Moving to a new home can be both exciting and overwhelming so today, I’d like to share some invaluable packing tips to make your move smoother.
- 1️) Start Early & LABLE LABLE LABLE: Last-minute packing is stressful and can lead to disorganization in moving and unpacking. Begin with items you rarely use and work your way towards daily essentials. That way you can have some of your more seldomly used things packed as soon as you have a contract accepted and not feel the impact of missing them. Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to as you pack. This simple step will save you the time and stress of forgetting what you put in the box.
- 2) Get Packing Supplies: Stock up on sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Optimize space using smaller boxes for heavier items and larger ones for lighter possessions. (CLICK HERE FOR MY POST ABOUT WHERE TO GET BOXES FOR FREE)
- 3) Purge & Donate: Moving is a perfect opportunity to declutter! Sort through your belongings and donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. Lightening your load makes packing and unpacking easier and gives you a fresh start in your new home.
- 4) Use Proper Padding: Fragile items need extra care. Wrap breakables individually in packing paper or bubble wrap. Fill gaps in boxes with packing material to prevent shifting during transport.
- 5) Pack an Essentials Box: Pack a special box with essential items you’ll need upon arrival, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, and important documents. Having these essentials within easy reach will save you from rummaging through boxes amid the stress of moving.
