13 Hacks for Moving House
Want to make your next move simpler, easier, and cheaper? While choosing the best furniture removalists in Perth is always a great idea to make your move a lot less stressful, there are a few really great hacks that you can use to really improve the whole experience. We love this video from the ladies of CheaptoChic – all 13 of their hacks are brilliant, and we recommend every single one of them.
But which hacks are our favourites? Let’s take a look at a few of the “best of the best” to help you reduce stress on yourself and your wallet for your next move.
Use Your Luggage and Laundry Baskets
While you’re probably going to have to buy at least a few boxes, you already have a few moving supplies that you might not have even thought about. Suitcases, laundry baskets, bins, and other storage supplies make great boxes for moving.
Plus, you can use an overnight bag or carry-on bag to take your essentials with you the day of the move. That way, you won’t have to dig through all of your other boxes to find your clothes for work or your toiletries.
Colour Code Boxes for Easy Placement
Labelling your boxes is a good way to help yourself keep everything organized so that you know what goes in the kitchen and what goes in your bedroom. However, when you’re working with furniture removalists in Perth, you’ll want to make it even easier. Instead of writing a label that you or your Perth removalists will have to read, just colour code your boxes so that you can easily tell your movers where to put things at a glance.
And you don’t have to buy different coloured boxes. You can use coloured tape or a coloured marker to make the whole job simpler without spending a lot of extra money.
Take Pictures and Measurements of Both Your New and Old Spaces
If you love the way that you have a particular room or wall set up, take pictures of it with your phone and then take a few quick measurements. Then, at your new home, take pictures and measurements of the space where you’ll be putting those things. Then you can easily plan where things go without putting together a large shelf or chest of drawers only to find out that it won’t fit where you imagined it.
Plus, you’ll get a better idea of exactly where you should put your boxes and where to have your Perth furniture removalists put your heavier pieces of furniture. Imagine saying, “Just put that wardrobe in the kids’ bedroom,” only to find out there’s really no room for it anywhere but the master bedroom. You’ll be calling your furniture removalists back in a panic! So avoid that by taking a few pictures and measurements ahead of time.
Leave Your Clothes on Their Hangers
Whether you opt to have your removalists bring portable wardrobes with them or not, you can save a lot of time and effort by just leaving your clothes in their hangers. To make things even easier, group them together in the closet, pull a large trash bag over them (starting from the bottom), and then tie it closed at the top with the hooks of the hangers left exposed. Then you can just move them all as a single unit from one place to another.
These are just a few of our favourite moving hacks for your next move. Check out the other great tips that these ladies have come up with in the video above. And, if you’re moving, call us at AAA Bargain Removals for all of your furniture removals in Perth.
