In the life of every man there comes a time when you need to change the place of residence. This period is accompanied by spending on new things for the house and thinking about the priority items for life. This tutorial is for those who are going to move or moves in a new house or apartment.
We asked an experienced interior designer Mary Borovsky, what to take first and how to avoid a situation when you were surrounded by five decorative pillows and lovely stool, but in the absence of truly necessary things.
Bedroom
To cart
- Basic bed linen. Two sets of high-quality cotton or linen would suffice. Choose neutral shades: they will be perfectly combined not only among themselves but also with any bedspread or blanket. Linen sheets are much more expensive, but this spending will be reasonable — the service life of textiles enviable, and over the years, the material gets better.
Blanket from wool or cashmere will adorn the bed, and if desired, it can be used in the living room. - I think it is not necessary again to talk about the infinite benefits of buying quality pillows, mattress and mattress cover, which will provide you with healthy and sound sleep.
To leave on the shelf
- Do not rush to purchase different decorative pillows. Their beauty will quickly fade, when every day you will need to remove them from the bed before sleep and put it back in the morning. Fashionable prints and combinations may seem attractive today, but become outdated in next year.
Bathroom
To cart
- A moderate amount of textiles. Towels take up much space in the closet, so it is best limited to two kits for each family member (bath, hand, face) plus one or two guests.
To leave on the shelf
- No matter how you cherished the dream of soft white towels, it is better to give preference to the more undemanding colors. White quickly gets dirty grayish tint, if you do not use bleach, which in turn makes the textile firm. A vicious circle.
Kitchen
To cart
- Think two steps ahead, choosing the dishes for the kitchen. Multi-functional and durable items for cooking — the best choice of the hostess. Cast iron pans, pots stainless steel, a decent set of knives, wooden cutting boards — these “warriors of the kitchen” no need to be sorry money.
- As for the other multifunctional assistants, the type of processor, here rely on how often you use one or the other device. If you’re in the old apartment, took out the food processor every six months, then hardly anything will change buying a new, albeit super-easy and indispensable, according to the Manager, harvester.
To leave on the shelf
- Stop buy numerous kitchen appliances that promise to facilitate the cooking of the particular product at times. Electric egg cooker, knives for shape cutting oil or cleaning avocado — these things can easily capture valuable space in storage, if you are addicted to such purchases. Any “specialized” device is a waste of money and space in the cupboards.
Dining room
To cart
- Here everything is simple. You can’t go wrong with classic Cutlery, stainless steel, white plates and glasses. Take your time and select the set that you really like to avoid situation when chosen dishes gathering dust on the shelf. Cotton or linen napkins and tablecloth will also be a smart choice.
To leave on the shelf
- Expensive porcelain dreams risks to show off on a shelf, in fact, spent on a set, we will wait for a special occasion and reason to celebrate who we are, perhaps, outside the home.
- Here leave the dishes with a festive pattern. Christmas kits or plates with a Mimosa to the eighth of March is so rarely used that the more time you’ll spend in the attic.
Storage
- Quality hooks and wicker baskets in the hallway will cope with a number of organizational tasks, and after you will understand all things after the move, before the eyes of the rest of the full picture of what you need — whether it’s a set of boxes or cans of different size for the kitchen. Follow the principle from General to particular, do not rush to purchase the small containers at the stage of moving.
Decor
The move promises large spending, and the decor is simply can not remain neither time, nor money. In this case, the role played by home decorating lamps, mirrors and plants. And from the things whose functions are confined to purely decorative, now should be abandoned.
With the new house!
