After the Toronto, ON moving company delivers your stuff and drives off, you’ll be left to unpack and to settle in. But once you’ve given yourself enough time to do this, you might be interested in taking on some relatively easy DIY projects that can spruce up your new living environment.

Here are some ideas for simple projects that you may be interested in taking on after moving into your new home. But while they are within the reach of many DIY types, you need to determine if you can tackle the projects or if you need to hire someone to do it for you.

Painting

When you buy a new home, you may or may not actually like the colour of paint on the walls. After you’ve moved, you might want to take a weekend or two to do some painting. Does the kitchen need a fresh coat or two of paint? Does the colour in the living room go with the furniture you’ve brought? Walk through your home and decide what rooms could benefit from a paint job.

Window Coverings

If you’re lucky, your new home will come with window coverings supplied. But this is not always the case as some homeowners clearly stipulate in their listings that the window coverings are not included in the sale price. If new window coverings are in order, you’ll want to decide what would work best. Do you want curtains? Would blinds work better? Are you interested in the more upscale look that wood shutters will give you? Most window coverings are a breeze to set up. But if you lack the time or don’t want to be bothered with doing it yourself, you can either get the window covering company to do it or enlist the help of a friend.

Decluttering

Yes, decluttering is a project, and it is a project that might be most pressing after a move. You’ll have loads of stuff in your home that you might not have an obvious place for. Storing everything in the garage, the shed, or the basement won’t work. If you simply have much more stuff than you do space, you can first look to get rid of what you don’t need or want. You can give stuff away, donate things to thrift shops, and sell items of value to recoup some of your money. Another option is to rent a storage unit to store stuff. This can be a good idea if you have things that you want to keep despite not having enough space to store it at home.
