TIPS & TRICKS FOR AN EASIER MOVE

Moving can quickly turn your home upside down, but a little preparation can make the process much easier. Here are a few tips we’ve learned over the years to help keep your move organized and stress-free.

👕 Keep Clothes on the Hangers

Instead of taking clothes off the hangers, place a garbage bag over them and pull the hangers through a small hole in the bottom. Tie or drawstring the bag at the bottom.

If anything falls off the hanger, it’s still inside the bag!

🧳 Pack an Overnight Bag

Pack a bag with everything you’ll need for the first night, including:

Clothing
Toiletries
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Soap and toilet paper
Chargers
TV remotes
Medications
Children’s essentials or favorite toys

Having these items easily accessible means you won’t have to search through boxes after a long day of moving.

🔧 Keep Furniture Hardware Together

If you disassemble furniture, place all screws, bolts, and hardware in a labeled baggie. Tape the bag securely to the furniture so nothing gets lost.

Tip: Take a quick photo of the assembled furniture before taking it apart. It can make reassembly much easier at your new home.

📦 Use Color-Coded Labels

Use different colored stickers to identify which room each box belongs in.

For example:

Yellow: Upstairs bedroom
Blue: Kitchen
Green: Living room
Red: Bathroom

This makes it easy for everyone to know where each box goes and helps your movers work faster and more efficiently.

A little organization goes a long way toward making moving day easier!
