Moving from a small house to a bigger one doesn't pose that much problem when it comes to taking all of all of your things with you. You can practically take every possession you own and still have so much space left to fill in your new abode. The tricky part when moving,Movers Austin Tips to Moving into a Smaller House Articles however, is when you get to transfer from a bigger house to a smaller one. Obviously, you need to downsize. And, doing so is not an easy thing to do especially if you've never done it before. But, worry not, for below you'll find some useful tips from Movers Austin to help ease some of your moving stress.



When moving from a big house to a smaller one, one of the first steps that you must make is to sort out your belongings. You have to decide which things are important and valuable to you and which things need to be discarded or disposed of. Your packing time should be viewed as an opportunity to throw away appliances, furniture or stuffs that are broken and beyond repair. If you cannot use them anymore, it makes perfect sense to get rid and to toss them out into the dumpster.


Surely, not all of your old stuffs can end up broken or are in need of repair. Some old appliances may be in good working condition. However, you may already own brand-new varieties that make use of newer technology and are much more efficient. If that's the case, you should consider donating a few of them to charity. In any case you wish to earn money from your old clothes, appliances and belongings, you can put then up for a garage sale. Your big furniture pieces which will take up a lot of space in your new home can be taken to consignment shops where you can sell them off for some profits.



If your move to a smaller house is viewed as a temporary thing, you need not get rid of so many possessions that you own. Movers Austin suggests that you should consider renting a storage facility where your possessions can be stored for a short-term period. Most moving companies have self-storage units which you can rent and this will help solve your dilemma of not having to sell off bigger pieces of furniture that you really love. Instead of donating or selling items you have in excess for your small house, you can now have them stored temporarily until you can move in to a bigger house later in the future. Resorting to a  self-storage facility is also a convenient, safe and secure way to store household items not only on short-term but on long-term periods, too.
