Eight Tips for Moving into a New Home

1
Create a moving check list – Moving into a new home takes a lot of preparation. Ensure a smooth transition by developing a check list of what you need to accomplish at least two months prior to your move in date. Your list should include important steps like deciding on a moving company, selecting new furniture, contacting utility companies, banks, and schools and when to start packing.


2
Make a plan and map it out - Your new home will likely have a different layout as you’ve made the choice to build a new home in the style you want. Whether you’re buying new furniture or moving furniture from your current home, create a map of each room in your new home to make optimal use of furniture, decorations, window treatments and open spaces.


3
Create openness – when arranging your furniture in each room, make sure you do not block doors or walkways, or cover windows with elaborate window treatments. The more you can see through and around a room the bigger it will feel.


4
Go green – A new home offers the perfect opportunity to add energy efficient appliances to create a stylish and environmentally friendly living space. Plus, with the range of appliance available in different sizes and finishes, you can make green fit your lifestyle.


5
Keep it simple – Clear away the clutter before you move into your new home. This is your dream home and it’s your palette to create the living space you’ve always wanted. Make your new home as inviting as possible by using smart space design.


6
Make it bright – A well lit room with either natural or full spectrum bulbs coupled with soft wall colors creates a more spacious and open living space. Work with your new home designer to create a warm and inviting environment that you and your family will love.


7
Get the latest technology – New homes offer the opportunity to incorporate the latest technology, including home automation for everything from setting the alarm on the security system to turning on the AC. Plus, with a new home it’s easy to go wireless throughout the home for your computer(s), phone (s), music and more.


8
Landscape for your growing zone – Your outdoor living space and yard are an important part of why you chose your new home. Work with a professional landscaper or research your growing zone and decide on the type of plants and level of maintenance you want to undertake as part of your move in plan.
