What is the best way to organize and pack belongings for a house move? The most efficient packing strategy follows four key rules: 1) Pack room-by-room starting with least-used items, 2) Place heavy items (books, tins) in small boxes and lighter items (linen, cushions) in large boxes, 3) Label box tops and sides with destination rooms and contents, and 4) Prepare a "Day 1 Essentials Box" containing kettle, toiletries, chargers, and bedding for immediate access on move night.
