Downsizing Guide

Moving to a smaller home without losing what matters.

Last updated 1 September 2026

Start with the new floor plan

Measure the rooms you are moving into before deciding what furniture comes with you. It is far easier to decide in advance than on moving day.

  • Keep what you use, love or cannot replace
  • Photograph items you are letting go of
  • Ask family early about anything being passed on
  • Book a clearance for whatever is left
