Tips to Prepare You For Your Move

Moving is always an exciting time! But even though it is exciting, it can also be pretty stressful. One of the most important things when moving is ensuring you have a solid game plan to tackle packing and unpacking. But, some other tips can help make the experience more stress-free! Below are some tips and tricks to make moving from your house to your new home a breeze!

Prepare for the First 24 Hours

Keep a suitcase or box separate for the first night and morning in your new space. The box should contain things such as: a change of clothes, toiletries, towels, some basic utensils, toilet paper, a first aid kit, etc. Having this box ready ensures you don’t need to go through boxes to pull out individual items, and you can start your day unpacking fresh and clean!

Label Your Items

Labeling your items allows you, or your mover, to place the boxes directly in the rooms that they belong in! Doing this makes unpacking a breeze, and you won’t be running all around your new space looking for kitchen utensils! If you plan on repurposing or reusing your boxes, here’s a tip: Get different colored masking tape, and assign a color for each room (bathroom=blue, bedroom 1= yellow, etc.). Then create a chart of the colors and their corresponding rooms! After unpacking, you can peel off the tape, keeping your box intact!
