Moving into a new place is always exciting, that’s until you realise that everything still needs to be unpacked. Once you’re done sorting, packing, and lifting, you need to set everything up at your new place. There are many ways you can tackle such tasks without stressing too much.
If your boxes weren’t labelled clearly on the way out, sort that out for next time with our guide on how to label moving boxes for an easy unpack — it makes everything below far faster.
Clean the entire empty house before a single box comes inside. It’s far easier to wipe down windows, skirting boards, ceiling fans, floors and walls when there’s nothing in the way.
Start by cleaning one end of the house and making your way to each room, cleaning everything from the windows, skirting boards, ceiling fans, floors, and walls. Wipe down anything that has dirt on the surface.
Avoid opening the boxes right away, and ensure that every piece of furniture is in the new spot. The unpacking process becomes easier once you set the room to how you want it, since you’re then unpacking into a finished space rather than working around obstacles.
Unpack the bathroom and one bedroom before anything else — these are the two rooms you can’t function comfortably without on night one.
You can save yourself from a lot of hassle by packing an essential box before the move (see our list of things you need when you move out if you haven’t already). Besides, it also gives you a place to start with your unpacking. Room-by-room is an excellent method, and you should begin unpacking the items you require the most. Consider setting up your bathroom right away, and then work your way towards the bedrooms.
In case someone is more anxious, consider getting them settled first. See that their room is completely set up, as you can then better focus on the entire process. It would help if you had a plan before you begin. Try not to stress out too much and enjoy your new house. If kids are part of the move, our guide on moving with kids covers age-by-age settling-in strategies.
While you shouldn’t rush everything, you will benefit greatly by having a deadline. The sense of urgency will help you stay on track. Set a reasonable goal, and try to have everything set up then.
Create a realistic plan, but don’t be too hard on yourself if the process takes a little longer than you expected. Following these useful tips will ensure the unpacking moves along smoothly.
The bathroom and at least one bedroom. These are the two spaces you need functioning on night one, before you tackle the kitchen, living areas or garage.
Always before. It’s far quicker to clean an empty room than to clean around furniture and boxes, and you won’t be tracking dirt onto items you’ve just unpacked.
Most households can unpack essentials within a few days and have the whole house liveable within one to two weeks. Setting a specific target date helps prevent boxes lingering in the garage for months.
Before. Positioning furniture first means every box you open has an obvious home for its contents, rather than being unpacked onto the floor and moved twice.
Set up their room completely first, before tackling shared spaces like the kitchen or lounge. Having one finished, familiar space early gives them somewhere to feel settled while the rest of the house is still in boxes.
