Writer: Elsa JewittElsa Jewitt

Is It Time for You to Move or Put Away Last Seasons Decor?

Moving to a new home or getting ready for the next season change can be exciting but also overwhelming! It often signals a fresh start but also comes with the daunting task of packing up your life. Whether you’re upgrading to a new space, downsizing to something more manageable, or just want a more functional way to store seasonal items, being strategic about packing and storage can make the process far less stressful.

Packing Tips:

  1. Pack Less-Used Items First – Start with seasonal clothes, decor, or gear you don’t need daily.

  2. De-clutter for Selling – Pack away personal items to help buyers picture themselves in your home.

  3. Organize by Category – Keep similar items together and label boxes for easy unpacking.

  4. Prepare an Essentials Box – Pack must-haves like toiletries, clothes, and medications for quick access.

  5. Let Kids Pack Their Favorites – Have them fill a backpack with comfort items and toys.

  6. Plan for Storage Differences – Consider storage in both homes and label boxes accordingly.

  7. Use Small, Manageable Boxes – Avoid overpacking large boxes to make moving easier.

  8. De-clutter as You Pack – Donate or discard unused items to lighten your load.

  9. Start Early – Begin packing and sorting items in advance to reduce stress.
