Two tips to remember if you have to move into a house with no furniture at short notice
Moving into an unfurnished house at short notice, when you don't have any furniture that you can bring with you, can be difficult. If you ever end up in this situation, you might find these two pieces of advice to be helpful.
Find a company that offers same-day bedroom furniture delivery services
In these circumstances, your top priority should be setting up your bedroom. Whilst you can make do without things like a coffee table in the living room or a dining table in the kitchen (provided the kitchen has countertops that you can use to prepare and eat food on), you might struggle to get settled in this new home if you don't have somewhere to store your clothes and a proper bed to sleep on.
If you order your bedroom furniture from a business that takes weeks to deliver its goods to its customers, you may have to spend this period of time sleeping on the floor or on a temporary blow-up air mattress, neither of which will enable you to sleep peacefully. Not being able to get a restful night's sleep for this amount of time could have a serious impact on your wellbeing and may lead to a decline in your concentration levels as well as your overall health.
Furthermore, without a wardrobe or a chest of drawers to store your clothes in, you may end up having to keep your garments in plastic bags or in piles on the floor, which could not only make it hard to find specific clothing items when you need them but may also increase the chances of some of your favourite garments getting damaged. As such, the first thing you should do after moving into an unfurnished house is to find a company that offers a same-day delivery service for the bedroom furniture it sells, and order a bed, a mattress and a wardrobe or chest of drawers from them.
Locate and make use of the house's existing storage spaces before ordering any storage furniture
Before you place any orders for things like free-standing bookcases or cabinets, shoe storage racks and other types of storage furniture, you should clean up and utilise the house's existing storage spaces. This might include the storage shelves under the staircase, the loft space, the kitchen cupboards and any shelves that have been built into the house's alcoves.
Doing this before you start ordering furniture for the house will achieve two things; it will help you to avoid wasting your house-furnishing fund on storage items that are superfluous to requirements (and thus ensure that you can afford to spend a little extra on high-quality, useful pieces of furniture that you genuinely need) and it will ensure that the house doesn't become cluttered with, for example, bookcases and console tables that are only half filled with items and which only serve to take up space that could be put to better use.
