🏘Moving house can often be a stressful event, especially when it comes to packing up an entire house or flat.
⬇️To make life a little easier, we’ve come up with 10 ways to make moving home that little easier.
1. Start with the non-essentials.
Having to live out of boxes for a few weeks is not fun, so start packing the things that are used the least, and save the most frequently used bits until the very last.
2. Don’t empty the drawers!
You can waste a lot of packing space by emptying out draws. Where possible, just simply remove the draws and wrap them in plastic or cover with a bin bag.
3. Leave clothes on the hangers👗👔
4. Label your boxes🏷
One way to make the move easier is to label all your boxes. Having them labelled up with names such as which room they are from will make life easier, both for you and the movers. It’ll mean you can unload cars and vans much quicker and all the boxes can go straight into their new rooms.
5. Take a photo of the back of your TV 🖥
Do you remember which wire goes in which port? No we don’t either! So a great tip is to take a photo of the back of your TV before you unplug.
6. Make use of towels
Rather than packing up bulky towels, make use of them by using them to wrap up more fragile items or to use as padding in boxes.
7. Label the wires🔌
Try to keep wires wrapped up and labelled so you know what they are for.
8. Suitcases are not just for clothes🧳
Make use of your suitcases when packing. They don’t have to be used for clothes either, if you have suitcases with wheels, you can use them for heavier items such and then just wheel them onto the van rather than trying to carry a heavy box.
9. Plan your meals before moving day🥐
Packing up food can be a waste of space, and throwing away perfectly good food is just a waste in general. So one or two weeks before your moving day raid the fridge and freezer and plan out meals so you use as much food as you can before the big move.
10. Leave the vacuum until last!💡
Once you move out big furniture and your left with empty rooms, it might be polite to quickly throw the vacuum round one last time so that the new owners or tenants have clean floors to place their furniture on.
