Moving doesn’t have to be stressful! Pack like a pro with our complete room-by-room guide and make your next move smooth and damage-free.
Living Room
🔌 Electronics: Take photos of wire connections before unplugging. Keep cables with their devices and label everything.
🖼️ Artwork & Mirrors: Use specialty boxes or crates, mark “FRAGILE,” and wrap generously with bubble wrap.
🛋️ Furniture: Disassemble what you can and keep hardware in labeled bags taped to the pieces.
📚 Books & Media: Use small boxes and pack books flat to protect the spines.
Kitchen
🍽️ Dishes & Glassware: Wrap each piece individually. Pack plates vertically and use cell kits for glasses.
⚡ Appliances: Clean thoroughly, secure moving parts, and use original boxes when possible.
🥫 Pantry Items: Toss perishables and pack spices/dry goods in sealed containers.
🍴 Utensils & Tools: Bundle similar items and wrap sharp objects in thick towels.
Bedroom
👕 Clothing: Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes. Vacuum seal off-season items.
🛏️ Bedding: Pack in clean sealed bags and label by room/bed size.

🛏️ Furniture: Remove mirrors, use mattress covers, and pad corners.
Bathroom
🧴 Toiletries: Use waterproof containers. Keep daily essentials in a separate “first night” box.
