Moving to a new home is like living off in a fresh start. This is an exciting moment for most people and also a stressful one. There are many things that are needed to be planned from the wall paints, assignment of rooms, placement of furniture, electricals, etc.
If you're in this dilemma, try knowing these pointers by houzz and Interiorstylehunter to get you ready on that move.
1. Change all locks and keys
Security comes first before anything else. An important tip given by houzz is to change the locks or even get a locksmith to have new locks ready as soon as you get the keys on your new residence, flat or apartment.
2. Get Plumbing, Electricals and Mechanical Systems Checked up
These are all important features of the house and for new homeowners. This must be properly checked out so that the hassle in your move-in may be lessened. Try to check if you need to replace something especially if there are parts that were damaged or rusty.
If you're not that familiar with these, seeking help with a plumber and even an electrician may help you know if there are needed replacements or fixing needed for your new home.
3. Use Home Layout Sketch for Furniture Placement
Interiorstylehunter says to use the home layout sketch to plan and visualize where your existing furnitures will go or if you need to buy more. This method will help figure out clearly how your space will be.
4. Plan the Rooms in your House
You need to ask the question for every room, who will use the space? or what will be the room for? Interiorstylehunter advises that by knowing who will use it and what is the room for, you can then decide what materials will be used inside the house, for instance the flooring, if it is carpeted or you need it to be a "hard weared" type if you will mostly use that room.
Aside from this, you can also figure out the right color and design needed for the room especially if used by your teenaged kids or toddlers.
5. Check Roof and Heating System
This is also an important aspect especially if the place you moved in is known for heavy winter and even weird weather. Properly working heating system is needed to ready ourselves for that cold weather. Checking of roofs are important as well, you don't want to have leaks on your new home so make sure to have it checked too to get ready for that rainy season.
