The bedroom is usually the easiest room to pack and the one you'll want unpacked first, since it's where you'll collapse after move day. A little order makes it fast.
Keep hanging clothes on their hangers in wardrobe boxes, or use the trash-bag-over-hangers trick. Folded clothes can stay in the dresser drawers — just remove and wrap the drawers and carry them separately. Shoes go in their own box, stuffed with socks to hold their shape.

Empty nightstand drawers into small boxes, wrap lamp bases in paper and pack shades separately (never crush a shade under weight), and bubble-wrap framed art and mirrors, packing them on edge. Bag small items like jewelry and keep valuables with you.
