If you have a move coming up and cant decide where to start? Consider the following moving tips:

The Least frequently used room: Keep your normal everyday life by starting with the rooms that you use the least.
The Hardest room to pack: Take the challenge on early. You should start in the most difficult rooms to prepare so you won’t be too tired or stressed in the final days leading up to your move.

While Keeping The Two Tips In Mind, Let’s See Where To Start Packing For A Move:

While keeping the two tips in mind, let’s see where to start packing for a move:

  1. Garage, basement, attic, and closet: The storage areas can take a really long time to sort and pack. Therefore these areas should be the first to be attended to. Often times people underestimate how much time is required for these areas. Be sure to get it done ahead of time!
  2. Unoccupied rooms: If you are currently living in a home with rooms that are not used – guest rooms for example – then these rooms should be next ones on your list. Especially if the room is used as storage.
  3. Kitchen:
    • Most kitchens have shockingly large number of items.
    • Fragile items take time to pack.
    • Much of the kitchenware is well-hidden in drawers or cabinets often leading to commotion just before the moving day.

  1. Living room: Your desire to leave the living room for last when packing for a move is quite understandable – after all, it’s most likely the most fun room in the whole house. So leave the fun stuff and get started on the various styles of cabinetry, including china cabinets, bookcases, buffets, TV stands, and entertainment center contents and so on.
  2. Bedroom: Expect plenty of lost time when sorting and packing your clothes and your bedding.  For this reason we leave this area second to last.
  3. Bathroom: Your bathroom should be the very last room to pack when getting ready to move out. The reason is simple – everyone needs a bathroom.
