Black has always been a timeless symbol of classicism, modernity, and luxury in homes and fashion. For the 2012-2013 season, backto-school trends are seeing black appear once again at the top of the colour chart.

Latest trends offer us three choices in colour combinations: used with blue to produce a Thousand and One Nights atmosphere, with grey for an industrial design look, or with gold to recreate the Baroque style.

Get organized beforehand You’ve been planning for it for weeks now — and dreading it, too. Moving day is finally here, and the best way to jump into it is with a good breakfast. Sure, your kitchen stuff is all packed up, but a cup of yogurt and fruit, or a bagel and peanut butter will give you some protein for the hard day ahead. Have you arranged for someone to look after the children? If not, give them something to do; it’s a matter of channeling their stress in a positive way. Keep the box with their favourite toys close at hand. Prepare some snacks. Let them play in an empty room, far from all the hubbub. Leave your pets in a closed room with their food and water bowls, cat litter, and baskets. Put a sign on the door asking the movers not to disturb them. Ensure the animals are wearing identity tags.

rect address of your new house and try to be there before them. If you’ve hired a moving company, here is a tip: inspect your furniture before it leaves your home and check it again when it arrives at its destination. If there is any damage, ensure that it is clearly indicated on the invoice. Request a receipt if you have to pay the movers at the end of the day. Try to give yourself short breaks throughout the day. Drink some cool water and eat healthy snacks, such as fruit, nuts, and cheese, to keep up your energy levels and your morale.

The organization of storage space also requires some thought before you start putting things on shelves. After all, you want your new home to be neat and tidy, right? If space is cramped, you can shop for space-saving accessories to help you organize every room in your home. Try and take a day or two off work to unwind and open a few boxes. The sooner you have them unpacked and the stuff put away, the sooner you’ll feel truly at home.

Perhaps you had the opportunity to clean and paint before moving in. If not, clean the bathroom and the kitchen cabinets first. Before launching into painting and renovating, take the time to carefully plan the logistics, including budget, amounts of paint or other materials to buy, and colour schemes. It is better to think things over for a few days than have to live with a mistake for months, or even years.

IMPORTANT NOTIC

Post-move priorities

Psychologists say that once the move is over, you should set up young children’s bedrooms as quickly as possible. They should go to sleep surrounded by familiar objects, even on the first night. Their toys, their stuffed animals, and their security blankets will soon reassure and comfort them. As for teenagers, they’ll be happy to be involved in setting up their new bedroom.

AS SOON AS YOU KNOW THE DATE OF THE MOVE • Reserve the date with a moving company. Choose a well-established business, and don’t rely solely on quotes. It’s better to pay a touch more for good service. • If you rent a truck, contact family and friends who could give you a helping hand. Be sure to call or send out an e-mail to remind them a few days before the move. • Change your mailing address. Companies to contact with your new information: electricity provider; telephone; Internet; cable; insurance providers (take this opportunity to update your home insurance policy); financial institutions; the school your children attend; government agencies; and lawyer.

Everything has to be ready to go when the movers arrive.

Everything has to be ready to go when the movers arrive, whether they’re moving company pros or friends. Don’t forget to disconnect the fridge and take out the garbage. If you haven’t already done so, prepare a box with a first-aid kit, cleaning products, toilet paper, and other important items to put in your car. Make sure that the moving team has the cor-

The first thing to do once everything is moved into your new home is to reward all those who came out to help you. Pizza, donuts, and refreshments are the classic treats for amateur movers. Take the time to thank everyone individually and, if you can afford it, offer them a token of thanks, such as a gift certificate. No matter what the amount, it’s the thought that counts.

The secret to moving house without stress, or almost, can be summed up in one word: organization. From the moment you decide to move, start making a list of everything that has to be done and stick it on the fridge door. This will help you to meet all the deadlines and get ready for the big, stressful day.

PAINT STORE ••• WINDOW TREATMENT STORE ••• FLOORING SPECIALIST

FOUR TO EIGHT WEEKS BEFORE THE MOVE • Pack your belongings. Select cardboard boxes that are easy to carry. Identify each box. Photograph valuable objects. • Find someone to look after the children and any pets on the day of the move. THE LAST FEW DAYS • Prepare a box to put in your car. It will contain any bits and pieces that will come in handy during the move. Pack it with a firstaid kit, toilet paper, tools, cleaning products, and garbage bags. • Unplug all non-essential devices or appliances and tape the electric cords to their sides (lamps, deep freezer, and home cinema).
