Edit when it’s time to put away. Keep sentimental or valuable items or give to a family member. If you haven’t used them for the past 2 years, consider donating, passing on to a friend or family member or donate to church or charity.
Store pieces by occasion and use, not simply wherever they happen to fit. Label the outside of each container with enough detail that next season you can find the right box without opening them all.
Decide what deserves space based on actual use, condition, meaning and the room you have—not just what it originally cost. Give anything leaving the house a specific next destination and a date to move it along.
