It can feel overwhelming to begin packing up your home, but with some pro tips in hand, you will speed through the process and make moving day less stressful.

Packing takes longer than you think, so start early. Start with the things you seldom use, like seasonal clothing or decorations. Pack in strong, various-sized boxes and ensure large containers are not packed with too many heavy items. Instead, pack books in small boxes and reserve the large ones for lighter, more bulky items such as bedding.

Wrap breakables in bubble wrap or a towel and stuff any gaps left over to keep things from moving around. Make sure you clearly identify the boxes by room and contents so that they do not get mixed up, or consider colour-coding.

Have an ‘essentials’ box for your first night (i.e. kettle, mugs, bedding/toilet roll). This will save you from digging through boxes if you end up needing something at 1am.

Remember, if you can take furniture apart do it! Tape labelled bags with the correct type of furniture and fill them up respectively so you know which one is for future fixing. Remember your cables. Consider taking pictures of complex set-ups (like electronics) before unplugging everything.

Lastly, pack a small amount each day so you will not get overwhelmed and ask for help from friends or family members if necessary. Every expert mover knows that the key to an uncomplicated move really just comes down to staying organised and consistently working.

Following these steps will save you time and your property, plus make moving easier on the whole.
