Most of the time, holiday storage is the last thing you think about, but inevitably that afterthought becomes a hassle once it’s time to deck the halls once again. Sure, you’ve curated the perfect ornaments, collected a few heirlooms, and maybe even developed your signature holiday decor scheme, but what about preserving it?
Wreath storage containers not only keep out debris, dust, and dirt during the off-season, but also keep your favorite decorations from warping. There’s a wide variety of storage options out there, including bags, hard plastic containers, and stackable bins, but the first thing you should consider is where you’re storing it in the house.
Do you need a fade- and water-resistant bag to store in the basement or perhaps a hard shell option to stack up in the attic that won’t flatten your wreath? Hanging bags are particularly effective at keeping your wreath’s shape, because they usually come with an internal suspension system to keep the wreath upright. Other containers feature steel-wire interiors or extra foam for protection.
Here, we’ve rounded up some of the best wreath storage containers on the market to suit a variety of budgets and wreath sizes. Whether you’re looking for a complete set to store several wreaths or need something a bit more heavy-duty for extra large decorations, there’s an option for just about everyone.
-
Hardshell sides and interior bottom
Reinforced handles
Water- and fade-resistant material
Comes in multiple sizes
Not a circular shape
Our top pick for wreath storage options is Hearth & Harbor’s sturdy, dual zipper storage bag. It comes in three sizes (either 24-, 30-, or 36-inches) so you can choose the right fit for you, and the hardshell, rigid sides are made with non-woven material so it won’t sag or collapse. We also love that it has reinforced handles for easy transport to your storage unit, attic, or hallway closet, and the bag is water-resistant, so it can stave off any moisture.
But it's really all about the overall design that makes this a standout choice: straps to secure your wreath in place and an interior pouch to hold any small goods or accessories (like brackets, hooks, or small and delicate decorations). And at just under $20, we think it's a great value, and you can be sure your wreath will be protected for many seasons to come.
Capacity: 24 liters (10.91 x 8.98 x 3.27 inches) | Material: Non-woven material
Best Value
Handy Laundry Christmas Wreath Storage Bag
Comes with two sets of straps
Excellent price point
Keeps out dust and debris
Not ideal for non-climate controlled spaces
Not stackable
At under $10, this is definitely the best deal on the list. Handy Laundry’s wreath bag has just about everything you’d want in a holiday storage container, including two straps and a pair of side handles.
We love that it also comes in three different sizes, so you can tailor it to your specific wreaths' dimensions. All of them have at least a 7-inch depth, so it’s still large enough to fit most wreaths, and comes with a convenient label on the outside so you know what’s inside.
While it’s far from luxurious material (it’s more tarp-like), it’s tear-resistant and will keep out dust, pests, and more. It does, however, veer on the flimsy side if it’s not fully packed. Plus, you can always get a few extra to keep other decorations, like garlands and even string lights, organized and protected.
Capacity: 24 x 7 inches | Material: Tarp
Best Stackable
Household Essentials Red and Green Storage Box
Square design allows for different types of wreaths
Holds up well during stacking
Transparent window to see what’s inside
No secure zipper
This hard-sided square option works well for stacking, especially if you really go all out decking your halls with decor. It can easily hold up to a 24-inch wreath (or garlands), and because it’s not rounded, you can also plan to fit an array of other holiday accessories inside.
One drawback is that it doesn’t have a zipper, but rather a fold over top, which isn’t especially secure. But, if you have multiple wreaths and want to be able to easily retrieve them without fumbling around with a zipper, you may not mind this minor inconvenience, especially since they come with transparent windows to quickly see what's inside.
There are also convenient handles on the sides to help you lift it up on a shelf during the off-season, or better yet, you can maximize unused space, and store this one under your bed.
Capacity: 24 x 24 x 7.50 inches | Material: Plastic
Most Versatile
Duomspiace Christmas Container
Holds extra large wreaths
Interior steel wire to help hold shape
Removable pouch for decorations
May be too large for some
New and improved for 2024, this wreath container is made of tear-resistant nylon, so it’s sure to withstand the test of time. It’s lined with steel wire, which means it’ll hold its shape and comes with a removable inner pouch that can hold Christmas accessories (like fragile decorations, hooks, or wall mounts). Plus, the pouch is around 7 x 7 inches, and it can hold plenty of small goods to keep everything organized.
The handy storage bag comes with dual-straps for easy transport, and it’s 30-inches wide, so it can fit even your largest wreath. The one downside is, due to its size, it’s not ideal for smaller wreaths and may slightly sag if you aren't able to fill it up.
Capacity: 30 x 30 x 7.1 inches | Material: 600D Oxford cloth and steel wire
Sturdy, hard plastic
Secure latch
Stackable
On the heavier side
For an extra-sturdy option that will last several holiday seasons and beyond, this Sterilite Nesting Christmas Wreath Box is another favorite. Since it’s made with hard plastic, you won’t have to be concerned with a sagging bag or worry that your sentimental wreath might get smushed in storage. Plus, it features a straight-forward latch, so you know it’s secure.
We love the transparent top, as well as the convenient handle that you can also hang up (depending on your hook). It can only store up to a 24-inch wreath, so it’s not ideal for extra large decorations. It’s also on the heavier side, at four pounds, which is much more than other selections on this list.
The good news is that the cover is indexed, meaning it’s stackable, so if you do purchase a few, they’ll fit snugly together on a closet shelf or in your garage.
Capacity: 26.38 x 24.75 x 7.25 inches | Material: Plastic
Best for Large Wreaths
TreeKeeper 30 Inch Wreath Storage Container
Direct-suspension hook from inside the bag
One year warranty
Durable with foam walls
Not stackable
TreeKeeper is known for its well-made, durable seasonal products, including this 30-inch green canvas wreath holder. Its handle hooks right into the wreath from the inside, which helps prevent warping and damage over time. It’s also fairly thick at 6-inches tall, making it a great option for more voluminous wreaths with bulkier decorations like poinsettias, flowers, and individual ornaments.
We like that it’s also extra durable with foam lined walls for protection and comes in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. It comes with a one year warranty and while it’s definitely more expensive than other bags on the list, it’s one of the best in terms of quality, durability, and size.
Capacity: 30 x 30 x 9 inches | Material: Polyester fabric
Final Verdict
For its price point, quality, and durability, the Hearth & Harbor Wreath Storage Container is our overall best pick. We like that it comes in three sizes (either 24-, 30-, or 36-inches), so you can choose the right fit for you and your wreath. Plus, the hard, rigid sides won’t sag or collapse. The TreeKeeper 30 Inch Wreath Storage Container is also a great alternative for extra large wreaths with delicate decorations. It’s fairly thick at 6-inches tall, making it ideal for more voluminous decor.
How We Chose the Best Wreath Storage Containers
For this list, we considered the most popular wreath containers on the market, looking closely at price point, water-resistant fabrics, durability, and size. We also included a range of materials, including hard plastic and canvas, and most every container has a carrying handle or straps to make them easy to access and transport.
How to Shop for a Wreath Storage Container
- Type of Container: If you really want to make sure your wreath holds its shape and won’t warp, a hanging bag is the best option (rather than a large bin). For example, we love the Duomspiace Christmas Container (our most versatile pick). It’s lined with steel wire and comes with a removable inner pouch that can hold additional accessories.
While plastic, all-purpose storage containers may work just fine, you'll want to pack around the space of the wreath with tissue paper to ensure it won’t bend or get crushed. - Your Storage Location: One of the most important things to consider before purchasing your wreath container is where it will be kept during the off-season. If it’s the garage or basement, you'll want to choose a wreath storage unit that’s a bit more durable in terms of material. You should select one that’s water-resistant and tear-resistant. For example, we like the Hearth & Harbor Hearth & Harbor Wreath Storage Container as our top pick. It has reinforced handles and the bag is water-resistant, so it's protected from moisture.
For indoor storage in a hallway closet, stackable or nesting options are always good to ensure the best use of space. If you prefer under-the-bed storage, look for a container that has side handles for easy access. We like the Household Essentials Red and Green Storage Box, which can stack easily and comes in a box shape with handles.
