A successful move to a new residence is all about planning, and it begins with packing. The better you organize your items, the easier it will be to unload them and set them up. If you're moving to an apartment home, use the following packing tips for a low-stress move.

How Do You Pack Before Moving Into an Apartment Home?

1. Set Aside Essentials

When you move to a new place, the last thing you want to do is unpack every box to look for essential items like medication or phone chargers. Therefore, designate a container to hold the most important belongings, from financial information and identification cards to tools and dog food. Set aside some toiletries and all-purpose cleaners as well. You're likely to use these while sprucing up your old residence and your new apartment home.

2. Work One Room at a Time

Begin packing a few weeks before moving to help reduce stress. Designating an hour a day makes the process more approachable and less overwhelming. You should also pack by room, as this method keeps related items in one place. 

Start small, such as an unused guest bathroom, and focus only on this space. Once the process is complete, you won't have to worry about that particular home area, and seeing the results will motivate you to continue. When you get to your new apartment, you'll have everything you need for each room already organized, making it easier to set up.

3. Inventory & Color Code

Create an inventory list as you pack the first box. Write down every piece inside the container, label the outside, and apply a colored sticker to correspond with your inventory list. This ensures you know where everything is. It's invaluable when you begin unpacking because you can easily find items without having to rifle through other boxes.
