Moving to a new home can be a bit stressful. You will face some minor dilemmas along the way, such as keeping track of your stuff. There are strategies on how you can easily find your things. You might have asked questions such as “Where did I put the bath towels?”, “Which box did I place the cat food?” Here are some tips for you.
Once you’re done with all your duties from finishing all the moving tasks, and everything’s set, you’re now on to the part of your moving day. So, if you’re tired of seeing those pile of boxes surrounding you, there’s no need to worry anymore! We’re here to give you set of guidelines to help you decide which are the things you need to unpack first.
To fully complete the experience of moving in, you need to unpack all those piles of boxes first. Here’s how you can begin your unpacking adventure!
First things first!
You must clean and ready your new home.
Make sure to clean your place completely before your stuff arrives. This involves cleaning your windows, mopping the floors to wiping down the shelves. If you can’t do it in time, we recommend you to hire a professional cleaner to do the job. Hiring a professional ensures that it is clean enough before you start placing your belongings.
Check and organize your belongings.
All of the things that were delivered must be checked with your inventory sheet. An inventory sheet will help keep track of all your belongings. Your household items and delivered boxes must be properly labeled to be easily found. This would be a big help in sorting your items properly.
Set your furniture and appliances.
You must place the larger furniture and heavy household appliances first for the smaller items to be easily put in the right area after. Making plans for the interior design ahead of time will save your time from moving the bulky pieces around and around.
Prioritize the necessities
Another important thing to do before you move in is to make sure that there is easy access to all the essentials. Take time to prioritize all the belongings and unpack only the necessary things first.
Bedroom
We don’t expect you to unpack the bedroom right away after you move in. However, it is one of the most important things you need to set up first. Assemble your bed first. Then lay down the sheets and unpack all the pillows. Lastly, spread your favorite blanket to get a good night’s sleep! At the end of the day, you still need to get some sleep.
Bathroom
Your personal care items must be on the top of the list to unpack after your move. Unpack all your bathroom essentials. You will need it to wash away all the stress and weariness that moving gave you. Put out the soap and toilet paper, hang your towels and shower curtains and place your toothbrush and toothpaste. It’s important to be refreshed since your new home is full of mess.
Kitchen
On the first days of your moving in, cooking your food is impossible. This means you’re going to be relying on deliveries for the first day. You should fix your kitchen into a fully operational room to prepare a healthy and homemade meals food for your family.
After you’re done with these three important places in your new home, everything else will be a piece of cake. There’s no need to rush things because you can decorate your home as soon as you settled everything.
