How to Pack Fragile Kitchen Items 
When you move, the kitchen is by far the hardest room to pack. Not only is there a lot of stuff to pack, but many of the items are oddly shaped or fragile, and there are often so many little things that they can throw off even the most organized packers. Going into your kitchen without a plan is one of the biggest moving mistakes. However, with a little planning and creativity, you can make packing your kitchen easier and do it like a pro. Here are some tips on how to pack a kitchen without going crazy.
Declutter Your Kitchen
Before you start packing, go through the kitchen and take out the things you no longer want or need, just like you would in any other room. Moving is a great time to get rid of things you don’t use or need, so take a moment to sort out the useless stuff. This can be hard to do in the kitchen because there’s always that voice telling you that even though you’ve never used that baking set before, you might want to use it someday. The odds are you won’t use it if you’ve had it for over a year and it’s still in the box.
Buy Packing Supplies
To pack up your kitchen, you’ll need strong boxes of different sizes, packing paper, packing tape, and labels. You might also want to buy special dividers made for packing and stacking hard-to-pack items like stemware to make things easier on yourself. Pick up some plastic wrap, too. You can use the kind you use to wrap up leftovers. This will help keep items that are stacked together and stop them from moving around.
Pack a Box of Essentials
Before you move, set aside a box of essentials and basic kitchen items that you’ll need right away. This box should include a few plates, silverware, cups, and whatever else you’ll need the first night in your new home. You want to have this box so that you have access to these items before you unpack everything else.
