For most of us, the only thing more stressful than packing for a move is to unpack things and organize your home after the move is complete.
But what if it didn’t have to be?
The One Move team rounded up some expert moving tips to create easy steps for how to unpack and organize your house after moving.
Stressed Out After A Move. Here Are Some Helpful Moving Tips For You
Unpack as soon as possible:
You don’t have to unpack everything all at once, but consider regularly unpacking a few items day after day.
Setting a deadline to be fully unpacked will keep you on track.
Give every room a purpose:
This step will help you to have a better vision of how you might organize your home and store your belongings.
Write down on a sticky note the purpose of each room next to the room name, as well as any major furniture or items that will be stored in that room.
Situate furniture and large items first:
It is important to build a solid foundation for your belongings in your home, and once you have all the biggest pieces in place, it will be much easier to move smaller things around and fill in the gaps.
If you’re using area rugs, put them down first. Then set up beds, dressers, couches, chairs, tables, desks and other big items.
Unpack First, Then Decorate:
As you are unpacking, you are likely to find some home decor items with the rest of your things. Set those aside and wait until you have unpacked a room before you start decorating it.
Do not prolong it:
Unpacking your furniture after a move shouldn’t take months. It surely is not an overnight job, but a surrounding of boxes won’t help adjust to the new place easily.
Bottom line
As you are settling in, don’t forget your goal for how many days or weeks it will take until you are completely unpacked. Stick to your plan, and you will be past the hassle of the move before you know it.
