Moving can become overwhelming when belongings are packed into identical boxes or bags, making unpacking confusing. Purchase different-colored tapes and assign each color to a room or category. Make a key on a scrap of cardboard so helpers can follow the organizing strategy. Close boxes with the correct color and tag furniture to indicate destination rooms. Rolls of tape cost about $1.50 apiece and five colors are available at Dollar Tree. Number boxes strategically so essentials are unpacked first, and use colored masking tape to avoid duct-tape residue on furniture.
As someone who just moved into a new house, I know how hard it can be to stay organized. From packing up your old place to trying to decide what to keep and what to toss, moving can get super-overwhelming - fast. On top of that, when you load all your belongings into identical-looking boxes or bags, unpacking gets confusing. That's why when I came across this TikTok video by Emma Villaneda (@thecraftstudioco), I wished I'd discovered it a few weeks earlier.
All you need to do is to purchase different-colored tapes and assign each color to a room or category. From there, make a key with a scrap piece of cardboard so you (and anybody helping you move) can remember your organizing strategy. Then, tape away! Close boxes with the correct color so you know which room they belong in, or tag furniture so whoever is helping you move can save their questions.
One commenter suggests strategically numbering your boxes as you pack them: "Box #1 is what I packed first, so it is what I unpack last. That way essentials get addressed first and little stuff can be saved for later." Another commenter recommends ordering colored masking tape so there isn't duct tape residue on your things. (Be especially careful of this when placing tape on furniture.)
