Protective floor runners used during a residential move in Toronto.

What this move involved

This move involved relocating a home from Trinity Bellwoods to Leslieville, with a primary focus on safely moving a large wooden media console positioned beside a narrow interior hallway turn. The layout required careful planning to prevent contact with walls, trim, or door frames during removal.

The home also included fragile crystal dessert bowls with thin decorative rims, which required individual packing and secure handling for the short Toronto relocation. Controlled movement, floor protection, and item-specific packing helped ensure a smooth, damage-free move from start to finish.

The challenges

Tight interior hallway turn

The media console was placed directly beside a narrow hallway turn, leaving minimal clearance to maneuver without brushing walls or catching trim.

Fragile crystal dessert bowls

The thin-rim crystal bowls required careful individual protection to prevent shifting or breakage during transport.

Maintaining clean exit pathways

The carry-out route needed floor protection to keep surfaces clean and undamaged during the move.

How we handled it

To safely manage the hallway turn and fragile items, our crew followed a controlled, step-by-step approach tailored to the home’s layout.

Protection & packing

Full console wrapping The media console was fully wrapped with protective padding and reinforced corner guards.
Individual cushioning for fragile items Each crystal dessert bowl was wrapped individually in cushioned sleeves.
Secure upright crate packing Fragile items were packed upright inside reinforced divider crates to ensure stability.

Moving Method

Controlled lift-and-rotate maneuver A slow, controlled lift-and-rotate technique was used to guide the console through the tight hallway turn.
Protected carry pathways Protective floor runners were placed along the exit route to maintain clean surfaces.
Balanced loading and placement Furniture was organized for balanced loading, followed by careful placement and unpacking at the new home.
