When it concerns the task of moving a house altogether, it isn’t something that is a cakewalk. There is a lot that is involved in making arrangements just so that you get to move with ease while settling down in no time. One of the most important aspects of moving is packing all that you own and taking them along.

Whether it is the expert removalists in Gold Coast to help you to pack or you are doing things yourself, the foremost thing to keep in mind is getting rid of junk which is common in most homes especially when you have been living for long. Old clothes, newspaper, books, furniture and almost everything else that is dysfunctional stays in the attic. This is a great time to get rid of all of that and thus making packing easy. After packing is done, unpacking becomes a priority where you have to settle down at the new house.

When it comes to unpacking, some people are skeptical about it due to the effort that would go in and so here are a few tips to help you ease things out.

1) Only pack those things that you need

unpacking-tips

When you pack only the essentials in the first place, you save up on the efforts of unpacking them as well. Junk and useless stuff would take up a lot of time as well as space in your new house. Therefore, when you initially start with the packing, ensure that you sort out the essentials and accordingly move. This saves a lot of your time during unpacking, and you only focus on your priorities.

2) Sort of your essential requirements first

You cannot set up a new house with all your belongings in place in a single day. It takes time and effort to ensure that everything is in its designated area, is accessible and makes the house aesthetically appealing. For this, you could mark boxes that contain essentials such as the clothing, cosmetics, medicines, shoes, books, kitchenware, etc. Opening these boxes first and then taking out time in the days to come to put the rest in place makes you feel less anxious.

3) Always refer to your inventory

An inventory is what you prepare when you first start to pack things. It includes details of all that goes into each box. At your new house, there may be times when you need a particular item from a box but do not know where to find it. The inventory is what comes to your rescue. You get to refer to it and spot the box that contains what you need and accordingly open it. This saves up on the effort of opening all packed boxes and making a mess out of things.

4) Take one room at a time

When you had packed your belongings, they would naturally be sorted according to the rooms it belongs to. When that is done, you get to make things easy for yourself. Whenever you make plans to set up a particular room. Pick the designated boxes and get along. This would save time as well as your effort of making a mess out of the house.

5) Use Tapes to Mark the Furniture Placement

It will be quick and easy for the professionals to place your furniture (especially the big ones) to the designated spots of your room by using tapes. Outline the space you will need for keeping your furniture with the tapes so that the experts can detect the areas quickly and place the furniture accordingly.

6) Start with Unpacking the Stuff of your Toilet and Bedroom

Whether you have kids in your home or not, you need to first focus on unpacking the toilet and bedroom. After the hectic schedule of moving is over, your body will undoubtedly crave for some rest that you will find in your new bedroom.

And, the toilet is a necessity. So, don’t delay to take out the toiletries as soon as possible. You can’t ignore the relaxation of a fresh shower after the stressful moving day.

7) Unpack the Kitchen Last

Firstly, it is because there will be crockery and breakable plates that you have carefully packed relying on the top 8 tips to follow while packing and moving with fragile goods. So, those can break down if you unpack it in a hurry. Secondly, the kitchen is not that necessary.

After the hectic schedule of moving, you might want to order some food instead of cooking. So, it’s better to leave the kitchen unpacking for the next day.

8) Don’t Do the Unpacking by Yourself

unpacking-tips

Last but certainly not the least, don’t take charge of unpacking by yourself. It’s going to strike you after the removal is over. Also, it will take a lot of time.

Some people plan to go for half unpacking instead of opting for a full package. That’s a huge mistake indeed. After you are done with the job allocation and creating identification marks for furniture placement, you can stay relaxed and let the professionals handle the job.

I was deeply impressed by Pat's thorough & kind communication style when I made some inquiries. I had never experienced such friendly & informative responses from any other removalist companies I contacted before. On the day, Pat's guys arrived right on time. Te & the team did an amazing job for me. They were all very courteous and brilliantly fast & smart. I have hired many removalists before and experienced them stretching out time, damaging my furniture, and stopping work & smoking cigarettes for ages when I wasn't on-site. Pat's guys Te & the team worked incredibly hard and got the job done very well in half the time other companies' guys would have. I can highly recommend Richards Removals. Richards would tremendously reduce the enormous stress & hassle of your relocating. Pat, Te & the team, thank you very much!!

I would highly recommend using Richards, they moved me from my home into a storage unit. The two young men completed the move without an issue and in very efficient time. Ash and Jake were very personable and polite. I am using Richards again to move from the storage unit to the new house and have requested these two young gentlemen do the move. I was asked by a neighbour could I recommend someone for their move in January so I of course said Richards.
