How Many Boxes Do You Need to Pack Up a 3 Bedroom House?

Are you planning to move out of your three-bedroom house? If so, you'll need to know how many boxes you'll need to pack up all your belongings. The number of boxes you'll need depends on the number of items you plan to pack and the sizes of boxes you choose. Generally, it's estimated that you'll need between 75 and 90 boxes for a three-bedroom house. To get an accurate estimate, it's important to consider the size and weight of the items you plan to pack.

For example, if your home is filled with books, vinyl records, or plastic figurines, you'll need to get the right size and type of box to transport them safely.

Types and Sizes of Boxes

When packing up a three-bedroom house, you'll need a variety of boxes in different sizes. We suggest around 30 small boxes, 40 medium boxes, 20 large boxes, 3 extra large boxes and 6 wardrobe boxes. Don't forget the box sealing tape, tape dispenser, permanent markers and labels.

Calculating the Number of Boxes

The most common and simple way to determine how many boxes of packing you need is to look at the square footage of your home. In addition to the standard packing boxes described above, you should also consider special boxes for moving items that take up more space. These can typically hold 5 to 15 cans and boxes of non-perishable goods, making them ideal for packing your kitchen pantry. Under specific circumstances, this method of calculating boxes proves to be more accurate and will give you a better idea of how many packing boxes you will need to buy or get for free to pack all your household items except your furniture and appliances.

Mirror and picture boxes are ideal for transporting art pieces with fragile frames, such as paintings and paintings.

Calculating Price

Some moving experts say that a much better way to calculate the approximate number of moving boxes you'll need is to use the square footage of your house rather than the number of rooms. The approximate price of total packaging supplies can be determined by the cubic feet of your space and the length of time you lived there.

Conclusion

On the other hand, you can waste precious time running to Home Depot or Lowe's if you haven't bought enough packing boxes or don't have one of the right size. Your home may have far fewer or many more items to pack than average homes and the types of boxes you need will be unique to the things you own and plan to carry with you.

Although there is no magic formula that tells you exactly how many moving boxes you'll need to pack your things, here are some good ways to find out the approximate number.
