Furnishing your new home
Moving isn't just about boxes - it's about creating a new home. We help you go from empty rooms to perfectly planned living spaces, using the right furniture, layout, and 3D design support.
Moving soon? Then you already know there’s a lot to think about – boxes, movers, timelines… but what about your new space itself? Before you pack a single item, there’s one step that can save you time, stress, and regret later: planning how you’ll furnish and set up your new home.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to make furniture planning an essential part of your moving preparations, and how our expert 3D layout tools can help you step into your new home fully prepared to settle in – not starting from scratch.
So whether you're relocating to a new town or just across the street, our stores throughout the UK are ready to inspire you with ideas for designing your home and selecting the right furniture to suit your new space.
Step 1:
Don't just move: Plan the layout first
Before you move everything from your old place, ask yourself:
Does it belong in the new space?
Just because it worked in your old home doesn't mean it fits your new lifestyle or aesthetic. Be selective - Keep only what enhances your new layout and complements your vision.
What's missing?
A new home is a fresh start. Identify gaps in functionality or style - perhaps you need more storage, better lighting, or updated design furniture.
Pro tip: Visit our stores to get a 3D drawing of your new home
Visit your local BoConcept store and use our free 3D Room Planner to design your future living room, dining room, and bedroom - using your actual floorplan. This way you'll know exactly what to order before moving day, so your new home is styled and ready from day one.
Step 2:
Create a furniture essentials list
Packing is easier when you know what stays, what goes, and what needs to be replaced. We recommend focusing on:
A comfortable sofa that fits your new room size
Start with the heart of your living space - a well-proportioned, comfortable sofa. It should suit both your lifestyle and your new home's layout. Whether you prefer a compact 2-seater or a spacious sectional,...
Multi-functional design pieces
Maximise both space and style with smart, multi-functional furniture. Storage coffee tables, extendable dining tables, or sofa beds are perfect for modern living, offering versatility without compromising on design.
Key accessories like rugs, art or pouffes
Finish your essentials list with pieces that bring personality and warmth. A well-placed rug can anchor a room, while art and pouffes add layer of colour, texture, and functionality - transforming your new house into a ...
Moving soon and ready to plan ahead? Let's get your new home set up before you arrive
Why wait until after the move to think about furniture? Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or relocating to a brand-new cuty, there's one thing you shouldn't leave to the last minute: How your furniture fits into your new space. We help future movers like you plan, visualise, and furnish their homes - before the first box even leaves your old place.
Step 3:
Make furniture a part of your moving checklist
Most checklists focus on utilities, movers, and packing. But smart movers plan space too. Add this to your prep list:
Plan your furniture from your new home's layout
Start by measuring your space or getting the floorplan. With our 3D interior design tool, we can use your floorplan to create a customised layout, helping you plan your home furnishing with precision and con...
Book furniture planning session
Moving is the perfect time to refresh your space with thoughtful design furniture. A planning session with our interior experts help you define zones, select key pieces, and create a cohesive home furnishing strategy...
Decide what to bring, sell, or replace and pre-order furniture for delivery to your new home
Sort what to take, sell, or replace. Use the move as a chance to refresh with modern, functional furniture. Pre-ordering ensures your new home is ready and beautifully furnished from day one.
BoConcept took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve, moving into a brand new apartment.
Delivery of furniture to your new home Order before moving day and get it delivered exactly when you're ready
A big part of moving home is of course the transport of furniture. We offer delivery and assembly of all your new BoConcept furniture. Arrange the delivery of your furniture to your new address instead of getting it shipped to your current home, and save the trouble of hiring a moving company.

A modern home in Herlev
We were asked to help a newly single father furnish an entire house from scratch – a new-build home in Herlev where he and his three children could start their next chapter together. Though he had a strong sense of style, the scale of the project felt overwhelming. That’s where we came in, guiding the design to create a calm, cohesive space with room for family life.
Shared style in a modern townhouse in Hørsholm
We were asked to help a couple create their first shared home – a move-in that meant merging not just belongings, but two distinct styles. With high ceilings, striking architecture, and strong individual tastes, the challenge was clear: find a design direction they could both feel at home in. Our role was to create cohesion without compromise – and turn this architectural gem into a warm, balanced space for two.
A new-build family home in Nærum
We were asked to help a couple with three children bring warmth, function, and flow to the home they’d just built with their architect – just north of Copenhagen. They wanted professional support with the hallway, dining room and living room, and invited us in early in the process to shape the interior around their daily life.
Absolutely brilliant service from start to Finish! We were kept updated through the whole process, from design to delivery everything was made easy for us.
