Is your friend moving in with you? you might be worried about how to accommodate your stuff along with the one your friend will bring along. However, there’s nothing to worry about as this is the best chance to utilize your Space Next Door. If you find it difficult to adjust your stuff along with the things your friend will bring, this article will guide you out of trouble.
Try to make some space in the house
The first thing you should do in such a situation is, rearrange your stuff in a way that you get to have extra space in your house. This will surely require extra effort because moving heavy stuff including your furniture isn’t that easy. By doing this, you won’t only have extra space but your house will get new and a different look.
Share the stuff you have in common
Sharing a house means sharing everything. If your friend is moving to your place, you need to share your stuff. So if there are things which you both have in common, then you should use one of them and put the other one in the storage area. Moreover, some electronics will consume a lot of your space. If both of you have such things, then it’s a very good idea to use either of them and keep the other one in the storage room.
Do not overburden the storage room
Your friend surely had the heavy stuff which is the base for a living, such as television, furniture, and ACs, etc. make sure your friend doesn’t bring such things because you already have them. Even if you share these things and put the spare ones in the storage room, this way your storage room will be filled and you won’t have enough space to store the other useful stuff which can be used in the long term.
Furthermore, as these things can be easily sold in the markets, so you can sell them to save the storage space in your house.
Buy furniture that is suitable for two people
Instead of using separate furniture, you can buy the ones that can accommodate two people at the same time. For example, two single beds require more space as compared to the space required by a double bed. Moreover, you might have those things in your furniture which are counted as extras, like extra tables and showcases, you can dispose of them because they require extra space for no good.
Things you should do when your friend is moving to your place
As you need to avoid future disagreements and problems, you should communicate with each other about the things you have and the ones you need to buy. Go shopping together and purchase the things with mutual consent. Sharing is sometimes not easy. That’s because there will be times when you both will want to use something coincidently, that you’re sharing. Therefore, decide how will you share the stuff.
