Stress-Free Removals: A Room-by-Room Packing Plan

Moving house can feel overwhelming, especially when you're facing a mountain of packing boxes and a ticking clock. But with the right plan in place, the process can be surprisingly smooth. At Team Removals, we believe that smart, strategic packing is the key to a stress-free move — and we’ve created this simple room-by-room guide to help you do just that.

Whether you're relocating across the street or across suburbs, our step-by-step approach — along with professional moving services Sydney — will help make your move efficient, organized, and worry-free.

Bedroom: Start with the Non-Essentials

When to pack: 2–3 weeks before moving day

Tips:

• Start with out-of-season clothes, shoes, and accessories.

• Use vacuum-seal bags to save space.

• Label boxes by person/room (e.g. "Master Bedroom – Summer Clothes").

• Disassemble larger furniture ahead of time — bed frames, dressers, etc.

Bonus Tip: Keep one suitcase per family member with essentials like PJs, toiletries, chargers, and a change of clothes.

Kitchen: Handle with Care

When to pack: 1–2 weeks before moving

Tips:

• Use dish packs and bubble wrap for fragile items like glassware and plates.

• Tape lids on spice jars and dry goods to prevent spills.

• Use tea towels between pots and pans to avoid scratches.

• Keep one box of daily-use items (e.g. kettle, 2 mugs, cutlery) for the last night and first morning.

Professional packing from our moving services Sydney can save hours in the kitchen — especially if you have a large household or gourmet setup.

Living Room: Tackle Electronics & Decor

When to pack: 1 week before moving

Tips:

• Take photos of how cables are connected before unplugging devices.

• Pack remotes and cables in labeled zip-lock bags.

• Use original boxes for TVs and monitors if available.

• Wrap wall art and mirrors in bubble wrap, and label as fragile.

Quick Fix: Use your phone to label cords with tape and a marker, or stick notes to devices for easy setup.

Kids’ Rooms: Make It Fun, Not Stressful

When to pack: 1 week before moving

Tips:

• Let your kids pack a "Moving Day Box" with their favorite toys and books.

• Get them involved with packing and labeling their items.

• Use soft items like plush toys to pad boxes.

Pro Tip: Our Sydney-based moving services offer family-friendly options that make moving easier for both parents and kids.

Bathroom: Keep It Simple

When to pack: 2–3 days before moving

Tips:

• Toss expired products and mostly empty bottles.

• Use clear zip-lock bags to avoid spills.

• Keep daily essentials in a toiletries bag.

Essentials might include toothbrushes, shampoo, a small towel, basic meds, and toilet paper.

Garage & Storage: Don’t Leave This Last!

When to pack: 1–2 weeks before moving

Tips:

• Safely dispose of paints, chemicals, or flammables (these can’t go on the truck).

• Use strong, durable boxes for tools and heavy items.

• Bundle long-handled items (e.g. brooms, rakes) together.

Bonus: General Packing Tips

• Label every box with contents + destination room.

• Pack heavier items at the bottom of each box.

• Use smaller boxes for books and heavy items to avoid injuries.

• Keep valuables and important documents with you, not on the truck.
