Moving home sounds exciting, but it’s never a stress-free operation as quite often we don’t know where to start. You’ve to contact utility companies, clean your entire house prior to your leave, appoint a moving company, and not to say pack all your valuables. So, how to pack your house to move and ensure you don’t forget something during the process.

Start Packing Well in Advance of Your Moving Day:

The standard time it requires to pack all your belongings relies predominantly on their number. However, we recommend that you should begin the process much earlier than most people think. For a large home, 2 months should be adequate if you pack a single box a day. For smaller houses, one month would be fine. Yes, there’s no fix number, but you get the idea eventually. 

Start with Items and Rooms That you Don’t Use Regularly:

For example, you can first start with the rooms that are on the highest floor, particularly if you’ve a loft, and then, move your way towards the bottom floors. Seasonal stuff you are presently not using like coats, garden tools, and Christmas decorative items are ideal instances of belonging you can wrap before you take care of anything else. 

Declutter & Donate:

Prepare a list of unwanted items and give them to a charity before you move. There’s also eBay, so your options are plentiful. 

Prepare a Thorough Inventory List:

This is really useful if you’ve a large collection of CDs, books, etc. It is all right, if you pen down just “Books” on the labels of your moving boxes. However, if you’ve specialized literature collection, which isn’t kept in a single room, it is recommended to type out detailed inventory lists. By doing so you can upload the spreadsheet on your phone, while you print out & stick copies to every box. 

Don’t Surpass The Limit of Thirty Pounds Per Box:

This is really important if you’re moving abroad, as there’ll be many more moving boxes to pack for sure. You might experience a back ache or one of the boxes mightn’t be able to bear the load when relocating it. Pack heavy stuff in small boxes and light stuff in large boxes. Believe us this packing trick alone can save you a great deal of pain…literally.
