I am trying to declutter my house but just cant think where is a reasonable place to store wrapping paper / present related stuff. Looking for inspiration! Thanks.

In the guest bedroom in a chest of drawers along with crafting stuff, spare toiletries and general overflow stuff.

Our garage! We have access to the garage from our house though which makes it easier.

In my gift wrapping room

I keep my wrapped paper in one of the Really Useful Clear Wrapping Paper Box (22 Litres).

On a box under my bed

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 23/10/2022 19:21

In the garage - and I don't have access from the house so it's a pain but I don't need it that often and it's easy to access there.

In a box in the loft

Starryskiesinthesky · 23/10/2022 19:30

See I did have it in our guest bedroom but we are hopefully (its taking a hell of a long time) going to have Ukrainian guests coming so I am clearing out!

i used to keep mine in the corner of the bedroom between a wardrobe and the wall. it was a narrow space, but big enough for the wrapping paper and the wardrobe kept it hidden from view.

Peggle2507 · 23/10/2022 19:32

In a draw under my bed. All the gift bags, wrapping paper, cards etc.

Starryskiesinthesky · 23/10/2022 19:34

I am coming round to thinking that the less space you have the less shit you keep.
And that this is a good thing.

I used to keep mine on a shelf in the cupboard under the stairs, but we have moved and it is now in the garage, where I suspect it might stay (no access from house, but doubt it'll cause too much drama).

In this - Wrap Fabric Storage Bag (82 x 34 x 13 cm) . For Paper, Tags & Bows amzn.eu/d/3e3hlRt but there are nicer looking ones 😊

caringcarer · 23/10/2022 19:36

In our Wooly Hole. When we had loft conversion done builders made cupboard on wall half way up into 3rd floor stairs. We call it the Wooly Hole. Suitcases go there to and all Xmas decorations.

I have wrapping paper storage bags from IKEA, highly recommend them. They are absolutely incredible and fit loads of rolls in, and tags, ribbon sticky tape, tissue paper etc. I have one for birthdays and one for Christmas, scissors and tape in each. They are both under my bed and lovely and compact, they have a handle so I just bring it out and everything is right there.

DilemmaDelilah · 23/10/2022 19:45

In a long IKEA storage bag under the sofa. In fact we have one for Christmas paper, tags and ribbons and one for birthday paper, tags and ribbons. And our sofa has legs.

Caughtupinsomething · 23/10/2022 19:51

@DilemmaDelilah great minds...

Iwritethissittinginthekitchensink · 23/10/2022 19:55

I keep folded wrapping paper in a magazine/box file on a bookshelf.

You could put rolls in a tall drawstring bag on the back of a door if you can find/make one.

wednesday32 · 23/10/2022 20:08

Mine is in my room between the wardrobe and wall. I have one of the boxes that wrapping paper is stored in, in the shops. Perfect size for at least 20 rolls so keep all year round wrapping in it x

pandora206 · 23/10/2022 20:13

Xmas wrapping paper is all in the loft with the decorations and cards. Other paper is in a storage bag tucked away down the side of a filing cabinet (with the sewing machine and other random bits).

Ffsmakeitstop · 23/10/2022 20:17

Between the wall and tall chest of drawers in bedroom. Tags and cards in wardrobe drawer.

In a big box in our home office. Keep an assortment of cards in the desk drawer. Very handy.

Sally2791 · 23/10/2022 20:20

Behind my armchair. Still can’t find anything when I look for it

Apartridgeinachestnuttree · 23/10/2022 20:22

The IKEA wrapping paper storage bags are great and hold loads. I have two Christmas and other which sit between the wardrobe and the wall in the spare room.
