Even when the reason behind a house relocation is a positive one, such as moving together with your partner or getting the house of your dream, there is no denying that such an experience is filled with all kinds of emotions. That is why this big transition can be quite stressful and nerve-wracking at times. But there are some types of home moves that can be particularly unpleasant. Granted, this is not a universal rule and some people do not really have a problem when they find themselves in these situations but for the majority of mankind’s representatives these following relocations scenarios are a true nightmare:

• Moving back to your parent’s home as an adult
• Moving into the house of your in-laws
• Moving out after a tough break-up or a divorce
• Moving your business to a smaller offic...

As a rule, moving out of a 2-bedroom home will require you to use about 30 mid-sized boxes, 20 large and 10 extra-large ones. The thing is that a great number of families prefer to use only large and extra-large cardboard boxes thinking that this will save them time when packing and unpacking. That, however, is a mistake because these options are not a universal solution. They are mainly suitable for items that are:

• Big in size but light in weight
• Small in size but with a light to medium weight
• Soft (preferably)
• Non-fragile (preferably)

If you do not stick to these basic rules, you will either have a problem handling the boxes or you will end up breaking some of your precious possessions.

How large are large moving boxes?

Typically, a large cardboard box measure 18” x 18” x 24” and...

Furniture pads, van ramps, belts, dollies and trolleys… there are so many types of moving equipment out there these days. But there is one simple tool that is particularly useful during a house, office or any other type of move – moving straps. Even trained removal experts swear by them which is why, if a relocation is in the picture for you, you need to arm yourself with this ingenious creation. But before putting the straps on, you need to learn why and how to use this useful tool.

The modern service of moving furniture and other household belongings has seen numerous innovations, but none have made such an impact as the introduction of furniture lifting straps. These tools not only make the process smoother but also prevent most potential damages to the items being moved...

It is hard to tell how much time it will take you to fully adjust to your new home. The speed with which one gets used to a new environment depends on many different things. For example, if you have moved within your old area of residence you are likely to adapt to the situation faster than if you were to relocate to a different city or country. It also depends on the type of person you are. For some people, 1-2 days are more than enough to adjust to the house or flat to which they have just moved. Others can spend one or even two years before they start to feel comfortable in their home.

Since it can be hard to predict how long it will take you to get used to this major life change, it won’t hurt if you play it safe...

Moving homes is a great occasion to start anew. If you want to part with the majority of your furniture and appliances before you settle down at your new address, but you still feel like not simply throwing it away, there are a few things that you can do in order to give it new life and purpose.

Give to a friend or family member

Regardless of being old, some of your furniture may still be in a usable condition. Ask around your social circle if someone needs a sofa or a dining room table you do not plan on utilising anymore. By giving it away, you will be doing some good, which is a sufficient reason in itself. You can decide if you would accept money for the deed, or you will be doing it just due to a charitable mood. If you do not want money, but the person taking the items insists, you m...

• Do not rely on your own experience
