Moving to a new house is usually seen as a stressful affair these days. Shifting homes is like shifting worlds. Earlier, you had to just move from one place to another with your furniture. Now, you have to move with your phone connection, Internet connection and television network. When you live in a wired world, you have to move around with wires. And yet, there are some unsaid pleasures of moving into a new house.

Despite all the glitches and hassles of shifting homes, there is a novelty of the experience that no one can deny. The good things in a new house can be your inspiration to change your address. Setting up a new house is physically and mentally tiring and yet, there is some profound joy to be found in it. The constant planning about what to keep where, the inevitable fights about who gets the bigger bedroom and decorating your home in a budget that is bound to get exceeded - all these little things make the experience of moving to a new house unique and enjoyable.

There are certain things that you get to feel and enjoy only in a new house. Moving into a new house is a culmination of all these little pleasures of life. Here are 10 best things about moving into a new house.

Smell Of Fresh Paint

The smell of fresh paint is something that you can get only when you move to a new place. You can always get your old place painted, but mostly you associate fresh paint with a new house.

Mental Mapping

When you are moving to a new home, you constantly keep mentally mapping the space available and how you are going to use it. Usually, all these mental maps get discarded several times and finally you set up your house quite differently from what you had imagined.

Finding Lost Things

While moving to a new place, you actually go through all the stuff in your packing boxes. You might surprisingly find many things that you had lost or completely forgotten about it. For example, an old watch or a pair of earrings that lay unused for many years.

Trying Hard To Be Neat

When you move to a new place, you try to be at your best behavior. No dumping clothes on the bed, no messing up the couch etc. This conscious neatness lasts for about a week before you sink back to being your old self.

New Home Sex

It is an old saying that it is bad luck to not make love on the first night in a new house. So moving homes could be a good thing for couples who have not had any action in bed lately.

Eating Out

Your kitchen is packed in brown cardboard boxes and you don't have any time to cook at least for 2 days while you are setting up your home. So the lady of the house gets a rest and you can eat out at your favourite places on these days.

Discarding What You Always Wanted To

We are too busy to even discard things these days. So there might be this bean bag that you meant to discard for a long time or some old clothes that are eating up cupboard space in your house. You have just got the perfect excuse to get rid of them.

Clean Bathrooms

Usually, you will see fresh tiles and clean mirrors in a new house. If you don't, then the fun of moving to a ‘new' place is marred.

Empty Shelves

When was the last time you opened your cupboard and saw empty shelves? It has to be the time you moved homes. Empty shelves give you a sense of creative space. All that empty space is there for you to fill the way you want to.

Buying Things For The Heck Of It

When we move to a new house, we suddenly become more lenient with our money. Sometimes, we buy things just because they go well with our beautiful new home. For example, you may not ‘need' new curtains, but you definitely want them!
