Here are 10 tips to help you declutter and organise before moving in.

Declutter before you pack

Only pack what you truly want to take with you. Moving items you no longer need adds time, cost and stress.

Sort items by category

Group similar items together such as clothes, books or kitchenware. This helps you clearly see what you own.

Use four simple piles

Keep, donate, sell and recycle or dispose. This keeps decisions straightforward and prevents unnecessary clutter moving with you.

Be realistic about duplicates

Many homes have multiple versions of the same item. Choose the best one and let the rest go.

Think about your new home

Ask yourself if each item fits the life you want to create in your new space.

Label boxes clearly

Write both the room and a short description of the contents. It makes unpacking far easier.

Pack an essentials box

Include items you will need on your first night such as toiletries, chargers, medication, nightwear and basic kitchen items.

Plan storage in advance

If possible, measure cupboards and wardrobes so you know what will realistically fit.

Unpack the priority rooms first

Focus on the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom so the home becomes functional quickly.

Allow yourself time

You do not have to unpack everything immediately. Creating an organised home takes time.
