Tips for Making a Move to Boise
Boise is a hot place right now. Touted by
many, this bustling city is one of the fastest growing in the US. With mild
weather, plenty of outdoor activities, a growing economy, a connected community
and a rising food scene, this city is great for families and millennials alike.
And there's something to suit every taste.
When preparing for your move to Boise, advanced planning will help streamline the process. Read on for practical resources from the pros at Capell Flooring and Interiors to help simplify your transition.
Find Your Dream Home
Before you can move, you need a place to stay.
●
Determine a budget for your future home, taking into
account the down payment, closing costs, and home inspection.
●
If you're buying property out of
state, work with a local Realtor who knows the area.
●
When determining your mortgage
needs, factor in upgrades you'll want to make, like adding a security fence.
●
Before you sign on the dotted
line, assess the neighborhood the property is in.
Start Planning Your Move in Advance
Leave sufficient time to get through your pre-moving checklist to avoid last-minute stress.
● Create a comprehensive checklist to structure your move.
●
If you’re a business owner, you’ll
need to set up your business structure (i.e., LLC, partnership, corporation,
etc.) and register with the state of Idaho
before beginning operations there.
●
Find trustworthy professionals to help with your
move online. If you're going out of state, make sure they offer long-distance
services.
●
Set aside one bag or box of essentials you'll need on
move-in day and bring it with you instead of sending it with the movers.
●
If you have kids and pets, prepare accordingly.
Get Settled Into Your New Community
The moving process doesn't end once you've arrived. There are still things to do.
● Take proactive steps to introduce yourself to your new neighbors.
●
Download mobile apps that connect you to the surrounding community.
●
Look up local events online that you can attend to get a
better sense of your new surroundings.
● Don't forget practicalities. Rely on online resources and references to find service providers like electricians, plumbers, and more in your new hometown
Boise truly is a great place to call home. Wherever you decide to go, the resources above can help simplify your move. This will minimize stress and allow you to focus on the excitement of settling into a brand new chapter of your life.

If your home is starting to feel boring, dull, or otherwise
uninspiring, it’s time to make some improvements! Aim to turn your home into a
calmer and healthier space that reflects your values and aligns with your
needs. Your home environment should spark your creativity, foster relaxation,
and offer comfort at the end of a long day. Here’s how to achieve it!
Do Some Redecorating
If you want to refresh your home but don’t want to invest in
costly remodeling projects, a little light decorating will do the job! Paint
the walls and invest in a few new interior decorations. Better yet, to really
personalize your living spaces, check into wallpaper
that’s customizable. You’ll find that there’s a wide range of
easy-to-apply prepasted and removable wallpaper products on the market, some
that even allow you to upload your own designs! You can also play around with
colors and textures.
Swap out old, worn furniture for modern pieces that reflect
your personality. This is a great chance to use your home décor to make small
rooms feel bigger and large rooms feel cozier. Using interior design hacks,
like installing mirrors and hanging floor-to-ceiling curtains, can trick the
eye into seeing a room as bigger than it really is!
Updated flooring can make a significant
difference in the look and feel of a home. Consider switching from carpet to
hardwood or laminate, or swap out worn carpet for a new color with a fresh
design. Or perhaps it’s time to give your kitchen the update you’ve been
dreaming off with new countertops, a fresh look for cabinets and a
Lastly, take a look at your bedroom. This room should feel
like a safe and secure sanctuary. Choose calm colors for your
furnishings, linens, paint, and décor. Add layered lighting so you can turn off
bright overhead lights in the evening and enjoy a warm, atmospheric glow. You
may even want to add a soothing scent to your bedroom in the form of candles,
fresh flowers, or an essential oil diffuser.
Invest in Outdoor
Improvements
Don’t let your home design improvements stop with the inside
of your home. During the pandemic, we all spent a lot more time enjoying our
outdoor living areas. By now, you likely have a few ideas for improvements that
would make your landscaping work better for you and your family. If you want
some space for your kids to run around, but you could do with a little less lawn maintenance, some strategic
landscaping is in order. Hire a professional who provides landscape design
services to help you optimize the use of your outdoor space, ensuring the
result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Another option is to add an outdoor kitchen. This is a great
update if your family likes to spend a lot of time in the backyard and loves to
cook. A sink, an island range hood, a built-in gas grill and
durable counterspace will bring together the perfect outdoor escape.
Bring the Outdoors
Inside
Incorporating plants into your interior decor is a great way
to add a pop of color to a neutral palette or compliment a colorful design.
Plus, indoor plants have been shown to provide mental and physical health
benefits! Indoor plants can reduce stress and anxiety,
boost productivity, improve your air quality, and lower blood pressure. You
don’t need to have a green thumb to enjoy these benefits. Plenty of indoor
plants can thrive with very little effort from you!
Do Away with Clutter
If you don’t have a lot of time or money to spend on
redecorating your home, work on organizing it from A to Z. You can start by
decluttering, which is one the best things you can do to refresh your space.
Getting rid of the stuff you no longer want, creating space to store everything
you use, and keeping the visual clutter to a minimum can take a lot of weight
off your shoulders. Eliminating clutter will help you think more clearly, clean
more efficiently, and get more out of your available space. Stylist suggests decluttering in small, bite-sized
chunks so you can avoid getting overwhelmed.
It’s been a long couple of years living with the pandemic.
Are you ready to shake things up? Cleaning, redecorating, and otherwise
improving your home can help you put the pandemic behind you and start fresh!

Hello Friends, Welcome to the June edition of the Neighborhood Advisor! Has your summer fun kicked into high gear yet? That may mean spending time in the water, planning some backyard barbeques, or getting out of town for a family vacation (or maybe all three). We’re loving this summer over here at Capell Flooring! But as nice as it is to be getting outside, a single summer can do a lot of damage to your floors on the inside of your home. That’s why at Capell Flooring, we conduct a full Design Audit where we talk to every client about their needs and the level of traffic the area sees before we make a recommendation on flooring. We want to make sure that whatever you choose for your home, from an attractive and easy-to-care-for vinyl to a plush carpeting, you’re going to be happy for years to come. Thank you once again for spending a bit of your summer with our newsletter. We hope you’re enjoying it out by the pool! Find an article, trivia contest, or puzzle you love, and we can’t wait to see you in the store sometime soon. You friend, Matt Capell |
