The holidays are here and it’s time to decorate! This video is of me helping my client on Long Island, New York get ready for the holiday season by decluttering their Christmas decorations. We go through the Space to Love® 5 step method to simplify the process.
During the video you see my client and I go through two bins, but what you didn’t see is us going through each category pile by pile. During Step 3 - Select, we let go of anything that didn’t work or was broken. Any older decor and kids projects that where no longer displayed for the holidays, but they wanted to keep for sentimental reasons, we added to their memory box. Anything that they no longer wanted and was acceptable for donation, we donated to Angels of Long Island.
During Step 5 - Style, we reused the empty bins and applied labels. Here are some storage ideas for holiday decorations that were not included during the video.
Ornament Storage - The Container Store, Target, BedBath&Beyond, and Amazon.
Holiday Light Storage - The Container Store, Target, BedBath&Beyond, and Amazon.
Wrapping Paper Storage - The Container Store, Target, BedBath&Beyond, and Amazon.
Tree Storage - The Container Store, Target, BedBath&Beyond, and Amazon.
Holiday Decor - The Container Store, Target, BedBath&Beyond, and Amazon.
Most people don’t have time to declutter before the holidays, if this is the case for you then I suggest the following. After decorating take a look around and see what decorations you haven’t used. If you’re not using the holiday decor this year, chances are you won’t use them next year and you can let them go. This will help minimize the clutter from year to year.
Hope you found this helpful and Happy Holidays!!
