Buying a new house is one of the most fulfilling experiences in life. Your home is your personal space and you would always want to make it special. Although, it is extremely exciting to move into your home, make sure you keep these tips handy so that the transition is smooth.
Pack the stuff in slots, name them into categories
Show them what needs to be packed together, slot them out into living room, bedroom, kids’s room, kitchen and bathroom accessories. Mark every box with specific details so that you understand what’s there in each box. Pack delicate stuff like handicraft, artefacts, crockery etc in cushioned boxes and mark them as ‘fragile’.
Supervise the process
Don’t try to manage everything by yourself, take help from parents and friends to supervise the process of moving in. Allot one member at every point of change in hand. This will ensure that everything reaches your new home in one piece. Ask them not to rub heavy furniture against each other, not the bang boxes marked as ‘fragile’ and handle them carefully, etc.
Make sure all the work is complete before you move in
Do not plan to move in even if a tad bit of the work is incomplete. Since, it is extremely difficult to make any changes once you move in. Even if small things like one of your designer walls is yet to be done or a cabinet in your kitchen is yet to be fixed, wait till they are all set. Do not hurry up.
Start with one section at a time
Do not open all the boxes at a time, start with one section at a time. This will ensure accuracy and finesse. Its best to begin with the living room as it is the first room that opens the door to your home. Then gradually set the other rooms. Although, you can seek help from friends to set up all sections of your house, make sire the bedroom is done only by you and your spouse, since its your personal space and needs to be done up with love and care.
