🏡 Welcome Home! Your First-Week Guide to Settling In.

Moving can be exciting, overwhelming, and exhausting all at once. Here are some first-week tips and tricks to help you relax, settle in, and truly enjoy your new space.



1. First Things First: Essentials Box

Unpack your “essentials box” right away—this should include:

  • Toiletries, medications, and a change of clothes

  • Chargers, extension cords, and basic tools (screwdriver, scissors, tape)

  • Coffee/tea, snacks, and a few easy meals

  • Bedding and towels

👉 This box saves you from rummaging through piles of moving boxes when you’re tired.

2. Make It Feel Like Home

  • Unpack your bedroom and bathroom first. Sleeping comfortably and having a working bathroom instantly reduces stress.

  • Light a candle, diffuse essential oils, or play music. Familiar scents and sounds create comfort.

  • Put up a few family photos or favorite décor pieces. Even just one framed picture can make your house feel like home.

3. Safety & Comfort Checks

4. Explore & Personalize

  • Take a walk around your neighborhood and introduce yourself to a neighbor.

  • Order a local takeout meal—skip cooking on your first night!

  • Start a simple “home to-do list.” (Paint touch-ups, curtain rods, yard ideas.)

5. First-Week Relax & Enjoy Ideas

  • Have a cozy first-night picnic in your living room with pizza or takeout.

  • Watch a movie with blankets on the floor before your furniture is fully arranged.

  • Treat yourself to fresh flowers for the kitchen counter.

  • If you have kids or pets, create one “fun corner” (toys, treats, cozy spot) so they adjust quickly too.

✨ Pro Tip: Don’t try to unpack everything in the first week. Focus on creating comfortable living spaces, and the rest will follow.
