NOTE
SETTING UP A HOME

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A HOME AND A HOUSE
1.A home is a place or a state wherein one can take refuge and feel safe and comfortable while a house is the structure which serves as a place where a person or a family can live.
2.A home is a place where one feels that he belongs, a place with fond memories, and where he can feel most comfortable, safe, and happy while a house may just be the building that one lives in only temporarily.
3.While both a house and a home may refer to a place of dwelling, a home is more warm and full of love and happiness which can be lacking in a house.

 

Here are tips for setting up a new home

  1. Give your new home a thorough cleaning

Use your personal favorite cleaning products with scents that you enjoy so your new home can already start to smell like you, and the new sparkle will be all the more incentive to settle in.

  1. Set up your bed first

Decide where you want your bed to go, put on a set of clean sheets, and create as appealing a space as possible in the surrounding area.

  1. Put your toiletries in their place

Now that the bathroom is squeaky clean, arrange your toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and so on just how you like them. A house feels more like a home when you can sleepily reach for the toilet paper and it’s there for your use!

  1. Unpack your other necessities

Now that the bedroom and bathroom are in place, prepare the other heart of the home: your kitchen. Get the plates, bowls and silverware put away so you are ready for a meal (or a bowl of cereal), and organize all of your favorite heirloom knickknacks so that they’re where you’d like them. Organize the spice rack, get a sponge by the sink, and make a cup of tea.

  1. Set up your drawers and closets

Set up your dressers and closets, and unpack your suitcases and clothes so that you’re not living out of boxes. Take the time to organize everything in such a way that it feels like you never moved.

  1. Finally, set up the living room

If you set up the living room too early, the temptation to sit and take a “quick” break might derail your well-intentioned unpacking efforts. So leave this one for last and, once you’ve set up your favorite cozy space to take a breather and relax, you will have accomplished the biggest stuff already and feel like you deserve to crash on the couch with a smile on your face.
