Let's be real: although moving into a new place is quite exciting, the moving itself is not fun, and can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. 😅
However, I’ve got you 7 moving hacks to make your life way easier! Check them out:
1️⃣ Use clothes/scarves/towels to wrap breakable items.
Instead of buying expensive packing paper, use items you already have to protect breakable items during the moving process.🧣
2️⃣ Label the SIDE of your boxes, not the top.
This is a huge moving hack: when you label the side of the boxes, you can still know what is in each one when you stack them up. 🏷
3️⃣ Get smaller boxes.
When boxes are too big, you’ll have at least two people carrying them, which makes it harder to carry up and down the stairs. 📦
4️⃣ Pack socks into your boots and shoes.
Socks are an awkward thing to pack because they usually end up going everywhere. Store them in your shoes and boots for time and space-saving. 🧦
5️⃣ Tape screws and bolts on the back of the furniture piece.
If you’re taking apart furniture, an easy way to avoid losing its pieces is is by putting them in a ziplock bag and duct-taping them to the back of the furniture piece. 🔩
6️⃣ Use coordinating sticky notes on boxes and rooms to easily know where things belong.
For example, you can put a pink sticky note on a bedroom door and then any box that is suppose to go into the bedroom also has a pink one on it. This makes you move it so much easier and it will definitely be appreciated by those who are helping you move. 🚪
7️⃣ Have an "Open First" box.
It allows you to put everything important that you need for that first night. Take it with you in your car to ensure it doesn't get lost in the moving process. Here’s some suggestions of what to put in your box:
🧻 Toilet paper & paper towels
✂️ Scissors
🪥 Toothbrush and toothpaste
🧴 Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and towels
👖 Pyjamas & outfit for the next day
