Today, we will discuss two more strategies to consider.

Research Your New Location

Before your move, take time to research your new location. Learn about the best restaurants, shopping, entertainment, recreation, cultural events, etc. in your new city or town. This can help generate excitement about your anticipated move. Perhaps consider taking a pre-move trip to your new location to help you feel more comfortable and confident about your decision to move.

Purge Unnecessary Items

The cost of moving services is often based on the weight of your belongings or the amount of space they take up in the moving truck. So, it’s extremely important to purge unnecessary items before your move. Start by going through your belongings and sorting them into piles to keep, donate, or sell. Consider selling items on online marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist to save money and make some extra cash.

We are continuing our series of articles on minimalism. Our long distance and local movers are seeing people of all ages choosing to embrace the minimalist lifestyle, which involves downsizing your possessions, simplifying your life, and prioritizing what really matters to you. While it may sound daunting, the perks of minimalistic living can help clear your headspace, promote better focus, and give you more time for experiences that truly matter. With careful planning, you can create a beautiful minimalist space that reflects your personality and enhances the quality of your life.

Select Functional and Stylish Furniture

Once you have decluttered and moved into your new home, you can begin to selectively add furniture and decor to your new minimalist space. Furnishing your new minimalist home can be a creative process, allowing you to incorporate your personal preferences while maintaining functionality. When selecting furniture, ensure that the pieces are functional, practical, and comfortable while also being stylish. Look for furniture that can serve multiple purposes such as a sofa bed, nested tables, or multifunctional shelves.

Incorporate a Cohesive and Calming Color Scheme

A minimalist home is characterized by simplicity, which is why it is essential to incorporate a cohesive and calming color scheme. Neutral and earthy tones such as white, beige, and light grey are common color schemes for minimalist homes. You can add a pop of color through accent decor, artwork or even greenery.

Decluttering your home can be a daunting task, especially if you are accustomed to having a lot of stuff. However, with a plan and the right mindset, it can be a process that is not only manageable but also therapeutic. Our long distance and local movers and packers understand both the challenges of getting rid of belongings, and moving an inordinate amount of stuff you may not use or need anymore. Let’s take a look at some tips to help you declutter in preparation for downsizing.

Invite Family and Friends to Help

Inviting your family and friends to help can make the task of decluttering much less overwhelming. Additionally, you may choose to give your family and friends first right or refusal of the items you plan to donate or sell.

Identify Items to Keep, Donate, or Sell

Decluttering starts with identifying what you need and what you don’t. It’s essential to sort through your possessions and identify which items will stay, which items you can donate or sell, and which ones you need to throw away. Separating out into categories (i.e., clothing, books, kitchen items, décor, etc.) is an excellent way to begin the process.

Prepare Yourself to Let Go

One of the most challenging parts of decluttering is letting go of items. However, it is important to remind yourself that they are just things. It’s okay to hold on to a few sentimental items, but we should resist the temptation to hoard.

We are continuing our series of articles on embracing the minimalist lifestyle. As we discussed in a previous article, our long distance and local movers are seeing and uptick in people of all ages who are choosing the downsize.

The minimalist lifestyle embraces intentionally living with fewer possessions, living within your means, and focusing on the things that truly bring you joy. Reaping the benefits of minimalism begins with the downsizing process. Once you embrace minimalism, you will realize that you don’t need a lot of things in your home. This lends itself to a more organized space and less time spent cleaning and maintaining your home. Additionally, simplifying your lifestyle allows you to focus on what you are passionate about, pursue hobbies, and spend more quality time with loved ones.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of minimalism is as you get rid of belongings, you will find it easier to downsize your home. Selling your larger home for a profit and purchasing a smaller home that accommodates your new minimalist lifestyle could result in a lower mortgage payment or even mortgage-free living. A smaller space means there is also less to clean and maintain.

College Housing Tips

College Housing Tips

in , , , ,

Choosing college housing can be both exciting and overwhelming. However, taking the time to consider your preferences, budget, and other important factors can help ensure that you make a smart decision that will benefit you throughout your college experience.

Remember to weigh pros and cons, evaluate all housing options, set a budget, and pursue financial aid options, and always think about location, safety, and other essential amenities that will make your new home away from home feel like the right fit. Let’s take a look at two important steps to take in the process of choosing college housing.

Budgeting

Once you have decided on a housing option, it is crucial to examine the costs and create a financial plan. Make sure to factor in the rent or mortgage, utilities, Wi-Fi, groceries, and other essential expenses before signing a lease or agreement. You also may wish to factor in the cost for a full service moving and storage company to help you with your move-in, move-out, and storage if needed. Accounting for these expenses up front can help you create a realistic budget and properly manage your finances throughout the school year.

Exploring Financial Aid Options

Many colleges offer a range of financial aid options specifically for housing including scholarships, grants, and loans. Make sure to research these options and apply for them early. These options can help you alleviate some of the financial burden of college housing.

Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

in , , , , ,

There are many choices when it comes to college housing. While it is best to take time to visit the college and personally tour the options available, sometimes doing so is not possible, especially if you’re attending college far away from home. Regardless of what type of housing you decide on, it can be helpful to engage a full service moving company to handle the move-in and move-out processes. Let’s take a look at different housing options to consider and some of the advantages/disadvantages of each.

On-Campus Housing

Dormitories and residence halls are a popular choice, especially for first-year college students. They offer several benefits, such as affordable living costs, opportunities to meet new people, and easy access to campus amenities. However, they do have their downsides, such as strict rules and regulations, limited space, and some privacy concerns. Make sure to carefully consider all of the pros and cons of dorm living before making a decision.

Off-Campus Housing

Another popular option for college housing is off-campus apartments, homes, or shared spaces. Off-campus housing allows you to have more independence, privacy, and freedom over your living situation. It also allows you to explore different neighborhoods and choose a living situation that caters to your unique needs. You can live alone, with roommates, or find a housing situation that mirrors your personality and preferences. However, off-campus housing comes with a few downsides, such as higher rent, further commutes, and fewer on-campus amenities.

Our next article will offer some college housing tips as you embark on this new adventure.

Safety and Security

Another vital factor when choosing college housing is ensuring that the location is safe and secure. Consider factors such as crime rates in the surrounding area, nearby emergency services, and campus security measures. You could also check for factors such as well-lit and well-maintained neighborhoods, secure buildings, and presence of security systems.

Our previous articles discussed the importance of helping your parents declutter and downsize and preparing their belongings to be packed, which should all happen before their local moving company arrives on the day of the move.

We also discussed gathering all essential documents in one place and developing a timeline for the move, including which day you want your full service moving company to arrive. We then touched on the importance of being there to help your parents unpack after the moving company delivers their belongings and also creating a calming environment inside of the home.

Today, we will look at more ways to help your parents acclimate to their new home.

Establish a Routine

Another way to help your parents adjust to their new home is by establishing a daily routine.

Having a set routine will help them feel more comfortable in their new surroundings.

Help Set Up Necessary Technology
