Start by unpacking your essentials bag after the move

Of course, when you start unpacking after the move, certain things will be a bigger priority than others. So start out by deciding which things you need the most and if there are any boxes that can remain unpacked. Namely, the boxes meant for storage NYC don’t have to be unpacked, so at least that’s a relief. All the other boxes will need your attention.

Start by unpacking things like toiletries and toothbrushes from your essentials bag.

When you’re thinking about which box to unpack first, we suggest opting for your essentials box. This is the box containing all the things you need for your first night in the new place. People usually pack things like electronics, toiletries, your keys and wallet, a change of clothes, toilet paper, bedding etc. Other than that, it’s smart to keep things like important documents here to make sure they don’t get misplaced. When you’re packing the essentials bag, just think of all the things you absolutely need to function normally before unpacking everything else. That’s exactly why this box is the one you should unpack first after you arrive at your new home.

Assemble furniture and set up appliances

One of the biggest parts of unpacking after the move has to be setting up your large furniture pieces and appliances. Usually, these things are the most important for a functional home. So, it’s best to reassemble furniture soon after moving. Making sure you can use things like your bed, couch and dining table will enable you to spend your first days in your new home comfortably. Also, it’s good to come up with a plan of each room before arranging furniture.

Other than assembling and arranging your furniture, you should also set up your appliances. Make sure your fridge, oven, TV and other appliances you need are up and running. Remember that you should follow the instructions when setting these things up to avoid any mistakes.

Unpack room by room after the move

Just like packing, unpacking after relocation will be much easier if you come up with a good system. So, if you want to be organized and on top of your unpacking game, we have a suggestion. Namely, unpacking one room at a time is a smart move. This way you avoid getting overwhelmed by all the things and your home will come together slowly but surely.

To stay focused and not too stressed out, we suggest unpacking one room at a time.
  1. Bathroom: You’ll probably want to take a relaxing shower after the move. So, clean the bathroom and make sure it’s usable. Then unpack the toiletries, towels, and everything else you need in order to make your bathroom functional. This is one of the first rooms you should be unpacking after the move.
  2. Kitchen: Maybe you don’t need to unpack all the glassware now, but make sure you have utensils, plates, glasses and the dishes you need for your first few meals in the new home. Also, set up the most important appliances.
  3. Bedroom: For a comfortable and relaxing first few days after moving, you need to set up your bedroom. Unpack your pillows, duvets and make sure you have a comfortable place to sleep.
  4. Living room: Unpacking your couch and coffee table might make you feel more at home. You can focus on smaller pieces and decorations in a little while, you don’t have to do it on your first day.

Since unpacking after the move can be pretty exhausting and dragged out, it’s best if you have someone helping you. If you’ve moved with your family, everyone can focus on unpacking their own room. That way you’ll be done in no time! However, if you’re living alone, you can simply ask friends and family for help. You don’t need to do it all alone! After all, it’s true what they say – teamwork does make the dream work.
