Mistakes to Avoid When Packing Home Décor

Even careful movers can make packing mistakes. Fortunately, most are easy to prevent.

Using Newspaper Directly on Delicate Items

Newspaper can leave ink marks on some surfaces. Use clean packing paper when possible, especially for light-colored or valuable decorations.

Overloading Boxes

A heavy box is difficult to carry and more likely to fail.

Spread heavy decorative items across several boxes instead of putting everything into one container.

Leaving Empty Spaces

Empty space allows objects to move.

Fill gaps with appropriate cushioning.
