Label Your Boxes
This might seem like a no-brainer, but many people forget to label their boxes when their moving. Imagine getting into your new home and not knowing where all of your most important belongings are! This would definitely cause chaos in your household. You might also want to pack an overnight bag that has enough clothing and supplies for the first couple of nights.
Take it One Room at a Time
When you’re first settling into your new home you will definitely want to get everything done right away. This is going to put a lot of pressure on you and leave you disappointed when it doesn’t work out. Take one room at a time and try not to move on until you’re completely finished. This will give you a smooth process and strategy to work from.
Prioritize
Make sure you unpack and finish the most important rooms first. This will usually be your bedroom, kitchen and the main bathroom. Once these rooms are all in working order you will be able to live in your new home comfortably. The rest of the bedrooms can hold off until you have more time and energy to complete them.
Don’t Rush the Process
The last thing you want to do is rush into making everything seem ‘perfect’ in your new home. Creating a comfortable and welcoming home takes time and you can’t rush this. Making those final touches is so important but you want everything to be just right, especially if this is your forever home.
There are going to be days when you feel super stressed and overwhelmed about moving house, but you don’t have to feel this way for the whole process. Stay calm and remember the advice mentioned above. You are bound to feel apprehensive, especially because you’re usually so organized. With a little bit of forward planning, extra help and patience your house move is set to be smooth and seamless.
