If you’re about to move into a new home and have no idea where to start, what to pack first, or how to tackle it all, we’re here to help bring calm to the chaos with this easy four-step guide.
- Create an inventory of household items: Compiling this list helps keep track of what has been packed and ensures that nothing goes missing during transit. Most moving companies may also require this list to provide an accurate quote.
- Allocate a designated packing area: By keeping essential packing supplies such as boxes, tape, markers, labels and packing materials in one central location can help avoid unnecessary frustration and delays. This ensures that everyone involved in the move knows exactly where to find what they need.
- Declutter before packing: Moving presents an ideal opportunity to assess what is truly needed and to donate, sell or get rid of any unused items. A lighter load also makes both packing and unpacking easier.
- Pack in a logical order: Items that are not used regularly should be packed well in advance, while everyday essentials should be left until last. This approach not only reduces disruption to daily life but also provides a clear sense of progress as moving day approaches.
