How to Pack a Kitchen for Moving: A Practical Guide

The kitchen is almost always the last room packed and the first one unpacked, which is exactly why it deserves a clear plan.

Start with the items you use least: the good china, appliances you only bring out for guests, and seasonal cookware. Wrap plates vertically like records rather than stacking them flat, and use plenty of paper between glasses.

Label every box with both the room and a one-line contents summary ("Kitchen — everyday plates and mugs") so unpacking is a matter of reading, not guessing.
