Your Best Choice In Moving

This room has a flat-screen TV, an expensive couch, plenty of electronic devices and bulky furniture pieces. Have you guessed which room it is? No? It’s the living room we’re hinting at! The living room is a family treasure trove for all the big, small and medium sized items you’ve collected over the years. And when it comes to packing the living room, it’s not a straightforward task as you would expect it to be. However, if you want to simplify the packing of your living room, engaging the services of professional Sydney furniture removalists is completely worth it. From the precious photo frames to the electronics, they’ve got the right skills to pack all the living room items using top-quality packing materials. Their access to a wide variety of moving equipment is one of the reasons why they can load, unload and deliver household belongings safely and efficiently.

Hiring an expert furniture removalist team isn’t just the end of your living room packing story. As a homeowner, you have to take care of a few things as correctly as possible. The below-mentioned points will tell you how to go about it.

Rules to Follow When Packing Your Living Room

1. Declutter: Want to convert your living room packing into an easy and comfortable process? Then you must sort and dispose of stuff as much as possible. Look inside every cupboard, closet and drawer and decide which items are worth carrying to your new home. The belongings that are in a good state but you don’t require anymore can be sold or donated.

It’s useful to have three boxes handy when you’re decluttering – one for the items you’ll be packing and the other two for ‘donating’ and ‘garage sale’. Label these boxes accordingly. Getting rid of your clutter before packing has got several benefits. But to cut long story short, the lesser items you pack, the quicker is your packing and unpacking and most importantly, the lower is your removalist charge.

2. Electronics: Packing any electronic device requires careful handling and you can rest assured that your living room electronics are in safe hands when you allow expert Sydney furniture removalists to pack them.  For electronics like the TV, laptop, play station and other devices, it’s best to pack them in their original boxes. Don’t have the original boxes? Relax! Professional movers have sturdy and high-quality boxes to safely pack your electronic items. The rules to packing your electronics are:

• Unplug the electronics. Clean them properly.

• Wrap the cables and wires, secure with tape and keep them in a separate bag.

• Cover the TV screen and computer monitor with bubble wrap, packing paper and other protective materials

• Place the devices one by one in the box, slowly and steadily. Tape all the sides to ensure they don’t open during transportation.

• Label the boxes as ‘Fragile’.

To help you easily plug in your electronics, click pictures of your devices before packing to know the correct locations where the plugs must be inserted.

3. Lampshades, mirrors and frames: Tape the bottom of a large size box and place several layers of packing papers to create adequate cushioning. Separate the shade from the lamp base and pack them separately. Put the lamp first in the box; if there’s enough space you can place the shade on top or in a different box. Seal the box and mark it as ‘Delicate: Lampshade’.

To prevent your frames and mirrors from getting damaged, use lots of packing materials to keep them well protected. For packing fragile items like frames and mirrors, you can hand over the responsibility to professional and affordable removalists in Sydney. Besides possessing the right packing supplies, including ideal sized boxes, they’ve got the expert skills required to keep your mirrors, artworks and picture frames undamaged.

Moreover, why take the risk of packing these breakables yourself and exhaust your time and energy when the professionals are here to pack them efficiently for you?

4. Packing draperies, artwork and wall decorations: Take off the draperies, blinds and sheers from the wall and pack them individually. For paintings and other valuable wall decorations, if you don’t want to find them in several pieces after reaching your new home, engaging the services of a professional removalist company is the wisest decision for you.

With an experienced removalist team, you don’t have to worry about finding suitable packing materials or special boxes of the right size. They have everything to keep your valuable wall decorations and artworks safe, intact and secure. When packing the curtains and drapes, fold properly and place them inside wardrobe boxes. Remove the curtain rods and put them inside another box. Tape the boxes securely with packing tape on all the sides.

5. Furniture: Packing furniture is not as easy as packing your clothes or other household items. You have to disassemble the parts before the pieces can be wrapped. Professional furniture removalists are a pro when it comes to disassembling and reassembling furniture pieces. They have furniture blankets, high quality plastic wrap, packing tape and bubble wrap to pack the furniture pieces securely.

For packing chair, sofa, bed and table, the movers will first remove the legs and other parts and then wrap each piece in bubble wrap and shrink wrap to protect the furniture parts from dirt and damage. Some furniture pieces, like the TV stand, have screws at the hinges. Unless you have the proper tools and expertise, removing the screws or disassembling the furniture items can take you an entire day or even more!
