Change the locks
If the former homeowners have been staying in the house for a long time, there are sure to be a number of key sets lying about.
The previous owners may have additional key sets and probably their children, friends, neighbors, housekeeper, handyman, contractor, real estate agent, etc. In the interests of your family’s safety, before you move into the house, you should look for best day to move into a new house.
Garage door opener
Just as there may be several keys to the front and back doors of the home, there may be additional door openings for the garage.
It is in your best interest to call a smith lock and update the security code for your garage door opener.
Call the exterminator
If the pest control was not part of your purchase agreement, you should have the property inspected for termites, rats, bees and mice before you move to your new house.
Since the house is vacant, any treatments will be easier and the chemicals will not get on your belongings.
If pests are found, you will not have to worry about your children or pets being exposed to toxic substances. If you have already had a pest check and it has registered negative, you may want to use a bug bomb just to make sure there are no unwelcome bugs, such as fleas, mites, or spiders until you move in.
Clean the house thoroughly-Prior to moving your things to the property, you will give the house a deep cleaning, which will eliminate all accumulated dust and debris from the previous owners. If possible, the best option would be to find out an auspicious date for moving.
Moving day
As the last day of moving comes, make sure you do not take anything you just throw away from your new house.
It would be easier to chuck it away instead of burdening yourself with extra boxes to pass around. Try to find out the best day of the week to move.
Check your things
If you hire a mover to transport any or more of your things, carefully inspect the items that have been transferred before signing the final job order. Check for any bent, scratched, or missing objects.

You can paint the walls a color of your choosing or just leave them plain white, but be sure to add some interesting details like pictures on the wall and extra decorations.

Curtains will help keep the room dark and comfortable at night but they can also add a nice decorative element as well.

This will help your room feel more cozy and comfortable in the long run and you can easily do these things as soon as you move into a new place, even if it’s just temporarily until you find something better.
With all of these tips combined; you should be able to successfully create a perfect bedroom for yourself!
