Pre-Move Floor Plan & Furniture Measurement For Senior Moving: Will Your Furniture Actually Fit?

Moving to your new house, whether it's a small apartment or a large building, the concerns regarding furniture handling and damage prevention remain at the top, specifically for seniors. Most seniors prefer taking all the furniture with them and later realize it's actually causing blockages, making their room look a little tighter. If you are someone planning a move to your own place and not even bothering about furniture and new space measurements before actually engaging yourself in any action, then you might be asking for real trouble. The following questions remain hanging over your head, leaving you all confused about the furniture that is actually required and placed accurately in the new place. 

“Will this furniture fit into the new place?”

“Is there any need for this furniture in the new home”?

“Should I pack all the furniture and decide which one I should keep after arriving”?

“Do I really want this furniture in my new space”?

If you have been going through the same questions, then you need a right and crystal-clear path regarding sorting out the furniture that is required in reality from the ones that would only take up a lot of space in your new house. In this blog post, you’ll be directed towards a guide to managing the floor plan and furniture measurements to analyse which furniture your new place actually needs. 

Start with your new space measurements.

• You need to be accurate when it comes to measuring your new space, as this is exactly where your old belongings will be kept safely.
• For example, if your new space has little space for a dining table, then instead of moving your large dining table, you can switch to a smaller one.
• You can begin by measuring the doorways, hallways and entry points of your new space in order to consider them while measuring the old furniture. 
• This can provide you with a good idea regarding the furniture and new space dimensions, therefore allowing you to place the particular furniture in the specific space accurately. 
• Every corner, closet and sliding door must be measured in your new residence, saving you time on moving day to simply place the furniture in its respective places. 

You can book experienced senior downsizing movers in Regina, who will help you with your floor mapping and furniture measurements, making your move quite easy and simple. 

You can downsize your household belongings into six categories.

Along with keeping the furniture dimensions, you can sort out the ones that are no longer needed in your new space.  

Keep: Well-maintained and usable furniture can be kept with you in your new space, without which you won't be able to continue your daily routine.  

Sell: The furniture that is no longer needed in your new space and whose absence wouldn't cause any effect can be sold. For example, furniture that is of good quality has stronger raw materials. 

Donate: Furniture that can be used by someone else, but is not needed in your new space, can be donated to the people who actually need it. 

Dispose: If your house furniture is totally broken and damaged and cannot be used, it can be disposed of, preventing the weight of moving boxes from exceeding up. 

Gift: If any furniture or belongings carry sentimental value for you and you don’t want to donate or sell them, then you can simply gift them to your close ones or family members. 

Decide later: The furniture holding memories and plenty of emotion that you are not ready to give away can be decided later. 

Here's another piece of advice from an expert: To sort out appropriately, you can start with one room and continue at this pace instead of sorting out the things together for all the rooms. 

Differentiate and sort out the sentimental and less sentimental belongings.

Sometimes the question is not about whether this large art piece or a family photograph will fit into the new space. Sometimes it also sounds like, “This piece of art or a photograph still tells a story?" 

This is where your emotions start overpowering your practical approach, but you can prefer deciding about that sentimental furniture later and start focusing on the ones that are less sentimental.

• You can start packing the kitchen and bathroom essentials, which are actually a need in your new space. 
• Pack up the belongings of your guest room and linen closet, along with the essentials of your living spaces, which generally do not tell any story. 

To manage the weight of your moving boxes, you can analyze the clothing and linen that you do not use anymore in order to sort them out from your moving items. Also, expired kitchen essentials or damaged kitchen tools can be removed from your moving inventory list to make it a budget-friendly move. 

Here’s what you can do with your sentimental belongings! 

You can digitize those photographs that will only make your new space a little tighter and hold plenty of memories. Through this, you can keep the memories with you alive and cherish them forever for the rest of your life.
