Learn How to Move and Store Living Room Furniture

Moving couches, recliners, coffee tables, bookshelves and other living room furniture requires proper planning. If you pull the moving van up to your front door and just start piling items in on moving day at random, you will end up costing yourself time and money. It’s important to follow a moving day checklist and understand best practices for moving a couch, bookshelves and other items. Through a series of three easy steps, the How to Move and Store Your Living Room Furniture Infographic below provides best practices to make your next move a success.

Moving a Couch Begins with Cleaning

It’s important to clean your couch, recliner and other furniture before packing those items and placing them in storage. We recommend using old sheets or blankets to cover and protect your couch during the move. Best practices also anticipate preparing space in your home for transporting your furniture in and out, which is also identified in our infographic.

Preparing for Transport

We also recommend you prepare your items and home to be able to transport your living room furniture efficiently on moving day. This informative step-by-step infographic details how to move recliners, bookcases and other living room furniture by first breaking down each item before being placed into the moving van.
