How to Have a Stress-Free Move Before and After Styling

When selling your home, whether you’re styling it yourself or using Sell in Style Property Styling, a stress-free move is key. Moving can be daunting, both emotionally and physically. Here are our top insider tips for staying calm before, during, and after your move.

Before The Move

Getting organised early is the best way to reduce stress, especially if you’re planning to stage your home.

Start Purging and Organising

Start clearing out as soon as you decide to sell. Purge anything unnecessary and sort items into keep, donate, and discard piles. Unsure whether to empty your home before selling? It depends on your situation, but less clutter is always better.

Make a Plan

Create a clear moving plan. Break your tasks down room by room and set a timeline. Dedicating time each weekend or weeknight makes the job manageable and helps you avoid last-minute panic.

During The Move

Whether you’re living in your home while it’s styled or moving out during staging, these tips will help.

Create Piles and Hide Clutter

Hide clutter before staging. Use cupboards to store belongings if you’re living in the home during the sale. This quick solution keeps your space clean and market-ready.

Keep Essentials On Hand

Always keep your essentials—clothing, toiletries, paperwork—easily accessible. This makes the transition between homes smoother.

Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help

Enlist friends or family to help with packing and moving. Sharing the load reduces stress and makes the experience more enjoyable.

After the Move

You’re almost done! These final steps will help you settle into your new home stress-free.

Clean

Before unpacking, give your new place a deep clean. Start from the top (ceiling fans, windows) and work your way down to the floors. Cleaning without furniture in the way is faster and more effective.

Unpack Promptly

Unpack as soon as possible. Having everything out of boxes helps you relax and feel at home in your new space.
