Smart Wreath Storage Ideas to Save Space and stay Organized

Have you ever spotted a gorgeous spring wreath at the store or found a DIY Christmas wreath you’d love to make, only to think, Where am I going to store this once the season is over? Check out our wreath storage ideas!

Wreaths can be bulky and challenging to store, and if you’ve purchased one, you’ll want to keep it in good condition for next year—especially since store-bought wreaths can be expensive. And if you’ve crafted your own using one of our DIY wreath tutorials (check out our wreath corner here), you definitely don’t want it getting damaged.

The best way to store wreaths while keeping them looking beautiful is key! Let us help you find the perfect storage solutions for your needs.

This post is all about Wreath Storage Ideas!

Why Does Proper Wreath Storage Matter?

Whether you’ve spent your hard-earned money on a wreath or dedicated hours crafting one, it’s worth taking the time to store it properly. Proper storage not only protects your wreaths from damage but also makes decorating effortless next time you bring them out!

Without the right storage, wreaths can: 

• Lose their shape and become flattened.
• Collect dust, making them harder to clean before the next season.
• Get tangled with garlands or other decorations.
• Be a hassle to find when it’s time to decorate

By taking a few simple steps, you can ensure your wreaths last for years to come!

Best Storage Solutions for Wreaths

Hanging Wreath Storage: The Easiest Way to Store Wreaths

Hanging your wreaths is one of the best methods for proper storage—it keeps them out of the way and minimizes damage, especially for larger wreaths that won’t fit in average sized storage bins. If you have vertical storage or can create some in your storage room, this is an ideal solution for keeping your wreaths safe and organized.

1. Wall Hooks

If you have an unfinished basement, storage room, or extra closet, consider using screws or Command hooks to hang your wreaths off the floor. For extra convenience, you can also use clothing hangers, s hooks, or shower hooks

2. Grid Wall or Pegboard

For those with multiple wreaths, installing a grid wall or pegboard is a space-saving way to keep them neatly arranged.

• Pegboards can be found at your local hardware store.
• Hanging grid walls are available online—here’s a link to one I’ve used before

3. Rolling Racks

Another great option is investing in a rolling rack, allowing you to hang several wreaths in one compact area while keeping them easily accessible. If you make wreaths as a hobby or for craft shows, this method is a game-changer!

Container Storage: Keeping Wreaths in Tip-Top Shape

When searching for wreath containers, you’ll find all kinds of options. However, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on fancy storage—you just need something that protects your wreaths from dust and damage.

1. Plastic Garbage Bags

You probably already have this storage solution at home! — Simply cover your wreath with a garbage bag, tie the ends, and hang it from a clothing hanger or hook. You can even hang it from steel beams in your basement. This method works well if you need an immediate DIY solution.

2.  Clear Bins

If you have smaller wreaths, storing them in clear bins can be a great way to protect them from dust while keeping them visible. However, many holiday wreaths are too big to fit efficiently in standard bins. If you don’t have any clear containers to use, be sure to label them. 

3. Fabric Wreath Containers

If you want something a little more official than a garbage bag, wreath bags are typically affordable and can sometimes hold multiple wreaths while keeping your storage area looking organized.

I love these Buffalo plaid wreath storage bags or these clear bags, which make it easy to see inside.

4. Hard Plastic Wreath Boxes

The plastic wreath containers provide heavy-duty protection, but they take up a lot of space and can’t be easily hung. They’re a great option if you need to protect your wreaths from weather, pests (like mice), or during a move. Here’s a multipack I found on Amazon.

5.  Original Wreath Boxes

If your wreath came in a cardboard box, storing it back inside is a great way to keep its shape. However, I personally don’t prefer cardboard, as it tends to attract spiders. So I personally see this as a temporary solution at best. 

Extra Tips for Keeping Your Wreaths in Pristine Condition

• Use tissue paper or bubble wrap to prevent delicate wreaths from getting crushed.
• Store seasonal decorations together to make setup easier next year.
• Label your storage bins so you know exactly what’s inside.
• Keep wreaths upright to maintain their shape—hanging storage is great for this!
• Use zip ties or pipe cleaners to secure wreaths if they’re stored in bags or bins.
• If you have enough space, create a designated ‘wreath storage space in your home.
