Tackling the Unpacking Process: 5 Tips to Streamline the Final Step in Your Move

After all the stress and commotion of a big family move, finding the will to unpack your belongings when you finally arrive at your new home can be a challenge.

Organize Your Packing Before You Move

If you pack your belongings all willy nilly before you move, you’ll only make the unpacking process more daunting. Disorganization is the enemy of any relocation.

Color Code or Number Your Boxes

If you’re planning to pack your belongings on your own, it’s always a good idea to implement some type of coded organization system.

Pack a Bag of Essentials

• Pajamas and a change of clothes
• Any necessary medications
• A first aid kit
• Shower essentials
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Laptop and phone chargers
• Disposable dishes and flatware

Assign Kids Their Own Boxes

If your kids are old enough to safely unpack their things, assign them their own boxes.

Unpack Rooms in the Most Logical Order

• Bedrooms. You need to sleep somewhere.
• Kitchen. Start by putting away dishes, flatware, pots, and pans.
• Living room. Save electronics setup for later.
