Finally, you stepped into your new home last week, with assistance from the professionals of Agarwal Packers, so a big congratulations on that! You pulled off this major responsibility well! But now what lies ahead of you is giving you chills. All the mounds of unopened moving boxes and cartons lying all over the place are neither looking decent nor are you able to start with your new routine, even after arriving here a few days back. So, what to do now? Do you have any unpacking plans? Or, any home organization strategy that you thought of before the move? Well, if not, then you can get good help from this informative blog post because here, we shall talk about how you can synchronize your post-move routine with just a few tips!
So, let’s get started!
• Unpack and establish with a plan – It would be great if you keep an unpacking strategy in mind for the post-moving tasks – unpacking and re-arrangement of the moving boxes. This will not only help you to wrap up the unpacking timely but also help you to organize your space pretty well. Just make sure you know which room or which corner to start from and then start. No need to rush into things, you can continue with the task at your convenience and pace.
• Keep cartons in desired rooms – The first thing you can do, before starting with unpacking is, keep the moving cartons in the desired rooms. The carton marked with ‘Kitchen’ should be moved to the kitchen space, and the one marked with ‘Bedroom’ should be moved to the bedroom and so on! Do this for the rest of the moving boxes and then wrap up one room at a time! Do not unpack the cartons if you do not need the goods kept in them immediately.
• Start with your kitchen section – When it comes to setting up your space, start with unpacking the cartons belonging to your kitchen. There would be cartons of ‘crockery’, ‘cutlery’, and other utensils and objects. If you cannot unpack and re-arrange them all by yourself, keep them aside to be managed next time. We would advise you to start with unpacking and arranging the essential items first so that you can prepare your meals, at least. Set up your burner; bring out the bottles of spices, plates, and a few utensils first.
• Establish your beds, bedroom – Though, by now you would have set up your bedrooms with the help of the professionals of Agarwal Packers and Movers because you need that space to be organized first, for sound sleep and good rest, we would advise you to start with the arrangement of the bedding materials now if you have not done that. Start by preparing your bed and keep the remaining linens and bedding materials arranged well within the cupboards. Take your time but do it in one day.
• Unpack the bathroom basics – If you only unpacked the bathroom essentials, but the rest of the items belonging to this space are still within the unopened moving cartons; make sure you arrange them all now. There would be bottles of cleaning supplies and items like bathrobes, bathing towels, mirrors, shower curtains, and other sealed toiletries that need to be taken out and organized in your washroom. So, do that. But keep in mind, to give your washroom a deep clean-up before using it.
• Plan your meals or order them – The reason why we mentioned the kitchen first in this post-move organization plan, is because we would need that space right after we have moved into our new home. Making this space functional first is important because we will have to prepare our meals and cook for the coming days. But, if you are not willing to get into cooking soon after moving in, you can always order meals and have a good time having that with your family.
• Set-up appliances and furniture – Have you installed your microwave oven, your induction cooker, and other furniture and fixtures? Did the experts help you in fixing them up in your space? If they did, then great! All you need to do is just wipe the interiors and surfaces of the oven, fridge, and other wooden fittings using a damp cloth so there they look clean upon installation. Furniture should be organized as per the floor plan so your space doesn’t look clumsy.
• Accomplish all post-move duties – While the unpacking and home organization tasks would keep going but you must have a plan of dealing with the post-relocation tasks that would come up. This includes notifying the service providers of your location and other essential authorities that you need to communicate to, to align all your immediate tasks. You must also establish your accounts from the new place so you remain updated on any new developments.
• Spend time to explore the place – Now that you have looked after all the preliminary duties – from organizing to calling up the service providers and are gradually getting a good grasp over the changing atmosphere and new place, why not spend some more time in acknowledging the good things in the new city? Visit interesting places and landmarks, go for walks, explore everything that compels you, and have a good time. This break would be much needed after a long-long journey and all those extensive unpacking tasks!
• Fulfill any left-out unpacking tasks – Well, we hope by now your new home appears like a beautiful set-up space with all the goods organized appropriately in their designated place. In case you are left with any of your unpacking tasks, make sure you do that and visualize your new home the way you always dreamt of. Start building connections, communicate with people, and prepare for your first day at the workplace with all your important paperwork and formalities.
A smooth relocation is an outcome of several things well synchronized and executed! In case, you are looking for some brilliant unpacking and home-organization tips, this article is for you. But ensure you book the experts from Agarwal Movers and Packers, so you have a good time moving.
