We know moving is stressful for many of us. But we also know that how you prepare for the big day is critical to reducing that stress as much as possible. Here are our favorite moving tips to help you prepare for move day:
1. Space-saver bags (or vacuum sealer bags) are great for packing and storing linens and bulky clothing. You'd be amazed how much easier it is to move a bunch of pillows when they are condensed. Find these on Amazon or at your local home store.
2. Don't overlook the versatility of towels as packing material. They provide excellent cushioning for delicate items, such as dishes and china, and can be a cost-effective solution for protecting your belongings during the move.
3. Avoid the frustration of finding out that your furniture doesn't fit in your new place on the move day. Take the time to measure your furniture and make a layout plan. This simple step can prevent last-minute surprises and delays.
4. Make a move-day box with all your essentials, including necessities such as a first aid kit, scissors, cleaning supplies, snacks, light bulbs, paper towels, toilet paper, phone chargers or portable batteries, and important documents.
5. Move lampshades yourself in a car. Lampshades are often too big to pack in a box yet too delicate to be padded and moved on their own. Even when everything else is padded and wrapped, they can easily be dented and punctured. Move them in a personal car for safekeeping!
