1. Top Tips for Transporting Furniture in Your Home
If you have moved into a new home, or you are looking to rejuvenate
your home’s décor, you might have to start moving furniture around. This
is a hazardous job because you could find yourself chipping the edges of
cupboards and suffering from severe back strain. There is a right way and
a wrong way to carry furniture around. In this article, we are going to
show you how you should go about transporting furniture in your home.
Centre the Weight
Carry heavy Harris Tweed furniture by holding one end high and one
end low. This is a two-person job and can help to transport heavier
cupboards and cabinets around. By holding it in this way, it is not going to
swing out of control. Furthermore, the gradual slope makes it ideal for
transporting upstairs. Carrying a piece of heavy furniture up or downstairs
on a horizontal level makes it extremely difficult for both carriers to climb
the stairs.
Hooking Chairs
You have some nice Tetrad Harris Tweed chairs and you need to get them
out of a room. Professional movers will not just try to shove the chairs
through the door. This is only going to cause damage to the doorframe
and the chair itself. Hook the chair around the corner by turning it on its
side. When it has that distinctive ‘L’ shape, move it back-first through the
door. Curl it around the frame and it should slip straight through without
causing any problems.

2. You can do the same with your Harris Tweed cushions and sofa set. In
this case, you would stand the sofa on its end and hook it around the
corner. It may not be as smooth, but it can be done.
Slide Not Drag
Rather than dragging or carrying furniture, make it easy on yourself by
investing in sliders. Sliders can be bought easily. All you have to do is put
the furniture on top of the slider and drag the slider. The slider will move
across the floor with the furniture on top. That way you will not have to
give yourself a hernia by attempting to lug it around. In addition, it will
not lead to any scratches or scuff marks on the floor. For carpets,
purchase hard plastic sliders. For hard floors, use soft padded sliders.
Make a Plan
Professional movers limit the amount of work they do by planning where
each piece of furniture is going to land before they start working. Sketch
out a plan of your home and determine where each piece of furniture is
going to go. It reduces the workload because you will only ever have to
touch a piece of furniture once. There is nothing more time-consuming
than having to rearrange everything after you get it off the truck.
Overall, these tips are designed to help the amateur mover get things
done. If you are not confident in your ability to move furniture around
without causing any lasting damage, always call in the help of a
professional moving team. They will be able to help you get everything
where it needs to go.
