Unpacking

WHITE-GLOVE UNPACKING FOR A SEAMLESS TRANSITION

Our Unpacking Service provides seamless, hands-on support designed to transform the chaos of moving into a calm and effortless experience. From the moment the boxes arrive, we take care of every detail - carefully unpacking, categorising, and organising your belongings into intuitive systems tailored to your lifestyle. Whether it’s your kitchen, wardrobe, or utility space, we ensure each area is arranged with precision and purpose. The result is a beautifully ordered home that feels like yours from the very first day - so you can focus on settling in, not sorting out.

WHAT WE OFFER

Whether you've just bought a new home or are moving into a rental, our Unpacking Service is designed to be flexible, allowing you to choose the exact level of support you need. Here are some of the ways we help our clients settle in effortlessly:

  • Ahead of your move, we offer expert packing assistance to ensure every item is packed with care and ready for a smooth and efficient unpacking process. At this stage, we can also offer assistance with decluttering - to ensure that you only move things that truly serve you.

  • On move-in day, we efficiently unpack your belongings with care and precision. We’ll take your lifestyle, routines and aesthetic preferences into consideration at every step, to create a welcoming environment where everything feels intuitive from day one.

  • If preferred, we can unpack your belongings ahead of your arrival so you can focus on settling in without any stress or interruptions. We’ll make sure your new home is perfectly prepared for your arrival and that it feels like yours from the moment you step through the door.

  • Whether you’re staying in a hotel or a short-term rental, we can expertly unpack and organise your belongings for you, so you can settle in quickly and enjoy your stay without delay.

OUR PROCESS

  • 1. CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT

    We begin with a complimentary virtual consultation to understand your needs and determine how much assistance you require. Based on this, we provide a personalised quote. When you are ready to move forward, we'll book in your date.

  • 2. BESPOKE SOURCING AND STYLING (OPTIONAL)

    If you'd like us to source organisation products, styling pieces, or furniture for your new space, we can visit your new property or work from floor plans to curate a selection of options. Once approved, these items can be delivered directly to your new home ahead of the move, or to your current address to be brought over during the move. Learn more about our Bespoke Sourcing Service here.

    If you'd like expert guidance on how to style your existing furniture and accessories in your new home, our Styling Service can help you optimise your layout for both functionality and aesthetic appeal before moving day.

  • 3. UNPACKING

    On move-in day, we arrive ready to transform your new space with precision and care. We unpack your belongings efficiently and thoughtfully, taking into account your needs and lifestyle. From arranging your wardrobe to setting up your kitchen and styling your shelves, every detail is handled. The result is a beautifully organised home that feels calm, considered, and entirely yours - so you can settle in straight away.
