5 Tips for Refreshing Your Interior After a Move

Posted by Val Malnar on November 18, 2024

Moving is the perfect opportunity to embrace a fresh perspective—not just for your life, but for your living space too. Whether you’re working with a generous budget or keeping things thrifty, these 5 tips will help you settle in style and make your new house feel like home.

1. START FRESH
Let go of old, tired furniture that no longer serves you. Donating, selling or consigning items before your move not only lightens the load but frees up space (and funds!) to curate a look that reflects your new beginning. Focus on timeless pieces that bring you joy.

2. PLAN WITH PURPOSE
Consider hiring a moving company to help you with your move – especially if it’s cross country. You can get moving quotes for cross country moves here. The more organized your move, the easier it will be to focus on creating a home you love. Thoughtful planning saves time, reduces stress, and ensures your vision stays on track.

3. REIMAGINE WHAT YOU HAVE
Once you get into your new home, if buying new furniture isn’t in the cards, give existing pieces a second life. A fresh coat of paint, staining or repurposing or rearranging furnishings and décor in a new space can make a surprising difference. Adding updated accent pillows and decor is an easy, cost-effective way to refresh a space.

4. TAKE IT ONE ROOM AT A TIME
Decorating an entire home can feel daunting. Start with key spaces like the living room or bedroom and let your vision unfold gradually. 3D room planner tools or services can help you picture how everything comes together.

5. EMBRACE SMART SOLUTIONS
Consider incorporating smart home technology to simplify life in your new home. From beautiful smart lighting to smart temperature control, these upgrades not only enhance convenience but also bring a sleek, modern touch to your interior.

With a little creativity and preparation, your new home can be the fresh start you’ve been dreaming of and can spend the rest of your life enjoying. :)
