Your Guide to Organizing After Moving into
a New Home
Moving into a new house is a challenging process especially because you
have to start with a blank space and turn it into a comfortable home. As
you read this post, we consider that you have already made it to your new
abode successfully. Thanks to the best moving companies in Brooklyn,
moving a house is now an easy job as professionals take charge of the
packing and transporting needs. But, once the goods are delivered, you
must organize the house efficiently and get back to a more functional
space as soon as possible.
So, where should you start? Organizing a new home isn’t easy and you
must know that patience is the key. You will have to work consistently
towards setting up the house; covering one room after another. It can take
you anywhere from weeks to months to find the right place for everything
and it surely is a tedious process.
To make the entire process easier for you, we have made this ultimate
unpacking and new home organization guide that is guaranteed to help.
We encourage you to follow these tips and get comfortable in your new
home easily and quickly.
Count the boxes:
You must have made a list of boxes you have in the moving inventory, as
soon as the movers deliver your stuff to the new house, make sure you
count the boxes. This will ensure that all your stuff has safely arrived at
the new house.
Move the right boxes to the right room
To begin with, you must ensure that packed moving boxes are in the room
where they belong. Professional movers ensure that they unload and
place your moving inventory in the right room (this is where labeling plays
a crucial role). However, if you did not get that type of service from your
movers, you must take things in your hand and start segregating and
moving the boxes.
With the moving boxes in different rooms, you will have a clear idea of
how much work you have to do for organizing each room. You can also
make a schedule and manage resources accordingly.
Start with the bedrooms
It is recommended to start unpacking and organizing the bedroom stuff
first, moving a house is a tiring process and you will need to rest to
recuperate from all the stress and hard work. A comfortable bedroom is
what can offer you the rest your body requires. So, to ensure you have a
place to refuge, you must start organizing your bedroom first.
Open the boxes with Bedroom on the label and start setting the things one
after another. Make the beds first as you will have enough space to lie
down or simply spread your belongings before you move them to their
respective place.
You must also make your kid’s bed as they too will need some rest after
the tiring change.
Install the appliances
Appliances, especially the large ones are the most space-taking items in
the home, you must move them to their respective place first and then
install them. Professional movers often move the appliances in their place
before leaving your house, if they haven’t, you must take help from other
adults in the house in moving these items as they are heavy and large in
size.
Manage the cords well and plug in the appliance. Do not forget to check if
it is working properly after plugging in. if it is not, either you have wrongly
installed it or the appliance got damaged during transit. In the latter case,
you will have to file a claim with the moving company.
Move to the kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most complicated rooms in the house to pack,
unpack and organize. You must have a lot of boxes piled up in the kitchen
to unpack. You must patiently open one box after another.
Begin with the boxes that hold fragile items like crockery and then move
on to organizing other stuff. Take great care while unpacking sharp-edged
items like knives as they can cause injury when handled carelessly.
Take your time: do not rush
Just like packing, unpacking the entire household after a move is a tedious
and time taking job. Rushing through it can cause harm to your belongings
as well as affect your physical and mental health. It would take a while
before your entire house is set to perfection. So, take your time and relax
during the organizing process. Make sure you have a complete floor plan
in mind when you organize large items and an inventory list to check if
everything has safely arrived at your new house.
