Settle in after the move
Settling in after the move is the next important task once moving boxes and clothing crates are unpacked, furniture is set up, and belongings are placed in the appropriate rooms. You probably look back on exhausting weeks in which you were primarily occupied with the upcoming move: from picking out the new apartment, to folding the moving boxes and hiring movers, to the subsequent transport of your belongings. Now it’s time to relax, put your feet up and enjoy the fruits of your labour. But what is the best way to settle into your new home after the removal? We’ll tell you!
Settle in after the move: How to quickly feel at home
Settling in can be a challenge after the move, when all the work is finally done and you suddenly find yourself in a place that is still unfamiliar. Our tips will therefore help you to feel at home quickly after the change of apartment. Basically, it can take some time until everything is really in its intended place. Therefore, you should first choose a room or a part of a room in which you first ensure order and with attention to detail for coziness instead of moving chaos. The bedroom is a good place for this, where you can leave all the hustle and bustle of your move behind and recharge your batteries.
Even in the other rooms of your new home, even small things can create a feeling of comfort. Create a pleasant ambience with curtains, plants and lamps and lampshades, in which you can feel comfortable in the long term. In this context, murals, photos with your loved ones and other mementos with personal value are also a guarantee for a familiar home feeling in a new apartment and for a quick settling in after the move. Scented candles have a similar effect. Perhaps there is a particular candle that you always liked to light in your old home and whose scent you associate with home. It will also give off this scent in a new residence, making you feel at home.
Apart from these individual small elements that feel like home to you, also take the opportunity to redecorate instead of placing everything as you already know it from your old apartment. Try your hand at it, test out different decorating styles to find the perfect one for this stage of your life. After all, you have moved on and may now find you like different colours, patterns, fabrics, and cuts. In this way, you’ll impart your own unique and individual charm to your new home.
Once you have made yourself at home in your flat, you can familiarise yourself with your surroundings and introduce yourself to your neighbours, because familiar faces quickly convey a familiar feeling. Take a short round of introductions through the stairwell, bring something home-baked or invite them to a house-warming party. This is an opportunity to maintain old friendships and make new ones by familiarising your acquaintances with each other.
