How to Prepare Your Furniture for a Move

Preparing for a move can be stressful in many ways, but one task that can be particularly challenging is making sure your furniture is secured. Packing furniture is not easy but should be done with attention to detail and caution, so it survives the move without any damage. Whether you are moving a large sectional couch or an armoire with glass doors, prepping your belongings for transport must be done delicately. Here are some tips on how to get your home’s furniture ready for moving day.

 

Take measurements in your new home
One of the most important things to do in preparation for a move is to obtain the dimensions of your new home or apartment’s doorway and hallway. Additionally, you will want to find the measurements of each room in the home. This will help to ensure your furniture can practically be moved to its destination and help you to pack it accordingly.

 

Disassemble the furniture
Another thing you can do to prepare your furniture to be moved is to disassemble it, if possible. Taking apart your furniture can help to cut down on the space needed to move you to your new place. This will particularly come in handy with larger pieces of furniture, such as desks, couches, and tables.
