Unpacking Tips After a Big Home Move

After many days of stressful and tiring preparation for your home move, you finally arrived at your new home with all your belongings your movers and packers Dubai have packed and delivered. The last thing you will think about is to unpack your items and you surely want to take a break and just lay down. You will not feel the urge and pressure to unpack which sometimes lead to procrastination. Of course, you have the option to do so since you don’t have a particular date for this task compared to when you are still planning for the big day.

Regardless of how big your move was, unpacking can be overwhelming. If you want to avoid procrastination and want to start this task as soon as you can, here are some tips you may follow to a more organized unpacking.

1.    Prepare an essential box

As the name suggests, an essential box is a necessary box to prepare for a home move. This should include toiletries, medicine, food, a few changes of clothing and other necessitates for each member of the family. This will be used for a couple of days or a week at your new home to avoid unnecessary digging through a great number of your moving boxes just to get the thing you and your family need. This will truly save you time and will avoid messy moving boxes all over your new home.

An essential box is even more needed if you are having an interstate move and you have hired long-distance movers in Dubai. There are some issues that might occur because of inevitable circumstances such as bad weather. This can cause some delays in the delivery of your belongings so having this box will get you through a week at your new home.

2.    Clean your new house

A clean home is a happy home. This may sound cliché but surely a true one. Having a clean home helps to create a positive mindset for everyone in the house, and it also ensures a healthy environment. When you bought a house with a previous owner or occupant, they have done some cleaning but sometimes, only the surface or visible dirt. Thus, cleaning the entire home is vital before moving any of your stuff in. It is highly recommended to do a deep clean before you start unpacking and arranging your furniture and other belongings.

You have the option to clean your new home yourself. But you need to make sure to make a box for cleaning materials. This box should have all-purpose cleaners, paper towels, brooms, and the like. However, if you don’t have time to clean, you can ask for help from people at Helpling. They can even disinfect and sanitize your new home for you to have a fresh home once you arrive.

3.    Create an unpacking order

Once you arrive at your new home, start to create an unpacking order. Start with listing all rooms and spaces you have in your new house and sort each room based on their importance. You should start with the rooms that you frequently use like the bedroom. Why? Unpacking the boxes that belong to your bedroom is a good start since you surely want to sleep and rest from the tiring big day. Next, you can tackle the kitchen for you to prepare food for the whole family.

Afterwards, you can unpack the items in the lesser-used spaces like the guest bedroom and formal living area. Finally, you can unpack the boxes for your storage areas like the garage or your basement. Don’t forget to also create a room plan where to place your furniture and other stuff for you to easily arrange all your belongings.

4.    Create and follow the timetable

Immediately after creating the unpacking order, create a plan by choosing a specific date on when you want to finish unpacking and make sure to follow the timetable. Remember to base it on your schedule and most especially with the people helping with the task. This will give you enough time to finish the task within your schedule to have a more organized unpacking.

As mentioned, procrastination is typically the main reason people can’t unpack all their belongings as planned. To avoid this, you need to have the motivation to finish this task such as a housewarming party. This way, you can stick to your plan and schedule because you certainly want to make your new home look orderly and stunning when your friends and family members pay you a visit.
