How Do You Prevent Decorative Items From Breaking During a Move?

However, don't assume that a label alone is enough. If a mirror must remain upright or a particular item has an unusual shape, communicate that clearly.

Good communication can prevent simple mistakes.

What Should You Do Immediately After the Move?

Once your belongings arrive, don't rush to throw away all packaging.

First, inspect boxes containing fragile decorations.

Look for:

• Crushed corners
• Tears
• Water damage
• Broken glass
• Loose objects
• Signs of impact

Open fragile boxes carefully.

Check each item against your inventory.

If everything looks good, you can gradually unpack and organize your décor.

If something appears damaged, photograph it before discarding the packaging. Keep relevant packing materials until you've completed your inspection.
