That’s right: moving home doesn’t have to be full of stress: it can be fun, too. Moving into a new home is only as fun as you allow it to be. A new home means new ideas and experiences to be had, so why not channel all that from the moment you step over the threshold?
Get Crafty
There’s no denying that we have become dependent on technology, and one of the biggest problems when moving home is the possibility that you may not immediately have access to the internet, a computer, or a television. If there is a waiting period once you have moved into your home before you can get back online, consider filling the spare time with arts and crafts. This is the perfect opportunity to make some new, quirky items for your home and get creative without becoming distracted by technology.
You’re also going to have many spare boxes left over from your move when you come to unpack your things. Is there anything you can make out of the boxes? Using a professional removal service like Low Country Moving means you can trust your boxes will still be intact and completely recyclable, whatever you decide to do with them.
Create a Moodboard
You’ll undoubtedly want to decorate your new home and add a touch of personality to it. Yet sometimes the idea of re-decorating an entire home can be overwhelming and a dreaded task. By creating a moodboard, you can plan in advance how you want your rooms to look – and once you have the perfect plan together and can see the designs working in harmony, the chances are that you’ll be eager to begin the transformation and excited for your decorating plans.
Create the Perfect Soundtrack
There’s nothing like a good melody to keep you motivated. You can create the perfect playlist in advance to have on while you unpack your items, and feel free to have fun with it: a family belting out Disney classic isn’t the worst thing for a move, after all. The louder and more fun, the better the music will keep you feeling productive and give you all a much needed energy boost.
Take Photos
This may sound like the last thing you want to do during a busy move with nothing of importance to photograph other than boxes, but a lot of people neglect how important these memories are. You’re only going to be moving into your new home once, and every step is a worthy and valuable memory.
Even if it’s just a snap of your living room before you manage to unpack everything or even decorate, it can be a treasured memory when you compare it to how your home is going to look months down the line, and you can use it as a tool to see how far you’ve come and how much you’ve achieved since first moving in. It’s the perfect snap for a home scrapbook, too!
