The Benefits of Holiday Storage in Tennessee
Lock Box Self Storage
February 1st, 2025
The holidays are full of joyful celebrations and treasured traditions like decorating the Christmas tree with your family. But when the new year comes and it’s time to pack everything up again, it can be tough to know what to do with all the decorations, lights and ornaments around your home.
If you’re struggling to find space in your home or are looking for a stress-free solution, don’t worry. There’s better solutions than stuffing everything into a spare closet.
Where Are You Currently Storing Your Holiday Decorations?
If you’re like many people, you store all your boxes of holiday decorations wherever you have room: your garage, attic, basement or closets throughout your home.
But while keeping boxes in your attic and garage gets decorations out of the way, these spaces are often less insulated than the rest of your home. This can expose them to extreme temperatures and humidity – both of which can be very damaging to sensitive items over time.
Storing your decorations in closets is another option, but it can make your house feel disorganized and cramped. It can also get in the way throughout the rest of the year.
So what’s a better, more practical option? A self storage unit, where you can keep all of your decorations organized and in one convenient location. Let’s take a look at all the reasons why holiday storage is a smart decision here in Tennessee.
The Benefits of Storing Holiday Decorations
It Helps Protect Fragile Decorations
Glittering glass ornaments and charming ceramic figurines make the season feel special. Many of us have family heirlooms that have been passed down as a part of our family holiday celebrations for decades.
Many holiday items are fragile and need to be stored with care. The last thing you want is for treasured decorations to break or get damaged.
A self storage unit offers you a safe, secure space to keep your most fragile decorations. With a dedicated space to store your items, it’s a lot easier to keep things organized and free from damage.
Climate Controlled Units Preserve Holiday Memories
Many Tennessee storage facilities – including Lock Box Self Storage – offer both traditional and climate controlled storage. When it comes to storing holiday decorations, we highly recommend that you opt for a climate controlled unit.
Why? Tennessee’s hot summers, cool winters and humidity can all have a serious impact on certain stored items.
Many holiday decorations are made of temperature- and humidity-sensitive materials like vinyl, paper, wood and fabric. Art, heirlooms and vintage items should be treated with care too, as should any decoration with electronic components.
It’s well-worth opting for a climate controlled unit to ensure that your decorations remain in great shape for holiday celebrations to come.
Your Items Will Be Kept Safe
If you decorate your whole home inside and out, you’ll know that holiday decorations can be an expensive investment. Plus, certain sentimental items may even be impossible to replace. Make sure that everything remains safe by keeping them in a secure, high-quality storage facility.
When looking at a potential facility, always consider their range of safety features, such as 24/7 security cameras, on-site management and gated access. As well, ask to take a tour of the facility. Units should be in good shape with secure locks, and the facility should be clean, maintained and well-lit at all hours.
You Can Store Other Seasonal Gear Too
Seasonal storage isn’t just for Christmas trees and ornaments. If you’ve got some extra room in your unit, why not use it as a space to keep other off-season items?
Sports equipment, for example, can take up a lot of room in your garage or closets, especially if you’re not using them for months at a time. Stash away winter toys like sleds and snowmobiles when spring rolls around, and mountain bikes and pool toys when cold weather blows in.
You can also rotate your family’s wardrobe seasonally. Store bulky winter coats and sweaters during the summer, and tank tops and shorts during the winter. Keeping off-season clothing in your storage unit can help your closet feel more spacious year-round.
Your Whole Home Will Stay More Organized
If you’re someone who goes all-out for holidays, you likely have dozens of bulky decorations and boxes to store at the end of the season. Add in outdoor decorations, lights and artificial trees, and it can quickly become overwhelming to try and keep everything organized at home.
Storing boxes of decorations away from your home helps reduce the amount of clutter you’ll have to deal with. Plus, you’ll have more room to access the items you regularly use throughout the rest of the year.
Holiday Storage is Convenient
Rather than digging through crowded closets or pulling the car out to access boxes in the back of the garage, why not store your holiday items in a convenient, dedicated storage unit?
Having a dedicated space for just your holiday items helps you stay organized by keeping everything in one convenient location. And when you store at a facility that offers 24/7 access, you’ll never have to wait to access your decorations when the holiday season rolls around next year.
