Getting Settled into Your New Home

Congratulations! You are in your new home and ready to begin anew. Creating a new home environment is exciting. Before you begin unpacking, pause and take a moment to consider your newfound space. This is the perfect time to begin creating an uncluttered and improved lifestyle.

Even though you might have purged and donated while packing for this move, unpack and reconsider every item to determine whether you will use it before you assign it a home.

Your life may have changed dramatically since your last move. Do you have more children or are perhaps now empty nesters? Even if nothing much has changed in your life besides your new home, it makes sense to rethink your old storage routines before you recreate them again.

Rethink each room before you unpack your boxes. Ask yourself these questions:

What activities will take place in each room?
What items will be needed for these activities?
How many people will use this space?

Create one room that will be your haven until your home is in order. Start unpacking with this goal in mind. The master bedroom is a great place to begin. Work on that space until it is unpacked completely or at least until it feels like home. Comforter and bed skirt are in place, pillows fluffed, and bedside table is equipped with all necessities. This way, after each day that you are unpacking, you can slip away to sleep in a non-chaotic environment. You will awake feeling refreshed and much less stressed with at least one area in order.

Before you load your wardrobe closets, think about how you decide to get dressed everyday. For instance, I begin by determining which top I will wear. This starts with what sleeve length; sleeveless, short, ¾ or long. Once I make this choice, which is usually based on the weather, I then make the decision about what slacks, shorts, skirts or jeans I will also wear that day. After that, my choice becomes shoes. Based on this routine, I place my shirts in the front of the closet, followed by slacks, skirts and then shoes in the back.

There is no single way to get dressed, some people start with pants, others shoes. Load the closet following the method that each person uses to get dressed. This way, when you have finished unpacking each closet, the space within will be customized and optimized for each family member.
