Make a detailed list

Before you start packing furniture and belongings, make a moving list that includes tasks related to all rooms in the house and the order in which they need to be done. For example, start packing rooms and furniture or items that you don't use on a daily basis, so you can pack them even a few weeks before your upcoming move.

Choose small and medium boxes

Every move requires several boxes of various sizes to carry all the items. A large box may seem like a good idea as it will hold more items, however, it has the disadvantage that it cannot be easily transported and in some cases cannot be transported at all due to its weight. Therefore, prefer medium boxes, because even if you need more, they will be more convenient and easy to use in terms of transporting them.

Start packing with small items

Decorations or other items of small size are the ones that should be packed first in order to proceed, then the packing of furniture or items of a larger size and volume. That is, after you arrange the secondary elements of your space in boxes, it will be easier to pack the essentials, such as furniture and household appliances.

Pack a suitcase

What will this suitcase contain? The absolute essentials for the first 24 hours after your move. This way, you won't have to open all the boxes and search for your personal, but not necessary, items. Having the essentials immediately available, you can start placing the items in your new home in the order and the way you wish.

Close packaging and moving company

Contact the professional of your choice several days or even weeks before your moving date, and describe in detail the amount of work they will be asked to cover. Also let him know about any special furniture or items you wish to move so he can be prepared. You can even request insurance coverage for possible damage or loss of items.
