How to Prepare Your Furniture for a Move

Apr 04, 2024

Moving can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to preparing your furniture for the big day. Properly preparing your furniture can help prevent damage during the move and make the process smoother and more efficient. In this blog, we'll discuss how to prepare your furniture for a move and why you should consider hiring Big League Movers to handle the heavy lifting.


1. Take Inventory and Measure Your Furniture

Before you start preparing your furniture, it's essential to take inventory of all the pieces you plan to move. This will help you determine the necessary packing materials and ensure that everything is accounted for during the move. Additionally, measure your furniture to ensure that it will fit through doorways, hallways, and staircases in your new home.


2. Disassemble Large Items

Disassembling large furniture items, such as beds, tables, and desks, can make them easier to move and prevent damage during the moving process. Be sure to keep all hardware and screws in labeled bags, so you can easily reassemble the items in your new home.


3. Protect Your Furniture

Use furniture pads, blankets, or bubble wrap to protect your furniture from scratches, dents, and other damage during the move. Be sure to secure these protective materials with packing tape or stretch wrap to keep them in place.


4. Remove Drawers and Shelves

Remove drawers and shelves from dressers, bookcases, and other furniture items to make them lighter and easier to move. Be sure to pack the contents of these drawers and shelves separately in labeled boxes.


5. Wrap Upholstered Items

Use plastic wrap or moving blankets to protect upholstered furniture, such as sofas and chairs, from dirt, dust, and moisture during the move. Be sure to secure the protective materials with packing tape or stretch wrap.


6. Plan Your Moving Day

Determine the order in which you will move your furniture and create a floor plan for your new home. This will help you and your movers know where each piece of furniture should be placed, making the moving process more efficient.


7. Hire Professional Movers

Hiring professional movers, like Big League Movers, can help ensure that your furniture is properly prepared, packed, and transported during your move. Our team of experienced movers will handle the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your move.
