Use a System
Before unpacking boxes, establish a system. All the boxes that belong in one room should stay organized together. Also, decide which rooms to unpack first and ensure all boxes end up in the right room.
Most moving experts suggest focusing on the following certain rooms after unboxing the essentials.
Kitchen
This is one of the most important spaces because families need to eat. Most people prioritize unloading the following:
- Coffee maker
- Perishable food items
- Cleaning supplies
Bedrooms
Unpacking the bedroom gives each family member a place to rest and sleep the first night. Place and make the beds with linens, obtain access to at least one set of clothing and remember this is one space where having essentials unpacked turns the house into a home.
Bathrooms
These don't need much to be ready for use. Install the shower curtain and set out towels, toilet paper, and toiletries, but the other stuff can wait.
Set about correctly organizing the boxes to avoid distractions or disruptions to the family's focus or sleeping schedule.
Other Areas
After the bathroom, bed, and other necessary items are where they should be, move on to the other place in the new home. This includes the garage, living or dining room, and utility rooms.
Prioritize
One good idea while packing is creating an essentials box. This contains all the belongings the family needs for the first few hours in the house. It's the first box to start unpacking and contains the most important items.
Work Big To Small
To efficiently organize the space, focus on furniture placement and arrange it on the floor. This includes adding in any major appliances the home misses. Placing furniture and large items creates space to put other things like books. In areas without furniture, like the bathroom, this tip isn't as important.
Obtain Help
Having friends help can make the move fun. It can give the kids something to do as well. With professional help, things like filling out the necessary paperwork also become less daunting.
