When moving into a new home, there\u2019s a lot to sort out and manage before you can begin living comfortably. It\u2019s an exciting time but also very stressful, and it\u2019s hard to know exactly what you need. In this article, we\u2019ll look at some of the most crucial things that no home can do without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Toolkit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you may be moving into a brand new home, it\u2019s inevitable that you\u2019ll need to fix things at some point. Even if nothing goes wrong and there\u2019s nothing to fix, putting up furniture often requires tools. As a result, it\u2019s good to have a toolkit from the very beginning of your move. You don\u2019t need to have every available tool there is, but every home can benefit from a small set of tools with all the basics covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When purchasing tools and wood screws, you can use sites like RS<\/a> to find the best quality available at great prices. Check you have everything you need, including a hammer, a screwdriver set, a wrench, measuring tape and a set of pliers and cutters. Keep your toolkit where it\u2019s easy to access, but make sure it\u2019s out of reach of young people if you have kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning Supplies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you start setting up furniture, it\u2019s a good idea to have a quick blitz of your home and clean everywhere thoroughly. Keeping dust and dirt out is a constant battle, but you can start off on the front foot by doing this early. Make sure you have all the cleaning supplies<\/a> you need and that they\u2019re kept safe and out of the reach of any children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Home Management File<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one might not be on everyone\u2019s list, but it\u2019s certainly something that will make your life easier. Our homes require a lot of management, and this includes maintenance of all their appliances and systems. It\u2019s easy to lose track of all this information, especially if you keep it separate or just try to memorise it all. Instead, you should set up a home management file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is basically a file of everything you need to know about living in your home. This can include instructions for all your appliances, as well as information on refuse collection schedules, an address book, tradesmen contact information, a list of chores and budget information. Keeping it all in one place makes it easier to access and hopefully will help you run your home more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art and Decoration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When moving home, it\u2019s easier to remember a lot of the more practical things that will help ensure your home is functioning smoothly. However, a lot of people forget the human touch that turns your house into a home. You need art and decorations to add character<\/a> to your house and to ensure that you feel comfortable and happy while living there. It may not be a priority for some, but it definitely shouldn\u2019t be overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you keep an eye out for pieces that catch your eye when browsing catalogues and looking at furniture. You can also purchase art from artists directly that you follow on social media. One of the best ways to find art on a budget is to scout charity shops. There are always paintings and decorations to discover, and it\u2019s a fun way to spend a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Spare Set of Keys<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the first things you should do when moving into a new home is get a spare set of keys cut if you don\u2019t already have one. Most houses come with two sets as standard, but if there are multiple people in your family, you should ensure everyone has one. Not only that, but it\u2019s good to have a set cut that you can leave with a trusted family member or neighbour. That way, you can still get inside even if you\u2019ve lost your keys and been locked out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
