How Many Boxes Do I Need For A 4 Bedroom Move?

Packing for a move would be impossible without the use of cardboard boxes. You’ll need moving boxes of various sizes to protect your belongings from damage while they’re being transported between your two homes, except for your furniture and appliances. Packing the majority of your possessions will save your removalists time and effort, as they will be able to pick up and secure items in boxes quickly. 

Before you begin the time-consuming and labour-intensive process of packing your home for a move, you’ll undoubtedly wonder, “how many moving boxes would I need?”. The professionals at We Move Sydney have put together several pointers to help you determine the number of boxes you might require.  

How Long Have You Lived There?

According to some people, the accumulation of things over time is a natural part of human nature. Because they don’t have to move, most families don’t go through their closets for a thorough purge of their belongings. The amount of space you have and how long you’ve lived there can give you an idea of how much packing material you’ll need.

What Type Of Person Are You – Minimalist, Average, Or Hoarder?

We’re not talking about living with a mattress on the floor or with pizza boxes stacked to the ceiling. Everyone, however, has a limit to how much clutter they can handle at home. You can decide the number of boxes you might need based solely on your lifestyle. Additionally, we’ve compiled a list of the packing tips to make your move go smoothly: 

• Minimize first- Make the process of relocating easier on yourself by donating unwanted clothing and holding a garage sale to get rid of unwanted items.
• Always have a “first things first” box- Put everything you’ll need for the first two days in your new home in this box.
• Pack difficult-to-pack items first- Packing your jewellery and other delicate items correctly will save you time and distress when you move.

Packing boxes and relocation go hand in hand. Using this guide and a little extra effort, you’ll be able to answer the question, “How many boxes do I need?” A toast to a simple and seamless move!
