Downsizing your home is sometimes necessary, whether because of financial reasons, moving to a new area, travelling overseas long-term, or just to start fresh. If you’re downsizing your home before a move, here are a few steps you should follow to make sure your downsize goes as smoothly as possible. If you’re in need of more expert advice get in touch with your local Mount Isa removalists at Dawson Moving and Storage NQ today.
Start as Soon as Possible
Giving yourself weeks or months to prepare before a downsize helps to limit stress and increase your chance of an effective, hassle-free move. Start as soon as you can and make a plan, room by room.
Find a Decluttering Strategy
Decluttering comes naturally to some, while for others it can be hard to let go. Find a strategy that works for you when you start to declutter your space. You could start by purging your wardrobe of clothes you haven’t worn in a year. Alternatively, go through each room with four boxes labelled ‘bin’, ‘donate’, ‘keep’ and ‘store’. There’s a strategy out there that will work for you!
Take Inventory
Make an inventory of what you have. Maybe room by room, take stock of your belongings and figure out what you really need in your new house. There may be sentimental items you don’t want to store or donate, and that’s okay. Just make sure you know where everything is going to live when you unpack it.
