How To Make Your New House Feel Like A Home

Moving into a new house is a drastic change for any family, no matter the size. Let’s take a look at some easy ways to make your new house feel like home to expedite the process of settling in!

The bathroom is one of the most bare rooms in an empty house. Hang a shower curtain, organize all your essentials, and stock all the necessary soaps, shampoos, etc. Don’t forget the towels!

Your cable probably isn’t going to be available right away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be entertained. Pump up the volume on your favorite albums while you get unpacked, and if a dance party breaks out, so be it!

Let’s be honest, you’re never going to feel fully at home without having your wireless internet up and running. Like cable, this likely isn’t going to happen day one, but the sooner, the better.

This is a big one! You and your family aren’t going to feel totally at home when every meal is take-out. When you’ve got some time, head to the store, get the essentials, and get cooking…or snacking, at the very least!

Whether you use art, paint, decals, or some combination of the three, reducing the number of completely bare walls will do a world of good. Try a mix of new pieces and pieces from your previous house to help ease the transition to your new awesome home!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind if you're renting a home, you shouldn't do anything that can permanently change or damage the home if you'd like to receive your full deposit back. Avoid painting, using nails or screws, etc. For easy, rental-friendly home decor ideas, check out this blog post: https://www.revitalizerealty.com/easy-rental-friendly-home-decor-ideas
