If you rotate decor seasonally, practical question: where to put the off-season bouquet so it survives till next year?
Principle: store like books
Imagine it's an expensive book. You wouldn't throw it on a basement floor. Same rules.
Where
Good: dry closet, high shelf, hallway storage.
Bad: basement (humidity), garage (temperature swings), balcony (sun + frost), under the bed (dust + crushing risk).
How to pack
Rigid cardboard box, paper packing inside, lid closed. Label with contents and date.
Moth protection
Main storage enemy is moths. Add lavender sachets or cedar balls.
Conditions
18–22°C, 40–50% humidity — normal room conditions, stable. Not near radiators.
Storage life
2–3 years in the closet + 2–3 years of active use = theoretically 5+ years with a few "vacations" in storage.
