1. Help that picture wall look its best
Any interiors Instagram worth its salt is showing off grid-inspired picture galleries on Farrow & Ball inspired walls right now. Nevertheless, it can soon become less visually appealing and more of a nuisance when dust begins to creep in.
Rune advises: ‘Try to avoid cleaning the glass with a dry cloth because it will create a charge on the glass. Charged glass gathers a lot of dust, so try to clean it with a moist wipe and then let it air dry. For a speedy clean, rub alcohol and a drop of hot water onto the glass surface and let the alcohol evaporate. You will then be left with perfectly clean glass.’

1. Created a moving caddy – to have everything on hand so I wasn’t continually searching for it. If the kids used it they knew where to return it back to.
2. Book your removalist – try to book your removalist as soon as you know when you want to move. Booking in advance is crucial as many companies book up quite quickly and you may miss out on the date you want. This is particularly important if you’re looking to move interstate, or if you want to move during the moving busy season
