Declutter

Before you even start to pack, take the time to go through your belongings and get rid of items you no longer use! If it doesn't have a place in your new space then donate or sell it online.

 

Color Code

We recommend color coding your moving boxes with tape or markers so you know which box belongs in which room. Pack similar items together to make unpacking easier!

 

Take Apart Furniture

It may be tempting to move a dresser with everything still inside, but to create a quicker and easier move, we recommend emptying all drawers and taking apart heavy furniture to make it easier to transport. Pack up drawers into separate boxes and label them so you can unpack them easily. 

 

Unpack Strategically

Once you have moved all of you belongings to your new place, unpack strategically! We recommend unpacking room by room to keep things organized and not create too much chaos in your new home!
