Practical Advice for anyone Moving From a Flat to a House
It can be a very exciting time when you are moving from a flat to a house although you may be apprehensive about how you are going to fill the space in your new home. The key to moving into a bigger space is to take your time to plan and organize each room.
When moving into a larger space it is always best to tackle one room at a time. Based on the furniture that you already have in your flat, you will likely be able to fill a bedroom, a living area, a bathroom, and a kitchen with your belongings. If you have purchased a home with multiple bedrooms, a study, and a nursery, then you may have a few empty rooms on your hands.
There are two options available in filling and decorating your new home:
- Purchase new furniture little by little. Filling your house slowly with quality furniture will give you time to arrange your space to your liking and invest in furniture that will last for years to come.
- Save money and purchase discounted furniture at a consignment shop to fill each room.

Moving to a larger home, you will be able to save money on moving expenses by renting a small moving truck for your belongings. However, you may need to consider a furniture removal service to transport any new furniture that you buy to your new home.

One of the most over looked issues is how to get furniture in to a new house or apartment. In some extreme cases you may have to remove a ground or up stairs window in order to fit bigger items of furniture like sofas or even wardrobes, that are to big for external door frames this can be a real pain so be sure to check in advance and inform your house removal company as they may be able to assist you with hiring the right professional for the job.
Window removal
The width of your stairs is not always critical, but becomes very important when there are one or more turns with straight runs. Limited head room can also be a problem although narrow hallways are often more of an obstruction when moving furniture then low head room, narrow steps and cramped turns. Traditional stair ways have one banister and wall on the other side the banister may need to be removed if required.

How to dismantling your wardrobe for your move.
Dismantling your wardrobe for your move isn’t as simple as you may think. This will depend on what kind of wardrobe you are moving.
If you have a small single wardrobe this might be able to be moved with out you having to dismantle it at all, however it is always best to tape all the doors along with the draws to ensure that they don’t swings open when you are moving the wardrobe, which could lead to the doors breaking from their hinges or become damaged.
If you do have a wardrobe that will require dismantling be sure to take your time and remember where each piece fits so that when you come to reassemble the wardrobe you will save your self the stress of not knowing where each piece of the wardrobe fits.
It is also important to remove all nuts bolts washer’s etc from your wardrobe as they will fall out when being moved which will be a problem for you when you want to reassemble the wardrobe.
If you have a wardrobe with glass or mirrored doors please wrap using bubble wrap, you can also use old card board to provide extra protection if required.
Once wardrobes are dismantled wrap all loose pieces together using shrink wrap, following our guide will ensure your wardrobe is transported in the safest and most professional way.
