“With a great house, comes great responsibility.”

Moving into a premium villa is a great accomplishment. It’s a great milestone in one’s life that sure gives that long-yearned feeling of accomplishment. While moving into a premium villa might sound very exciting but managing a villa is equally a daunting task if you don’t know anything about it.

Believe it or not, If you don’t give serious thought to managing your villas properly then it can literally cost you more to live in such a big house both financially and emotionally.

So If you can manage your villa with the simple and practical tips that we’re just about to tell you then you will LITERALLY thank us!

Here’s the proper framework, for those who are newly moving into a big house, which is essential to properly manage a big house without being overwhelmed and saving time & money. Just like a PRO!

List down every possible chore (don’t miss anything):

Sit down, clear out your mind, take a deep breath and start jotting down the daily household task on a piece of paper or on “Notes” in your phone. Almost all the tasks at home are required to be done daily. For eg: there is laundry, making the bed, doing the dishes/emptying the dishwasher, vacuuming and so on. 

The purpose of creating this to-do list is to help you remember your tasks and complete them.

Now assign duties:

Okay, now we have listed out all the tasks. It is time to assign duties to everyone in the house. After all, it is unrealistic to expect a single person to do all those tasks. Everyone in the house should help. Even kids can help by doing age-appropriate chores.

Clear the Clutter:

A big house like a villa has a lot of items. And if all those items are just lying around everywhere then you have nothing but clutter in your house. Clutter is not good in any sense. It makes your house look disorganized, constantly bugs your mind and completely stresses your mind. 

Believe it or not, a well-managed home soothes your mind and keeps your stress levels down. You will feel it yourself when you declutter your home with these tips below:

• Do a quick sweep of the room to remove and put away any items that clearly belong in other rooms
• Use a basket to collect items that belong in other rooms and return them to their proper spots
• Clear away all the paper
• Create a sorting routine. Make labels for different boxes and containers. 
• Remove all the broken, expired, missing, or old things and free up their space
• Keep only the required things on the kitchen counter and store the rest in cabinets
• Never cram your cabinets and cupboards’
• Get rid of anything that you can remember using in the last 12 months

Store things with similar or complementary purposes together.

Make a maintenance list for the whole month:

Bigger the house, the higher the need for maintenance. So every month make sure you have a list of things that need your attention. For example, you can include plumbing checkups, window cleaning, fixing broken appliances or things. 

This list will not just allow you to organize the priority of the task but also give you a heads up on the budget allocation that you would need to make in the coming month. 

Install power & cost-efficient bulbs:

A bigger house requires more lights and bulbs and more lights & bulbs mean more electricity bills. But by installing cost and power-efficient bulbs you can even half the amount of your current electricity bill. However, at First Estate, a gated community of premium villas in Coimbatore, all the villas come with power & cost-efficient bulbs and lights per-installed!

Go for Home Automation:

There is nothing like the luxury of Home Automation. Home Automation is actually a boon to villas and mansions. After all, you wouldn’t want to run around the house all day to handle electrical appliances, right? It just isn’t practical in the modern world.

So a fully automated and interconnected system is what you ideally want to have before moving into a big house. 

That’s all about it! We hope you gained some real value from this post and all your doubts about managing a big home is all clear.
