Keep all in designated clear boxes with labels — separate by lights, hanging decorations, mantle accessories, stockings and garland. LABEL.
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.
Measure the real opening and any obstructions before ordering, including hinges, handles, pipes and the room needed to pull something out. The best organizer is the one you can use comfortably every day, not necessarily the one that fills every inch.
