A proper plan

The best and easiest road to a calm, moving day is to start planning early. Create a list of things that need to be completed before, during, and after the move. This small step is going to take away half the stress from the whole process. Creating a to-do list, checking the timeline, setting a budget, hiring a moving company, checking utilities and services, changing addresses, etc. are the basic aspects that fall under this area.

Thorough declutter

Decluttering is one of the most overlooked aspects of a house move. Go through your entire collection and categorize them according to what to keep, donate, and discard. This is going to make a huge difference when you move to your new place. It is not just space-saving but will also give you a sense of calmness and make your unpacking a lot easier.

Collect packing supplies

If you decide to move on your own without hiring a moving company, it is essential to collect appropriate packing materials. Make sure to curate boxes for special items like TVs, crockery, mirrors, etc. This is to ensure your belongings stay intact during transit and no accidents happen during unpacking.

Pack smart

When packing, try a room-by-room approach to make the unpacking and settling in easier. If you are packing things from the kitchen, pack them all at once and label them, showing where they belong. Repeat the process for bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, etc. This is to avoid confusion and make unpacking seamless. Moreover, pack a separate box for essentials like a change of clothes, toiletries, a first aid box, chargers and cables, important documents, etc.

Utilities and services

Notify the providers about the exact timelines. To avoid unnecessary hassles, schedule shut-offs at the old home a day after you move out and have new connections set up at the new place a day before you move in. This will ensure a smooth transition and make the move a lot less stressful.

On the day of moving

When you reach the new home, make a plan for what to do first and where to keep your belongings safely, ensuring your box of essentials is easily accessible. Do not forget to keep snacks and drinks on hand to keep yourself energized throughout the process. When unpacking, be sure to start by unpacking essential rooms like the kitchen and bathroom first.

Make it home

It is okay to feel overwhelmed during the move. Take your time and settle in comfortably. Add personal touches to your new home by decorating or arranging furniture the way you like it. This will create a comfortable atmosphere for you to settle in, develop, and adjust to the new routine for you and your family.
