You\u2019ve packed up your home, the moving van has pulled away and you\u2019re ready to start unpacking. The problem is, you\u2019re now faced with a lot of identical boxes filled with an assortment of kitchenware, bed linen, old photo albums and toys. Where on earth do you start? The best way to ensure you\u2019re organised when moving house is colour coding. Before you start packing, arm yourself with a few rolls of coloured tape or coloured paper and clearly label each box according to the room it needs to go in. This way, you can move each box to the corresponding room and avoid the stress of trying to remember where you put the TV remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Stock up on cling film<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cling film is one of the most versatile kitchen tools and it\u2019ll come in handy when you\u2019retrying to keep everything in one place. Wrap bookshelves and drawers with cling film before you move them out of the room; this way you can simply unwrap them when they\u2019re in their new home, removing the need for additional packing boxes for the contents. Wrap cutlery drawers, cosmetics holders and anything else that contains small pieces for a smooth transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Multitask wrapping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have champagne flutes, or any other long stem wine glasses, we recommend slipping them into socks to add an extra layer of protection. Pick up a few free wine boxes next time you are in a supermarket too; these are ideal for packing away your wrapped glasses, plus the flat pack nature means they\u2019re easy to store until the next time you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
