Downsizing or Upsizing: How to Know What to Take and What to Ditch
Whether you're moving to a larger home or simplifying your lifestyle, one question always comes up: what do I actually need to bring with me?
Let’s break it down:
👉 If You're Downsizing
Smaller space = smarter choices. Here's how to decide what to keep:
- Start with your must-haves (daily-use items, essentials, heirlooms).
- Measure your new space so you know what will fit.
- Digitise what you can (photos, files, DVDs).
- Consider storage for seasonal or sentimental items you can't part with.
👉 If You're Upsizing
You’ll likely need more furniture—but don’t rush to fill the space.
- Take this opportunity to redecorate intentionally.
- Keep quality over quantity.
- Use your extra room for what really matters: a home office, kids’ playroom, or peaceful reading nook.
Tip: Use Moving as a Reset
Moving is the perfect excuse to get rid of clutter. Be ruthless—don’t pack things “just in case.” You’ll save time, energy, and moving costs.
