Sacramento Movers Share How to Move a Chandelier

Trying to pack and move your chandelier can be a troublesome task. Depending on the size and the complexity of your chandelier, it may be useful to have one or two people helping you.

The first step would be to remove the power and slowly remove the chandelier onto a thick towel or a blanket. Be sure to keep all of the nails and screws in a safe place where you know that you won't lose them! Depending on your chandelier, remove any dangling and removable pieces. Such as individual crystals, light bulbs, shades, etc. With each individual piece, try wrapping them up in soft pieces of cloth and putting them in their own individual box. Be sure not to use printed newspaper or the ink may rub onto the pieces and leave stain on your precious pieces.

Now you should be left with the lamp itself. You can either wrap the whole thing with towels and blankets and secure it with tape or you may want to purchase bubble wrap and wrap the lamp with at least three layers of it. The safest way to move your chandelier will be to put it back in its original packing material. However most people wouldn't hold onto that. Measure the size of your chandelier and find a box that's big enough for it. Fill big gaps with towels or blankets and fill the rest with other packaging material.

Hope these tips will help you and your beloved chandelier on your next move!
