4 Pro Tips to Unpacking Your New Home
/
We've been giving you all the tips for moving out of your place but what about once you're in your new house? Unpacking can take days, weeks, or even years but with these tips you'll be done in no time!
Go Room-by-Room
We recommend unpacking a whole room at one time rather than just unboxing essentials and leaving the rest. Yes, this may be a bigger task upfront but you're also less likely to leave items laying around in boxes for months.
Start with the Most Important Room
Begin with the bedrooms so you have a non-chaotic place to sleep and relax as soon as possible. Then move on to the kitchen, followed by the main living space. After that move on to the supplemental spaces and storage areas, the garage, laundry room, etc.
Everything Has a Place
For each item you unbox you should have an idea of where it's going to go in your new space. It can be helpful to do some space planning before storing. We recommend using post-it notes to plan out in advance where you think things will go. You may have to adjust as you put things away but this gives you a good basis to go off.
Break Down Boxes as You Go
Your inclination might be to just set aside boxes as you finish them and break them down later for recycling. However, it helps with visual clutter and sense of accomplishment to break them down immediately after you finish a box and stash the flat boxes out of the way. Once you have a good pile, move that pile to the garage or somewhere even more out of the way.
Now you have what you need to unpack efficiently. However, if you want it doneeven faster, you can alwayshire usto come unpack and organize your new house and turn it into a home within days. We'll even help with getting rid of all the boxes and packing paper, as well as any further donates that may have come out of unpacking.
