Congratulations! You’ve successfully executed your move and are living in your new house. But, how do you make it feel like a home? Follow these simple tips, and you’ll soon feel settled.
Deep Clean
For many of us, deep cleaning feels like a chore, but it will help you feel more settled. If you have the chance, start cleaning before you make the move. Otherwise, make the time to work around the furniture and the boxes.
Once you’ve scrubbed out the nooks and crannies of the house, you’ll feel in a much better position to start organizing. It will be well worth the effort.
Be Comfy
Sometimes, it’s the everyday comforts that make us feel established.
Don’t forget to pack your clean sheets and bedding in an “open first” box so that you have them immediately when you get to the new house. Make up the beds first so that at the end of a long moving day you will have a place to lay your tired body.
Light some of your favorite scented candles to fill your home with a familiar aroma that will have you creating new memories in your home.
Stick to Your Regular Routine
If you used to wake up in your old house and wander around with a coffee, then get everything in place so that you can do that in your new home.
If you used to throw your keys on the hallway table, then make sure that table is in place as well.
Recreating a routine will help you feel settled. Remember, you can always change it later.
Cook Some Homemade Meals
Nothing can beat the smell and pleasant feelings that come with a lovingly cooked meal. Keep the recipes simple, and you can’t go wrong.
Enjoy your new kitchen and appliances. Bring everyone together for a family meal and your new house will start to feel like home.
Relax in Each Room
Take the opportunity to get to know each room. Discover everything about your new place.
Learn what you like most about each room; Which room is best for the sun in the morning? What is the best way to organize the linen closet? Learn where all the light switches are.
Think of your new house as your new best friend and try to get to know everything about it.
Decorate
A new home gives you a chance for new decorating possibilities. Now that you are in your new place it’s time to get some decorating inspiration.
Check out the numerous inspiring Pinterest boards and perhaps consult your friends for advice on where to purchase new decor items to fill your home. Take a little time to plan out what colors you want in your new home.
You may want to paint some rooms to personalize your space. Look online, and you’ll find thousands of unique house projects that are sure to get your creative juices flowing.
Take Your Time
Take your time with adjusting. Your new house might not feel like home after the first evening, but step by step you’ll soon feel like it is. Take the time to relax and enjoy the comforts of your new home.
