Are you moving into a new apartment in the coming weeks? Well, moving in is not easy. It takes a lot of courage to leave a part of your life behind and make a new start.
Apart from that, the toughest part is to get settled in the new place. Of course, it’s not easy to adjust; however, a few things can definitely add to your comfort. For one, you can work with a reliable moving company to make sure your move goes smoothly.
The following is a list of things that you need to move one by one in order to feel at home and stay comfortable throughout the process:
Bathroom Essentials
Instead of moving all your personal belongings at once, start taking baby steps. The first thing that needs to go live in your new apartment is your bathroom. Here is everything you need to move initially:
- A few toilet rolls and spare towels
- Toothpaste and toothbrushes
- A shampoo, a conditioner, and a shower gel
- A shaving cream, razors, and a trimmer
- Bathroom curtains and an area rug
- A toilet brush and a mop
Kitchen Essentials
Once you have your bathroom in place, start moving your kitchen stuff. Needless to say, you cannot eat in takeout boxes every day, so having your kitchen fully set is mandatory. Thus, please make sure you have all these things:
- Plates, bowls, and glasses
- A teapot and a few mugs
- Cutlery, knives, and a cutting board
- A frying pan and a few cooking stoves
- The required groceries and some ready-to-eat snacks
- The required kitchen appliances, including a refrigerator and a microwave oven
Cleaning Essentials
While you may skip clearing for a week or two when moving into a new apartment, you cannot go on like that forever. In case you don’t regularly clean it, it will start looking old pretty soon. Not to mention, it will affect your property value. Thus, you must get all the cleaning essentials immediately, including:
- Dish soap and a toilet bowl cleaner
- A broom, a mop, and a water bucket
- Laundry detergent and a washing machine
- A vacuum cleaner and a squeegee
- Rubber gloves and microfibre cloths
- A few sponges, small-sized towels, and tissue papers
Miscellaneous Items
All the things listed above need to be present when you move into your new house. When finally moving in, you must take the following things with you so that you feel comfortable and in case you need any immediate fixing, you can do it by yourself. These things are:
- A Wi-Fi router
- A DIY toolbox and a first-aid kit
- A few spray bottles, a scissor, and a duct tape
- A portable 5000w generator
- A few hangers for your clothes
- Table mats and area rugs
- Disinfectant wipes and a bug-repellent spray
Decor Essentials
Last but not least, once you’re settled in, you can move towards your decor essentials. Your new apartment, of course, cannot look exactly like your old one, given that it would have a different design and construction. However, you can make it look pretty just like the old one. The following are the things you’ll need for decorations:
- A few paintings and mini sculptures
- Some vases and colorful washable plants
- A few religious ornaments and antique pieces
- Throwaway blankets for your bed and sofas
- Curtain ropes and window liners
And that’s about it… Remember that moving is a tiring process, so make sure to take one step at a time. Rest assured, following the sequence mentioned above, you’ll do just fine.
