Preparing Your Home for Spring: Flatpack Assembly Tips

Spring is the season of fresh starts — a time for decluttering, redecorating, and refreshing your home. Whether you're adding new storage, updating your home office, or preparing for outdoor living, flatpack furniture is a popular and practical choice.

To help you get your home spring-ready, here are some expert flatpack assembly tips from BJD Flatpack Assembly, proudly serving Portsmouth, Southampton, Hampshire, and West Sussex.

🧼 1. Tackle Spring Cleaning First

Before opening any flatpack boxes, give the area a thorough clean. This clears space for assembly and helps you declutter before adding new furniture.

Tip: A clean, organised space makes assembly smoother and more enjoyable.

📐 2. Plan Your New Layout

If you're refreshing a room, plan your layout in advance. Measure both your space and the furniture to ensure everything fits and flows well.

Tip: Measure twice, assemble once!

📦 3. Consider Storage Solutions

Spring is the perfect time to add smart storage. Flatpack shelves, cabinets, and units help keep your home tidy and organised.

Tip: Choose versatile storage that can adapt to your changing needs.

💻 4. Set Up a Home Office for Spring Productivity

Thinking of upgrading your workspace? Flatpack desks, chairs, and filing cabinets are ideal for creating a productive home office.

Tip: Don’t forget cable management and ergonomic setup during assembly.

🌿 5. Get Ready for Outdoor Living (Early!)

Spring is the best time to assemble garden furniture, sheds, or outdoor storage — before the summer rush and heat.

Tip: Early assembly means you’re ready to enjoy the sunshine as soon as it arrives.

🔩 6. Don’t Forget the Details

Pay attention to the small things — tighten screws properly, install protective caps, and follow instructions carefully for a polished finish.

Tip: A little extra care during assembly goes a long way in durability and appearance.
