✨ Store It Beautifully, Find It Easily ✨

Simple systems for the items you only touch once a year

As the holidays approach, it’s the perfect time to get ahead of the storage chaos. Whether it’s bins of ornaments, sentimental keepsakes, or those once-a-year linens — a little thoughtful organization now means less clutter (and less stress) later.

At Tidy with Trista, we love helping clients design systems that make everyday life smoother — especially when it comes to those once-a-year items that never seem to have a perfect home. Here’s how to create smart, simple storage that makes next year easier — and more joyful.

🏷️ Tip #1: Use Clear, Matching Bins

When you only reach for these bins once or twice a year, labels can fade and memories can blur. Clear, stackable containers let you see everything instantly and give your storage area a polished, cohesive look.

We often recommend this approach for attics, garages, and closets where visibility and uniformity make a big difference.

🪜 Tip #2: Go Vertical

Think beyond the floor! Wall hooks, over-the-door racks, and even ceiling bungee cords are great for storing bulky décor like wreaths and signs.

You’ll reclaim valuable space while keeping your seasonal favorites close at hand — one of our favorite tricks for maximizing smaller storage areas.

🎁 Tip #3: Protect the Meaningful Stuff

Keepsakes and delicate décor deserve a little extra care. Add silica gel packets for moisture control, and use smaller boxes inside larger bins to prevent breakage.

These small touches make unpacking next year feel like a joyful discovery, not a stress test.

From all of us at Tidy with Trista, here’s to cozy spaces, calm homes, and systems that make your everyday life a little easier — and a lot more beautiful. 💛
