Did you recently move? Whether it was across town or across the country, the first few weeks and months of living in a new area can be tricky. But you can adjust and enjoy your new surroundings! Follow these new home tips to instantly feel at ease and make settling in a breeze.
New Home Tip #1:
Between moving your furniture, starting a new job, and navigating a new city or community, you’re likely to feel overwhelmed. Set aside 30 minutes each day to organize your belongings and even decorate a little. If you feel comfortable in your new home, you’ll feel much better:
-Organize your kitchen—Your kitchen is one of the few places where celebrations and social gatherings occur. Invest in a spice rack, a place to hang pots and pans, and even a few plants. Having an organized kitchen where you love to cook and entertain will instantly make you feel at home.
-Design your bedroom—Nothing says home more than fresh linens and drapes! A bedroom where you can decompress after a long day will make your home more inviting and comfortable. You’ll look forward to coming home after a long day at work.
-Decorate your living room—Roll out carpets, frame some photos, and arrange your sofas and loveseats accordingly. Having a fun living room where you can watch movies and host guests will help you turn acquaintances into closer friends and enjoy your new space!
New Home Tip #2: Get Involved in Your Community
One of the best ways to adjust to a new home is actually outside your home! Besides feeling comfortable in your new space, it’s important to get involved in your community and feel like you truly belong. Whether it’s a canned food drive at a local shelter or a county fair, meeting your neighbors and other community members is a great way to make your new house feel like a home!
New Home Tip #3: Embark on a DIY Project
Does your new home need a fresh coat of paint? Would you like to install a built-in bookshelf on that wall in your living room? Instead of spending money on a contractor, try doing it yourself! There are plenty of books, videos, and other tutorials where you can learn more about the project you want to complete. Completing a DIY project in your new home will also help you adjust and develop a more personal relationship with your new space. So, whether it’s remodeling a decrepit bathroom or installing new window treatments, jazz up your new residence to give it an intimate touch!
