You can store up to 12 rolls of wrapping paper on a standard door with a wrapping paper door storage organizer.
Using a door-mounted storage rack can help keep wrapping paper rolls off the floor and out of the way, freeing up space in your closet or storage room.
A typical door has enough space to hold 2-4 sets of wrapping paper storage bins, depending on their size.
By utilizing your door space, you can keep your wrapping paper and other supplies organized and easily accessible.

Reducing Clutter
Reducing clutter is a great way to start your wrapping paper door storage journey. By decluttering your wrapping paper collection, you can free up space and make it easier to find the paper you need when you need it.
In the article, we discussed how a typical household can accumulate up to 10 rolls of wrapping paper per year. That's a lot of paper!
To reduce clutter, consider implementing a "one in, one out" policy for your wrapping paper collection. This means that for every new roll you bring into your home, you get rid of an old one.

According to the article, a cluttered wrapping paper collection can lead to wasted time and frustration when searching for the perfect paper. By keeping your collection organized, you can save up to 30 minutes per week.
Consider storing your wrapping paper in a designated area, like a closet or storage bin, to keep it out of the way but still easily accessible. This can help keep your home looking tidy and make it easier to find what you need.
Over-the-Door Storage Solutions
If you're looking for a simple and space-saving solution for storing wrapping paper, over-the-door storage is a great option. You can use over-the-door shoe organizers or storage racks to hang on the back of a door, providing easy access to your wrapping paper rolls.
For example, using over-the-door storage can hold up to 12-15 wrapping paper rolls, depending on their size. This is a great way to keep your wrapping paper organized and within reach.
Consider using a storage rack with individual pockets to keep your wrapping paper rolls separate and easy to grab. This is especially helpful if you have a lot of different patterns and designs to keep track of.
How to Assemble Over-the-Door Station
Assembling an over-the-door storage station is a straightforward process. Start by attaching the top and bottom of the frame to the door, leaving the middle section unattached to avoid damaging the door.
You'll need to add hooks and a bar to the top and bottom of the foam core door, which can be a bit tight when you add the track bar. This will provide a sturdy base for your storage station.
To maximize space, consider adding a ribbon bin above the wrapping paper and adhesive paper, allowing for long wrapping paper rolls to fit underneath. This setup worked nicely with the Elfa Media Rack, which helped keep the rolls upright.
Adding items as you go will help ensure everything fits properly. Place greeting cards in the center of the station for easy access and browsing.
Ikea Hack Notes
I've used the Valiera containers as over-the-door storage for wrapping paper tubes, and each one holds about seven regular-sized tubes. That's a great space-saving solution.
The Valiera containers are affordable, costing only $4.99, making them a budget-friendly option for organizing supplies.
