Tips for a Long-Distance Driving Trip

Not many enjoy the process of moving, especially when it comes to packing up all your belongings and then organizing your new home. It’s overwhelming and confusing that people don’t even know where to begin. Our recommendation? Take advantage of a packing service in El Paso to help with the tedious task! But if want to stick to doing it yourself, our professionals have created a guide to unpacking in your new home.

Start with an Inventory List

Prior to the whole packing process, you should have created an inventory list of all your belongings. You may even have categorized them by room, noting how many boxes were packed for each room to help you keep track. If you did not, that’s is alright. As long as you wrote the name of the room outside of the box, you shouldn’t have trouble figuring out where things should go. Our local El Paso movers will create an inventory list prior to the move which also includes a free, no-obligation moving quote so you will know how much the relocation will cost.

The Bedroom

After a long day of hauling boxes and furniture you will probably be exhausted, so your bedroom should be the first place you should start unpacking in your new home. You will most likely want to sleep in your bed as opposed to the floor. Have one of our professional movers assemble your bed while they are there so you won’t have to deal with it, especially if you have no idea how to assemble it yourself. Once the bed is assembled, unpack some essentials such as bedding, pillows, and a few items of clothing. Your bedroom is the most intimate, personal space in your home and it will take time to completely unpack, organize, and decorate the way you like, however, you deserve to sleep well from the very first night in your new place.

The Kitchen

The next room you should start unpacking in your new home is the kitchen. This is a space that will be used daily and is relatively easy to organize because you don’t need to build and arrange furniture in the kitchen, so you’ll finish unpacking faster. Start with the essentials such as cutlery, plates, and cups as well as the cooking utensils, pots, and pans you use the most. You can leave the non-important items last, It’s doubtful you’ll need that flower-shaped cake pan right away so you can save that for later.

The Bathroom

The only things you really need in the bathroom right away are toilet paper and hand soap. Otherwise, you can save the bathroom unpacking for later. Usually, the bathroom boxes include cleaning supplies, towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner, and so on. Anything you’d need in the bathroom, like a toothbrush or one bathing towel should have been packed in an essential or overnight bag before the move for this very reason. You don’t want to be hunting for these things through a bunch of boxes when you wake up in the morning.
