Start with a room plan

Before any piece moves, mark on a sheet of paper where the beds, wardrobes, living room and kitchen go in each room. If you wrote the room names on the boxes while packing, unloading itself becomes arranging. See preparing the new apartment before the furniture arrives.

Arrange by priority: sleeping and the kitchen first

Start with what you need the first night: beds, mattresses and lighting, then the kitchen, fridge and gas. After that the living room and the children’s room, and leave decor, hanging and details for the end.

Beds and wardrobes

Assemble the beds and large wardrobes before bringing in the other pieces, so boxes do not block the work area. Dismantled pieces need time and tools, and their details are in dismantling and assembling bedrooms and kitchens.

The kitchen and appliances

Do not open the kitchen boxes until the units and appliances are installed and you have checked the electricity, water and gas. Moving the whole kitchen explains its steps and warnings.

Boxes: room by room

Open only the boxes of a room whose furniture has been arranged, and start with the boxes of daily necessities. Unpacking all the boxes at once in an unarranged room fills the home with chaos.

If your home has a kitchen, large wardrobes or complicated beds, or you want to walk into a completely ready home, the home furnishing service takes care of arranging, assembling and unwrapping according to the room plan you set. The price is set after the inspection.

Common mistakes

Opening all the boxes before arranging the furniture.
Installing wardrobes after the boxes have taken up the wall space.
