Moving house is something that most of us will do at least once in our lives. Whether it’s a move to university, a move for a new job or a move for love, moving is a part of many of our lives. It can feel very overwhelming and many of us find it extremely stressful but there can also be many benefits to moving. You could be moving to your dream home or a wonderful new area. Moving house is actually filled with new opportunities and within today’s article we are going to help you make your new house a home. And let you in on how our storage Houghton Regis will help. 

Do The Boring Stuff First

Moving comes with a lot of admin, much of which cannot and should not be avoided. It is best to get this sort of stuff done and dusted in the first week so it is out of the way and you get to enjoy your new home. 

You will need to set up utilities and services – electricity, gas, water, internet, television, phone line and waste/recycling collection – as soon as possible as these are essential for daily life. You will also want to check smoke alarms and consider your security options. 

Add Your Personal Style With The Help Of Our Storage Houghton Regis 

A great way to make your new house feel like a home is to add your own personal style to it. This could be via simple steps such as adding art and photos to the walls, throws and cushions to the furniture. These will add your own personal style but also make the home feel more cosy and inviting. 

If you want to go bigger, you could decorate or do some renovations. These will help you to make the new house your own but it will create a mess and you do not want your belongings getting damaged. Whilst you are decorating/renovating, you could bring your belongings to our storage Houghton Regis where it will be kept safe from the mess and safe in general. Our storage Houghton Regis is extremely secure, with intruder alarms on all our units and 24/7 CCTV around the entire Houghton Regis facility. 

New House, Fresh Start 

We can have a lot of old, often bad habits in our lives and moving home is a chance to change some of these bad habits. Moving house offers a clean slate as major changes help people to be more open to other changes and new ideas. 

These good new habits could be things such as:

• Designate areas or spots for things. Add labels and invest in storage containers so everything stays tidy and organised. 
• Set a cleaning schedule and stick to it. 
• Declutter on a regular schedule. This will help to keep your new home organised and clutter free.

Get To Know Your Local Community

If you have moved to a new area, it is really important to get to know your local community. Introduce yourself to your new neighbours, join online community groups. This is a great way to get to know practical information, such as who is a great local electrician, but it will also help you to make new friends and become a part of the community. 

You could also look for local clubs or groups that spark your interest such as book clubs or art groups. 

Get Out And About 

Another great way to get to know your local community is to actually get out in it. Go for a wander around your new neighbourhood, scoping out local shops that will be useful to you. 

It is also a good idea to figure out your transport options such as the local bus route or nearest train station. Knowing this will help you to explore your new home with ease and confidence.
