Visualize the space and think about furniture placements. Keep in mind that there is quite a difference between the average apartment sizes in different states. After deciding which items you are not taking with you, you will need to choose what to do with these items. Here are some options:

Packing and Packing Supplies

You can purchase all these materials directly from your moving company. Most companies will also free deliver packing materials if you choose to buy from them. 

Be sure to purchase boxes that are specially designed for moving and relocation to prevent any damages to your belongings. Oversized boxes can contain more but are often not strong enough to protect the packed items from damage.
