A quick moving-in dinner in your new home

Moving house can be a messy deal, but why not turn the mild chaos in your favour? Reward the family with a gathering among moving crates and bare walls.

Pizzas in cartons and a lazy Susan with snacks in a BLANDA BLANK bowl on it placed on stacks of JÄTTENE packaging boxes.

Interior in the middle of moving in. JÄTTENE boxes stacked to form a two-level table set for a simple meal, seating around it.

Build a cardboard table

In the middle of a move, it’s likely hard to locate all tables, stools and chairs. Just as likely, there’s no shortage of moving boxes. Use them to assemble a DIY surface tailored in both size – and heights.

A clear-plastic SAMLA box, filled with BLANDA serving bowls, a lazy Susan and tableware, all placed on stacked JÄTTENE boxes.

Store what you need in plain sight

While most things rest safely tucked away in cardboard, an instant dinner requires at least some items to be easily found. Keeping vital accessories in see-through boxes also makes it easy to involve the children: First one to find the lazy Susan gets the biggest pizza slice!

A makeshift table made of moving boxes and SOMMARMALVA shower curtain as tablecloth, set with pizzas on SNUDDA lazy Susans.

A welcome for everyone, big and small

With a shower curtain as a protective tablecloth and sturdy tableware to boot, it’s suddenly time for your first supper in your new home. While you’re at it, why not hang a welcome sign to usher passing neighbours to join in?
