Settle in Your New Home After Moving

Moving is a stressful time for any family, so once you’ve completed the drudgery task of packing up your belongings, give yourself a nice pat on the back. After all your stuff has been moved in, you can finally turn that barren house into a warm, inviting home. Settling in, unlike the big move, doesn’t have to be stressful, and here are some tips that will help you do that without breaking a sweat:

 

It’s Not a Race

The first thing people do when they try to settle in their home is set a crazy deadline for unpacking their items. Unfortunately, trying to unpack your boxes by a set date will only add unnecessary stress. Start by unpacking the essentials first and then move on to less used items. The kitchen is the most inhabited space in a home; therefore, it makes sense to unpack your mugs, plates and cooking utensils first. After you unpack the essentials, take your time to unwind and relax.

 

Work Together as a Team

Moving and settling in a new home is a team effort, so you’ll want to give everyone a specific task. For example, one person can be responsible for unpacking the kitchen while another can work on getting the living room in order. Asking friends or family members to help you will ensure that the work gets done in less time than if you were to do it by yourself.

 

Homey Touches Lift the Spirit

If the move has you longing for your old house, add some homey touches to make a barren space feel like a home. Just adding a few pictures or even a bright pillow can lift your spirit and give the room a familiar touch, which can help you get used to your new abode.

 

Help your Pets Adjust to the Home

Dogs and cats can easily become depressed when they’re moved from their home, so it’s imperative to help your pets adjust to their new surroundings. The first thing you need to do is set up a space that feels familiar to them. For example, scatter a few toys and set up a bed in a designated space. Another thing you can do to help them adjust is by giving them a few minutes of attention each day.

 

Take it One Room at a Time

Sure, it would be nice to unpack all your belongings in a few hours, but that’s not likely. Don’t burn yourself out by trying to bite off more than you can chew; instead, unpack one room at a time. Tackle the kitchen, bedroom and the bathrooms first. Then, you can unpack guestrooms and office spaces.

 

Relax

Like it was mentioned before, moving is stressful. That’s why you need to dedicate a place in the home to relax. Just taking a few minutes every now and then is enough to help you regain your sanity.
