To avoid the stress of moving house, planning and skill are important. Before getting overwhelmed, change your mind and take a positive attitude to face this new stage. It is recommended to count on the support of family, friends or professional movers and take the opportunity to get rid of those things that are no longer used and take up space.
One of the things that everyone will surely have to do in their lifetime is to move house. And, in most cases, it is a cause of great stress. In fact, psychologists say that moving house is one of the three most anxiety-generating situations due to the physical exhaustion and emotional fatigue involved.
But we must turn the situation around and look on the bright side. It is time to start a new stage and change always brings fresh air. We must face the moment with joy and think about the good times and projects to come, about the new decoration or the new neighbours, for example.
In order for a move not to be a real headache, it is important to get organised and try to have everything under control. And here we are referring to all the objects to be moved, the furniture to be moved, even the place where they will be located in the new home.
On the market you can already find all kinds of boxes, tools or materials that will make the move easier and more comfortable. With skill, a whole life can be stored in a couple of days or three. And even more so if you have the support and help of family and friends or professionals.
However, a very important piece of advice: you should mark and distribute the objects and boxes so that you have the most necessary things to hand once you arrive at your new home. This way you won't have to open a thousand and one boxes.
Some of the steps recommended by the Spanish Removals Federation are to pack things in advance and always start with things that, a priori, are not going to be used, such as old records or clothes from another season.
They also advise packing together the things that have several pieces, such as kitchen appliances or computer; and use the suitcases to store many more things than you think. Finally, always carry important documents with you so that you never lose sight of them.
Storage rooms, that extra space
Moving house is also the perfect time to clean out: it is the ideal excuse to go through all the personal objects, papers and mementos that have accumulated over the years and start to get rid of some of them. And if it is difficult to get rid of these belongings, you can always hire an individual storage room that offers that extra space.
Once you have decided what to take with you to your new home, it is important to decide whether you are going to do the removal yourself or hire a professional removal company.
Depending on the timing, that is, if you are going to leave one house and move into another immediately or not, you can choose to store the furniture in storage rooms. In these spaces you can pile up a large amount of things and they are an increasingly popular solution that many removal companies offer their clients.
