived. If you would like to enjoy your decorations for years to come, it is important to store your them in a proper manner, so next year you will find them in good condition. Here are some tips to store your decorations:
- Store in containers to prevent dust collection. Choose proper storage containers according to your decorations;

- Discard any decorations which have not been used;
- Choose transparent or coloured containers, so next year you can easily see the contents or find the box;

- Disregard any decorations which might have got damaged;
- Start taking down decorations room by room;
- If some decorations are specific to room, best is to store those decorations together in one container;
- Store your decorations either by category or by room;
- Breakable decorations wrap them bubble wrap or else place some soft material around them (for example wrap a Christmas table runner around the item);

- Once all decorations are down, store in your chosen containers and label them.

- Store everything in a safe place
The first couple of days, the house might seem bare but this would be the right time to start decluttering.
