Moving to a New Flat? This is Something to Keep in Mind!

Moving house can be a dream come true, but also a stressful necessity. However, whatever the reason, it is worth doing everything you can to make the whole process as smooth as possible. This will save you a lot of time, money and, above all, stress.

The best way to go about a move Is to make a detailed plan of action. If you follow the rules you have established in advance, everything will run smoothly, and even if unplanned chaos does occur, you will be able to get it under control quickly. The list will ensure that you have not forgotten anything and that the right amount of time has been allocated to all stages of the work.

As a furniture manufacturer, we deal with removals on a daily basis, so we know full well that it's good to take care of the paperwork at the outset. During the first few days in your new place, you won't have time to inform the various institutions of your change of address. In most cases, you can do this quietly before you move. You can also make arrangements with your internet, telephone or television providers. In addition, if you decide to buy customised furniture, it is worth ordering its transport to your new location. In this way, the finished made-to-measure kitchen can still be decorated before the main move.

When setting the date for your change of address, take into account that it will be difficult for you to function normally for at least a few days. At least a short holiday will certainly be useful. It is also a good idea to think about possible care for children and pets, so that they avoid the stress of the move and can come to an already furnished place.

Made-to-Measure Bathroom Furniture - When is it the best option?

We've already mentioned preliminarily about arranging a made-to-measure kitchen and exactly the same principle applies to the bathroom. If you get the keys to your new flat some time before you plan to move, it is worth ensuring that the basic rooms are already prepared for use. Piles of cardboard boxes are less of a nuisance when you can use the sanitary facilities with peace of mind and are not forced to eat fast food throughout the period of settling into your new space. Customised kitchen cabinets and bathroom furniture will allow you to adapt quickly in your new space. If you label cartons of food, crockery or toiletries, it will only take a few hours to fully furnish the interiors. You can successfully order your dream bathroom cabinets to measure long before you plan to move. This is a good idea even if both the handover of keys and the moving of your belongings are to take place on the same day. It takes some time to produce the furniture to your specifications, and this way you will be sure that everything arrives at the right time. Plus, you'll avoid the pressure of nervously choosing furniture at the last minute. By opting for made-to-measure kitchen furniture or bathroom furniture, you give yourself the chance to tailor the build to your needs.


Arranging the Space in a New Flat

It is often the case that the space you live in does not quite suit your tastes and needs. Over time, you stop noticing this or simply lack the motivation to change. Moving house is the ideal opportunity to arrange everything the way you like it. This will make even mundane everyday tasks more enjoyable for you. Does washing up annoy you? Maybe it's high time to invest in a dishwasher. Are your clothes always crumpled and don't have enough room for them? In this case, a customised wardrobe is the ideal purchase. The most important thing to have is a good plan. It is worth establishing what is important to you. If you don't have the budget to buy all new furniture, you can always start making gradual changes. For one person, personalised bespoke bathroom cabinets are a dream, while someone else will opt for bespoke bookcases that can act as a home library. As a furniture manufacturer, we are well aware of the discomfort that ill-fitting furniture can cause. If you don't like to cook and are only a guest in the kitchen, a bar might be a much better choice than another row of cabinets. Furniture manufacturing is now at an all-time high, so you can be sure to find the bespoke furniture of your dreams.

What's worth bearing in mind when moving house?

Finally, we've put together some more technical information to make the moving process easier. The thing that will make you sleepless is the packing itself. That's why it's important to start early enough. This will give you the opportunity to sort things out and get rid of items you no longer use or want.. What all your belongings are packed in is also important. Some removal companies also provide cardboard boxes as part of their service package. If your chosen company does not guarantee this, you will need to make sure you get the cardboard boxes yourself. The easiest way is to go to the shops. Retailers usually give away the cardboard boxes without a problem, as they would have been for recycling anyway. You can pack clothes, bedding and soft accessories in bags. Scented bags are a good idea. This way, properly protected items will get a nice aroma and will not require additional washing. When packing your belongings, pack things that will be stored together in some place, which will then make the process of laying out your items in your new place easier. If your wardrobe is just waiting to be filled, you can sort your clothes according to the shelves and hangers where your shirts or trousers should go. The same goes for kitchen and bathroom cabinets, a desk or a bespoke bookcase. Packing accessories with a specific piece of furniture in mind makes it extremely easy to set up in the new place. Labelling bags and cartons is also a good idea. You can even do this with a simple marker.
