Step: Strip beds and pack linens in labeled boxes or vacuum bags
Step: Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
Step: Leave folded clothes in dresser drawers and wrap the dresser
Step: Pack shoes and accessories in their own boxes
Step: Wrap mirrors, lamps, and framed art with padding
Step: Disassemble bed frames and bag the hardware
Step: Pack books and decor in small, sturdy boxes
Step: Set aside a few days of clothes and a first-night box
Step-by-step bedroom packing.
When: Pack bedrooms in the final week, leaving daily clothes for last.
Watch out: Do not overfill clothing boxes; books and shoes get heavy fast and boxes can split.
