Do you have any other space in your home to store items? Garage? Another alternative might be to updo a dresser or anything that has storage possibilities. May need to be in another room but at least things would be organized. I have the same problem, my house is tiny, and on the west coast we do not have basements. All my holiday decor is in the garage. Craft items are in closets and anywhere else I can find to stash them. Not great for spontaneous crafting, but I am used to it. So I feel your pain, I am not fond of clutter either. Will keep thinking! ☺
Have you looked into the option of storing things on the ceiling of your garage?
If you have space under your beds, they sell flat bins on wheels. I store my Christmas decorations and wrapping supplies in them. They also keep the space dust free which is a bonus. If you don't like bins there are bed platforms which offer storage below.
Indoors, I like to use the high shelves in closets and the furnace room (if you can do it safely) for seasonal items but ...don't forget outdoors :) if you have a deck there may be space for a sturdy container or two of decorations. If you have a yard, you might have space for storage in the form of a shed or bench
as a dealer you know that you can find an old breakfront, functional if not pretty, for very little money. Put one in your basement or garage and load with those things you use for special occasions. They are fabulous storage, as you know. One-stop shopping, as it were, for your glassware, china, etc.
Since there are water concerns, have it set on top of 2 by 4's to keep it off the floor. Home Depot will cut them to length so there no warping/stressing from just supporting it at the ends. Or find a "flat" like everyone is using to make furniture now.
If the breakfront has legs, put the legs in plastic takeout containers. Every chair and table in our basement is in Chinese soup containers.
