15 Moving Hacks to Make Things Easier

Moving Boxes

  1. Place packing paper or paper towels between plates before boxing them to cushion them during the move.
  2. Pack a first day basket with disposable plates, cups and cutlery so you can eat without digging out your dishes.
  3. Use toilet paper tubes to keep wires and cables organized.
  4. Put plastic wrap on toiletries under the lid to keep them from spilling during the move.
  5. Don’t take clothes off their hangers. Move them in bunches in garbage bags still on the hangers.
  6. Put essential appliances (like your coffee maker) in a laundry basket so you can find them right away.
  7. Color code each box according to room.
  8. Keep hardware organized in plastic bagstaped to its furniture.
  9. Invest in storage bins for holiday decor and other items that stay in storage for most of the year.
  10. Pack jewelry in egg cartons to keep it tangle-free and organized during the move.
  11. Pack books in suitcases with wheels so you don’t have to carry back-breaking boxes full of books!
  12. Remember to mark boxes with breakables as fragile.
  13. Add some padding to your boxes. Plastic grocery bags are great for cushioning your breakables.
  14. Put a rubber band around the door knob to prevent it from latching every time you carry a box out the door.
  15. Have a yard sale to get rid of things you don’t need.
