When you first start packing your living room or family room, you probably begin with smaller items that are sitting around on surfaces. However, the large pieces of furniture may give you more trouble than a box full of figurines or video games. It helps to have a team of strong and knowledgeable experts on hand understand how to protect your side tables, coffee table, entertainment center, couches, and chairs. Proper wrapping, securing of doors and drawers, and protection of accents and hardware are all important parts of the process to get you packed and moved minimal damage or stress.

Consider using area rugs, cushions, or throw blankets as furniture wraps. A professional moving company will have these on hand for protection of the wood and other materials. However, your own property can help guard against bumps and scratches during the moving process too. When stacking living room furniture in a moving truck, make sure none of it can shift or tip during the drive. Also, it helps to pack the furniture on board last so it is the first out at your new home. That way, it can get set up right away to give you a spot to rest or put your other belongings.
