Moving to a new home is both physically and emotionally stressful. There are so many decisions to be made that also make it a mentally exhausting process, but moving is only half the job. Unpacking your new home can be just as overwhelming. Using Self Storage in Adelaide from Self Storage Australia Holden Hill is just one of the ways to make the moving and unpacking process a lot less stressful.

Prepare a written plan of action

Creating a timeline and written plan of action will be beneficial to the process. Writing everything down will get it all out of your head, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting anything. Include deadlines for each task, such as packing your old house, renting Self Storage in Adelaide, and unpacking each room. Your timeline will service as your master list for each box you pack.

Rent your Self Storage in Adelaide

Self Storage in Adelaide will make the moving and unpacking process a lot less stressful. Use your storage unit to keep boxes you won’t need to access immediately out of the way. Such items could include off-season sports equipment, archived documents, and your reading books. Having this extra storage space will help you organise your new home room by room.

Pack a survival package

Anything you absolutely need the first night in your new home should all be packed together. Some of the items you should include in your survival package are:

  • Essential medications
  • Pyjamas and a change of clothes
  • Bedding (including pillows and sheets)
  • Essential toiletries (including deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste, and soap)
  • Cash for emergencies

Transport your survival packages in your personal vehicle rather than with the removalists so you always know exactly where they are.

Unpacking priorities

Labelling your boxes in detail will make the unpacking process a lot easier. Boxes with items for your kitchen and dining room should be some of the first unpacked. Even if you don’t plan on cooking any meals in the first few days after the big move, you’ll still need things like cups, plates, and cutlery for eating takeaway.

Your second unboxing priority should be the bathrooms. After spending all day packing, moving, and unpacking, you’re going to want to spend a lot of time relaxing in the shower or bath. Make sure your bathroom supplies, including towels, soaps, and skincare products, are unpacked quickly. You’ll also need to ensure your bathrooms are stocked with toilet paper as soon as possible after you move in.

Organising your home with Self Storage in Adelaide

If you’ve moved most of your boxes into your Self Storage in Adelaide, the unpacking process can be quite easy. Pick a room to unpack each day, and bring only the necessary boxes into your room at a time. This will make it easier to move in your large furniture items safely.
