Holiday Decorations"If you want to keep your garage organized, you need to keep it seasonal," says Monica Friel, a Chicago-based organizer with Chaos to Order. In the zone system of garage organization, items are stored in groups based on activity and frequency of use. Holiday decorations that come out for a week or two once a year should be stored together, but also out of the way. Storage systems like SafeRacks attach to the ceiling and create remote storage space, making them ideal for seldom used items like Christmas lights, Halloween goblins and the Thanksgiving scarecrow.
Consider storing holiday decorations in clear plastic tubs with color-coded tops: orange for Halloween, green for Christmas, red for Fourth of July.
