House hunting is considered as one of the most stressful things to do, especially for newlyweds. You might feel anxious, and might over think the things which you want to be best for you and your family. So how do you stay organized while house hunting? Here are some useful tips:
- Planning
Grab a paper and a pen. What are the types of furniture that you want for each room? How big would you want your room to be? These are just some of the questions that will help you in this stage. One important thing is to visualize how you want your home to turn out. It is important to consider the needs of your family members in planning, including your pets.
- Set your priorities
Setting priorities is similar to the planning stage. Here, the list that you made will be narrowed down; filtering your wants from your needs. Do you really need this furniture? Is your storage area big enough? According to Scott Loney and Alicia Worley of the Daily Republic, narrowing your list of wants to top three must-haves is best. Your list will also keep you on track with your budget and envisioned look of your home.
- Numbers and measurements
In this stage, your paper and pen stillcomes in handy. Your visualization becomes more and more concrete. It doesn’t have to be accurate. But, an estimated measurement will help you determine the space that you have left.
4. Multi-purpose furniture is your new stress reliever
Multi-purpose furniture save you space and they add bold character to your room. They standout and usually wow your guests. There are a lot available in the local market, including convertible beds and tables. On top of all that, these types of furniture save you the hassle of measuring and planning out on multiple things to put on your room. Indeed, they are all-in-one!
- Take pictures and compare
Taking pictures will help you in making decisions. Envisioning might be hard especially in visiting a lot of houses. So might as well take a picture so you can scan those when making the decision with your family.
In the end, all of your efforts in house hunting will be reflected in a home filled with joy and love. May you find the house that suits you!
