25 Best Ornament Storage Ideas to Use in 2023

Keeping your Christmas tree decorations safe and organized may seem like a hassle, but it doesn't have to be. Just like your Christmas tree storage, you just have to give it a little thought in advance to plan it out. But once you do, you'll be so much happier when it's time to dismantle. And the great news is there are plenty of easy and affordable ornament storage options that will keep your baubles from being an organizational nightmare.

When it comes to storing Christmas ornaments, you can go one of two ways: You can buy a designated holiday ornament organizer or you can make one yourself from common household objects. Crafters and home bloggers have figured out plenty of creative DIY solutions and hacks—think organizers made from things like egg cartons, plastic cups, and even coffee filters. Just make sure to keep a rough count of how many ornaments you own, so you know how many supplies to buy before you commit.

If you decide to forgo the DIY route and buy an organizer, there are lots of options to shop, including under-the-bed storage or stackable containers you can keep in your attic storage or garage. Use them to organize whole sets of ornaments, Christmas tree toppers, and especially your family's irreplaceable heirloom ornaments. No matter which option you choose, this can be the year that you finally make sense of the holiday madness! Trust us, you'll be thankful you did it once it's time to decorate the Christmas tree again next year. 😉

Store up to 64 ornaments safely in this pretty gold organizer. The plastic material can easily be wiped down for a quick clean at the end of the holiday season.

Keep your décor cushioned safely in this sturdy, padded case. The winterberry design is super elegant, too.

Packing up a home full of ornaments should be a breeze. This storage box easily fits 128!

Organizing ornaments by color is a great idea if you like to switch up your themes every year. If you don't have room or enough ornaments of each color for plastic bins, try using plastic storage bags. Use tissue paper between them if they are delicate.

Have a lot of ornaments? This case holds up to a whopping 240 of them! They all stack neatly and then get whisked away easily, thanks to the wheels on the bottom.

Just because you're putting your decorations away, doesn't mean the process itself can't be decorative, too. If you purchase fun and festive fliptop boxes like this, you can organize your ornaments and easily identify them next year.

Big and oddly shaped ornaments need more space, so opt for a deep pocket organizer. This zip case has three removable trays that can hold up to 24 four-inch ornaments each.

If you've ever used an egg crate mattress pad on your bed, you know how cushioning they are! You can repurpose one by cutting it up and making layers of padding. Genius!

Tiny ornaments should get just as much love as the big guys! This set of 16 individual plastic boxes and one large carrier will ensure the little ornaments don't get lost in the dismantling.

Bubble wrap is one of the best ways to store delicate ornaments, but it can be cumbersome and time consuming to cut and wrap with it. Make your life easier with bubble wrap pouches. Just slide the ornament in and seal the top.

This is a great idea for families who have special ornaments. You can also personalize boxes for everyone to keep their keepsakes separate. Plus, that way you can entice the kids to help you put them away!

If you need to store an artificial tree, this two-pack is perfect. You have one big bag for the tree and a smaller one for your ornaments. We love that they match in a cute Santa print, so you'll spot them immediately in storage.

Save the drink holders you get during your weekly run at Starbucks to make stackable drink holders. You can also flip another tray over the top as a cover!

Keep things tidy in your closet with these stackable bins that come in a set of two. Each box fits 75 ornaments and comes with removable dividers for easy organizing.

Easily access all your ornaments at once with this three-tiered tray box. The deep red color is isn't an eyesore, either!

Make your own ornament storage box with plastic cups leftover from your family holiday party (the clean ones, of course!). Glue the bottom of each cup to cardboard dividers to keep things in place.

Pop open this super tall ornament organizer to easily take ornaments on and off the tree. And if you own a sizable collection, don't worry—this one fits over a hundred ornaments!

Slide this storage box under your bed and out of sight during most of the year. Cardboard dividers keep previous decor safe from sliding and breaking.

In December, decorative tins filled with cookies and candy are swapped all season long. Save and upcycle them into storage containers! These are sized perfectly to fit smaller ornaments in your collection.

Storing keepsakes in the garage or the attic can be dicey during bad weather. This durable tarp material will keep dirt and grime out!
