If you’ve just moved into your new home, you might be overwhelmed by the mountains of boxes surrounding you in your kitchen, dining room, and den. Take a deep breath—it’ll be okay. Unpacking might seem like a nightmare, but there are smart ways to unpack and sort through your boxes that will ensure a fast, efficient, and even enjoyable unpacking process.

Here are a few quick tips for unpacking after you move into your new home:

  • Clean before you start. Before unpacking your first box, give your new home a thorough sweep and a once-over with soap and water. It will make your unit sparkle before you start laying out your furniture.
  • Unpack one room at a time. To avoid chaos, and items getting lost or moved, consider unpacking one room at a time. You will end up doing a more thorough, careful job than if you attempt the unpacking process all at once.
  • Make a plan. Surely, in your new home, your items will not be laid out in the exact format they were in your old house. Before you start unpacking, it helps to move boxes into room where you think their items would be most useful.
  • Unpack your kitchen and bedrooms first. If you have children, especially, unpacking the bedrooms is an important part of moving into a new home. Living in a room full of boxes makes it difficult to feel settled and at home. Having an organized kitchen is just as important.
  • Recycle your moving boxes. Once you’ve emptied your moving boxes, get rid of them. There is no need to keep stacks and stacks of empty boxes in your home.
  • Don’t be afraid to purge, again. Before you moved, you probably got rid of a bunch of stuff. There is nothing wrong with recycling, gifting, or donating more items as you unpack. If you are downsizing, you may realize that your new home will simply not accommodate all of your furniture and other items.
  • Make it a family affair. Unpacking is a great way to spend family time together and start to make your new house feel like a home. Get everyone involved, and assign different people to unpack different rooms.
  • Unpack your garage and outdoor areas last. The garage and outdoor spaces like sheds should not take priority in the unpacking process. You need to focus on liveable areas first.

Moving is an exciting affair. Alleviate stress on your moving day by hiring a professional moving service to help you pack, move, and unpack.
