Tips from Professional Movers to Help You Relocate Your Furniture
Moving soon? Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or simply changing neighborhoods in Vancouver, relocating your furniture can be one of the most stressful parts of the process. At Pallucci Furniture, we understand how much your furniture means to you—after all, you chose it to suit your style, comfort, and space.
We’ve gathered top tips from professional movers to help you protect your investment and make your move as smooth as possible.
1. Measure Twice, Move Once
Before the big day, measure your furniture and new space. Doorways, elevators, hallways, and staircases can all be tight fits. Knowing what fits (and what doesn’t) can help you avoid last-minute headaches—or dings in the walls.
2. Disassemble When Possible
Take apart bed frames, table legs, and modular sofas. This not only makes the pieces easier to move but also reduces the risk of damage. Keep screws and bolts in labeled bags and tape them to the corresponding item.
3. Use the Right Packing Materials
Professional movers swear by furniture blankets, shrink wrap, and bubble wrap. Cover wood pieces to prevent scratches and pad corners to avoid chips. Use stretch wrap to secure cushions and doors on cabinets or dressers.
4. Slide, Don’t Drag
Dragging heavy furniture can damage both your floors and the piece itself. Use sliders or lifting straps to protect surfaces—and your back.
5. Label and Protect Fragile Items
If your furniture includes glass panels or mirrors, wrap them in bubble wrap and mark them clearly as fragile. Move these items upright to prevent breakage.
6. Know When to Get Help
Some items—like sectionals, antique pieces, or marble tables—require a professional touch. Hiring experienced movers can actually save time, money, and hassle in the long run.
