And you can calculate the number of containers you need based on the total area of your home. You may need approximately 250 cubic feet of space for a typical room, which will also vary depending on larger furniture and appliances. Using personal boxes of different colors can also make unpacking at your new residence easier. You may also want to pack a compact kit of items in a separate box, and these may be useful on landing so you can unpack that container first. And if you are unsure about your new permanent residence, you can always opt for storage facilities offered by the moving companies.
