Choose one or two box sizes for easy stacking. Uniform boxes create stable towers, saving space and preventing tip-overs.
Take apart beds, tables, and shelving units to reduce their footprint. Store screws and small parts in labeled bags taped to the item.
Think up, not just out. Use the full height of your unit by stacking boxes and standing items like mattresses or sofas on their ends.
Freestanding shelving helps you store more while keeping things organized and accessible. It's especially handy for smaller items and bins.
Label all sides of your boxes. This saves you time when you need to find something and helps you keep your layout organized.
Leave a small walkway between your boxes or rows. It might seem counterintuitive, but it saves time and hassle in the long run when accessing your belongings.
Keep heavy boxes and furniture at the bottom to avoid damage and create a strong base for stacking.
Clothing, bedding, and soft items take up a lot of room. Vacuum-sealed bags reduce their volume and protect against dust and pests.
Use drawers, suitcases, and appliances like fridges or ovens to store smaller items. Just be sure to prop doors open to prevent mold.
Sketch a quick layout before you start loading your unit. Group items by category and place things you may need soon near the front.
