Moving into a new home is an exciting time. But even if you are super excited about your new place, it can take a little while to get settled in—and for your new place to actually feel like home.
But luckily, there are things you can do to speed along the process. A recent article from realtor.com outlined smart moving tips to help you settle into your new home, including:
Include personal items in your priority unpacking. As you are unpacking, you will want to unpack the items you need first—whether that is kitchenware, bedding, or clothing. But if you want your new place to feel like home, you will also want to prioritize unpacking a few personal items—for example, family photos or personal keepsakes.
Schedule installation services on day 1. In order to feel settled in your new place, it needs to be functional—so as soon as you have your move-in day, make sure to schedule any necessary installation services (for example, cable and internet) as soon as possible.
Schedule downtime. Moving can be a long, exhausting process—and if you are feeling exhausted and depleted, it can be hard to get settled. So, if you want to feel at home (and fast!), make sure you are scheduling plenty of breaks and time to rest, recharge, and enjoy your new space.
