🎯 Stress-Free Moving: 7 Expert Packing Tips from Elevated Mess
Moving to a new home should feel exciting—not overwhelming. At Elevated Mess, we specialize in transforming chaos into calm, and that includes helping you pack for your move with purpose and efficiency. Whether you're relocating across town or across the country, these professional packing tips will help you stay organized and stress-free every step of the way.
🧳 1. Start with a Decluttering Session
Before you pack a single box, declutter your space. Go room by room and ask: Do I really want to bring this into my new home? This is the perfect time to donate, sell, or toss what no longer serves you. Need help sorting through the mess? That’s what Elevated Mess does best.
📦 2. Pack by Room, Not by Category
Resist the urge to group all similar items together. Instead, pack one room at a time and label boxes clearly. This makes unpacking easier—and keeps you from digging through every box to find a single item.
🖋 3. Label Like a Pro
Use color-coded labels or stickers to identify which room each box belongs in. Be specific: instead of “kitchen,” write “kitchen – pantry items.” Bonus tip: number your boxes and keep an inventory list so nothing gets lost.
🫙 4. Use the Right Packing Supplies
Invest in sturdy boxes, quality tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Your valuables—and your back—will thank you. Not sure what you need? We offer custom packing supply kits tailored to your home and inventory.
🪪 5. Pack a “First Night” Essentials Box
This is your survival kit for move-in day. Include toiletries, chargers, snacks, a change of clothes, and important documents. You’ll be glad you didn’t pack it all away.
🧼 6. Clean as You Go
Packing is the perfect time to wipe down drawers, shelves, and closets. A clean exit leaves a great impression—and keeps your move organized from start to finish.
🙌 7. Call in the Pros
