Distribute your boxes strategically
Entry days are crazy. You will probably feel that you are in a hurry to try to empty your truck or van as quickly as possible. It may be tempting to just throw all your moving boxes in the pile next to the door and disassemble them later. However, we strongly recommend against this. We know it is hard to get motivated to start unpacking and that it is much easier just to leave it. Instead, we recommend that you take the time to put your boxes in the rooms where they should be from the very beginning. Here you can use any labeling system that you created during packing for the move. Ideally, each box should be clearly marked with the room in which it is located. If not, this should be labeled with some explanation of its content. Rid yourself of having to sort things out twice and bring each box to the right room right out of the car. Thus, your unpacking can begin in an orderly manner.Clean before you start to unpack after a move
In the language of real estate, properties must be “broom clean” before a new buyer or tenant enters. In essence, this phrase means the absence of any visible dirt. However, as is known to anyone who has recently made a move, in the midst of all this, there is rarely time to make sure that your whole house has received deep purity.
Unpack rooms by the importance
When it is finally unpacking time, you will want to do it in an orderly manner. We recommend unpacking room by room by the importance. This means that you need to unpack the entire room at a time, and not just take the essentials and leave the rest for later. Yes, this is a more difficult task at the initial stage. But you have fewer chances for the boxes with essential items to lie around after you have settled. As for the order in which you unpack after a move, you should first start from your bedrooms. After moving to Dallas, you will probably be exhausted and will want to go to bed rather early. So your bed will be waiting for you. Then you need to go to the kitchen and then your main living space.Start with the necessities
The next one is to unpack the box with the essentials (or boxes). That should be one of the first boxes from the truck or boxes that came with you in the car. These are the basic items you need to maintain your home in the short term. If you have not identified one or two boxes for essentials, quickly find the boxes that have everything you need to get by at least a couple of nights. These necessities usually include basic toiletries, medicines, books, and documents containing key addresses and telephone numbers, as well as some basic cooking products.Do the kitchen first
Next is to unpack the kitchen items and put them away. If you have correctly marked the boxes, you can easily find what you need. If you have time, it is better first to level the kitchen cabinets and cupboards. But if you do not have time to complete the kitchen, unpack only what you need, including pots and pans. Before you start unpacking, make sure to secure your new home. Connect the main appliances and connect any small appliances that will make your life a little easier, such as a coffee pot and a toaster. You can return to fully organize the kitchen after unpacking the rest of the house.Make bedrooms next
After the kitchen, fold the beds and unpack the bedding for each bedroom. Ideally, you could allocate one set of linen for each bed when you pack up. If so, preparing your beds for the first night should be pretty straightforward. Determine the order of the furniture arrangement and organization of the wardrobe, before unpacking the packed items, if possible. Initially, installing shelving and cleaning cabinets will make unpacking more productive and will save your future work.Move to bathrooms
Plumbing is basically already working when you enter, provided that water is turned on. But you will need to quickly unpack towels, toiletries and other items for the bathroom. Nothing makes a home more like a home than a comfortable, fully equipped bathroom. Again, start by unpacking the most important items — medicine, body care products, shower curtains, and towels. But complete unpacking of the bathroom should be among the first.
