We understand that moving can make you feel overwhelmed. But packing doesn’t have to feel like a stressful or time-consuming process. The best way to combat the frustrations of moving to a new home is to get a moving plan together to make your job easier. There is no one better than the experts at Florida’s Best Moving to teach you the best process for moving; let’s get packing! See what and when…
Prepare Before You Pack
Set yourself up for a successful and easy move! Start by taking inventory of your belongings and decluttering the items you no longer have use for. You can bless those who are in need of those items and this will also make the unpacking a breeze.
Then you’ll want to have the proper materials to start packing. You will need wrapping paper or bubble wrap for your breakables and blankets to protect your furniture on the move. Of course, you will also need boxes and tape; don’t forget a marker to label your boxes properly.

Where to Start Packing Up Rooms
It’s best to start in the rooms you use least, like the attic, guest room, garage, or storage areas. From there, we recommend whichever room you think will be the most difficult and the rest is downhill!
Next up:
- Closets
- Living Room
- Kids’ Room(s)
- Bedroom
- Kitchen
- Office
- Bathroom
Be sure to keep out the things you need daily like medicines and toiletries for hygiene. I would even go a step further and say to pack those items in an overnight bag and not a box to keep them easily accessible.

Which items should be packed first?
Okay now you have a plan of attack for which order to pack the rooms but what about where to start with the items in those rooms. Items that you do not use often and are not essential for your daily routine can be packed first. Then, work from the top to the bottom of the room (ex. Artwork and décor, then books and toys).
Don’t forget to label the boxes so you can find the things you will need on the other side of the move.
Pro tip: Color code boxes with different color tape or post-it notes colors for each room! This will make it easier to stay organized throughout your move!
