When your life is in boxes, it’s hard to know exactly where to begin, which is why moving into a new apartment can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, unpacking doesn’t have to be the nightmare scenario it may seem to be. You’ll be settled in your new home in no time with this advice.

Start with a Good Clean

When you move into a new apartment, the leasing company will have it cleaned for you before you arrive. However, take advantage of this time when the whole place is empty to do some cleaning for yourself. You may just need to spend a little time on some finishing touches, or you may want to devote time to a deeper clean. Either way, the place will start feeling more like home as soon as you spiff everything up to your liking.

Unpack the Bedroom and Bathroom First

Two rooms you will definitely have to use on your first day in your new place will be your bedroom and bathroom . Start by setting up your bedroom furniture and making up your bed, and then move on to putting up your shower curtain and hanging some towels. With these two spaces set up, your apartment will feel functional and familiar. You’ll appreciate knowing you have a comfortable place to lay your head after a long day of unpacking.

Open All of the Boxes

Once your bedroom and bathroom are set up, open up all of your remaining boxes so it is easier to organize as you go. You don’t want to get your kitchen cabinets organized just right and then find a box of glasses to unpack. Unpack the kitchen necessities first, and then tackle each box one by one. It helps to set aside a box to fill with stuff you aren’t sure where to put, so you can decide at the end if you want to keep those items or donate them.
