The holiday season is a magical time filled with joy, festivities, and the inevitable task of decking the halls with seasonal decor. As the air turns crisp and the calendar inches towards the most wonderful time of the year, it’s essential to approach seasonal organization with a plan. Now that all your holiday decor is on display, plan to store it using IKEA seasonal organization items when you take them down.
Below are 10 steps to achieve beautiful and practical seasonal organization with IKEA products. Say goodbye to tangled lights and misplaced ornaments and hello to a stress-free and beautifully organized holiday home.
Assess Your Decor Inventory
Before diving into the world of organization, take stock of your holiday decor. Sort through your ornaments, lights, wreaths, and other festive items to determine what you have, what you will purge, and what may need replacing. This step sets the foundation for an efficient organizational strategy.
Choose the Right Storage Containers
IKEA offers a variety of storage solutions perfect for holiday decor. Invest in plastic bins, such as the SOCKERBIT series, to safely store the contents inside. These stackable containers are sturdy and will protect your precious ornaments from dust and damage.
Sort and Label
As you begin packing away your holiday items, sort them by category and label each container. This will make it much easier to locate specific items next year and prevent a scavenger hunt through boxes of mixed decorations.
Wrap Items with Care
Ensure the longevity of ornaments and wreaths by wrapping them properly. IKEA’s DIMPA storage bag is ideal for wreaths.
Utilize Drawer Dividers
Consider using IKEA’s SKUBB box set with compartments for smaller decorations like tree ornaments. These drawer dividers keep delicate pieces separate and prevent them from scratching against each other during storage.
Organize Lights with Cable Management
Tangled holiday lights are a common frustration. Combat this issue by using FINFÖRDELA, chopping board, or HÖGSMA cutting board to neatly wind your lights around to prevent knots and tangles.
Invest in Under-Bed Storage
Maximize space in your home by utilizing under-bed storage. IKEA’s storage boxes like the SOCKERBIT are perfect for stowing away items and keeping them out of sight until the next holiday season, right under your bed.
Create a Wrapping Station
Make gift wrapping a breeze by setting up a dedicated wrapping station. IKEA’s RÅSKOG utility cart is an excellent choice for storing wrapping paper, ribbons, and other essentials while in use. If you need a smaller setup, consider the ÖVNING desk organizer for your most used supplies, such as tape, pens, scissors, gift bags, paper bags, etc. When you need to store all your supplies for the season, the SKUBB Storage case for wrapping paper is your best option.
Store Festive Textiles
IKEA’s holiday-themed textiles can add a cozy touch to your seasonal organization. Consider using a GÅRDSMÄSTARE hanger and RENSHACKA cover to store throws, pillow covers, and linens when they’re not in use.
Establish a Centralized Holiday Hub
Designate a specific area in your home as a holiday hub where all seasonal items are stored. IKEA’s BROR shelving units can be customized to fit your needs, providing a centralized and stylish solution for your organized holiday decor.
With these 10 steps and the help of IKEA’s versatile and affordable products, you can transform your holiday organization routine from chaotic to calm. Enjoy a stress-free and festive season, knowing that your decorations will be neatly stored and ready to bring joy to your home year after year.
