Packaging manufactures RAJA UK have provided some helpful tips and tricks to make your next house move as stress-free as possible

Tips for a successful house move

No matter where your next move is, the process of moving can be extremely stressful. RAJA has provided tips to make every step of your house move as easy as possible, including specific steps for before, during and after your move.

Before the move:
Declutter and donate – moving is the perfect time to declutter, so make three separate piles of things that you want to take, things you want to sell or donate, and things you need to recycle if they can’t be sold or donated.
Buy second-hand furniture – if you want to change up your style in your new home, opt for second-hand furniture before buying new. This way, you may be able to score cheaper furniture that still has plenty of life left in it.
Have a good cleaning routine – both your old home and your new home will need a good scrub, so make sure you have a cleaning check list and the right, non-toxic supplies for a thorough clean.

During the move:
Have a plan – to make your day go as smoothly as possible, you’ll need to have a plan that you can communicate to friends, family or professional movers clearly. This can mean knowing what the parking situation is like, knowing what items are staying and what’s going to the charity shop, where certain boxes will belong and having proper childcare plans (if necessary).
Pack efficiently – pack your vehicle efficiently to reduce the number of trips that you have to make. From driving between your old and new house, runs to the charity shop, post office or the supermarkets, the petrol bill can add up fast.
Colour code your boxes – having a clear colour code for each box that correlates to what room it belongs in can help the movers know where the boxes go, and help you suss out where your essential items are when you’re ready to unpack.

After the move:
Recycle or reuse your cardboard boxes – repurposing or recycling your boxes to ensure the longevity of their lifecycle can help reduce your carbon footprint. Chances are, someone else is also moving home soon so, if possible, pass on your moving supplies to someone else or recycle them so they can be made into something new.
Prioritise the important stuff – it can be overwhelming when your new home is covered in boxes, so start with unpacking the boxes that you use the most and will make the biggest impact. This includes setting up your bed for the night, and unpacking the kitchen, bathroom and cleaning supplies.
Whether you’re looking to get onto the property ladder or are climbing up a step by upsizing to a new one, buying a home is an exciting time. However, moving home can also be an incredibly stressful time. With a clear plan and the right packing products, you can make your next move as stress-free as possible.
