Don't know where to start in packing your room? While moving furniture can be tricky, almost everything else in one's bedroom can be reduced quite easily. While one may have a lot of dissimilar items across their room, they can still be placed systematically within an organised mode of arrangement that will subsequently inform packing. Featured below is a series of steps one ought to follow in achieving an organised room across systematic categories, and indeed smaller sub-categories. This will make unpacking a whole lot simpler at the other end as you move into your new house without hassle.1 – Tidy your room The very first thing you should do ahead of arranging your items is tidy your room. Place a distinct emphasis on reduction, instead of moving excess clothing etc haphazardly into cupboards.  Tidying will also give you an opportunity to both recover and dispose of unwanted items – you'll be amazed at how many things you discover are surplus to requirements. For example, all those old ripped posters and brochures you chucked aimlessly in the cupboard one day can be thrown away permanently, alongside that oversized sweater. Be ruthless as much as you can in this respect since it means you'll have a more focussed set of belongings to compliment your new room.     2 – Begin large and work your way downSometimes motivation to tidy simply begins with the rearranging of certain large items. Provided you are confident of doing it yourself, begin by carefully moving your bed, should you feel it frees up room in which to perform a proper tidy. If not your bed, then other items such as chairs, or even a sofa, could do with a quick change in placement, even if it's only a temporary one. Once you've carved out a practical working space, proceed to tidy those smaller things – take everything off your bedside table before putting the items to one side and later breaking them down across separate categories. For example, a typical bedside ledge might include a deodorant can, a box of tissues, an alarm clock, your wallet and coffee mugs. Here we can see how a host of different categories are represented among items as simple as these. The next step expands on how to categorise most effectively.  3 – Categorise and sub-categoriseOnce you've moved all those items that were on your bedside table to one side, systematically go throw them before repeating the process across other areas of your room like things stored on top of a cupboard. Don't forget that 'rubbish' constitutes a category itself, so don't feel like every single item needs a home in terms of packing. When categorising elsewhere, make a focussed 'priorities' group of no more than 10 items, before organising other items as specifically as you can. In the case of things which could easily fall under two categories, arrange them in accordance with their physical appearance wherever possible. For example, your first instinct may be to group your guitar cable alongside your guitar, but, upon realising it doesn't fit in your guitar case, or any other music-oriented container, group it in a separate 'electronics' category alongside your other extension cables. This particular category is useful for housing things like computer cords too. 4 – Prepare cheap cardboard boxesOnce your categories are so specifically defined, simply prepare a series of cheap cardboard boxes before constructing and dividing them among the separate categories. Should you have taken heed of step 3 very closely, you'll find placing everything into boxes is a breeze. Regardless, place larger solid-shape items first in each box before adding smaller, and more angular, items later.
