Yes, absolutely! That is why we developed the Ready-Home Service.

We understand that everyone has different needs, skills and budgets, so we offer a range of services to help you furnish your home in a way that suits you best.

Premium Ready-Home Service: easiest, most comfortable start

This is the best fit if you want a comfortable, low-stress start to life in the Netherlands, especially if you’re moving with family or starting work right away.

With the Premium Ready-Home Service:

• We simplify your furnishing experience using the Ready-Home Builder
• We take care of everything: delivery, assembly, and even removing packaging
• You arrive to a home that’s fully ready to live in from day one

It’s ideal if you want the least disruptive experience and don’t want to spend your first weeks on furniture logistics. Choose our home Wi-Fi add-on to get you up to speed even faster!

Assist Option: budget-friendly, with help and guidance

The Assist Option is great if you want guidance and simplicity but are happy to receive the delivery yourself.

With Assist:

• You still get access to the Ready-Home Builder to simplify your shopping experience
• We assist with arrangements like orders and timing
• For assembly, you can either do it yourself, or we can recommend a highly-rated professional to help

This option is ideal if you’re hands-on, budget-minded, and want to save money while still getting expert support.

DIY Option: for the ultimate do-it-yourselfer

The DIY Option is perfect if you prefer to manage most of the process yourself but just need someone to receive the delivery on your behalf.

With DIY:

• You take the lead on purchasing and assembly
• We’re there to receive delivery on your behalf so that you don’t have to be on site

This is ideal for people who enjoy doing things themselves or have experience setting up homes.

We’ve calculated the full estimated cost, to help you budget.

The Ready-Home Service is currently available in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Hilversum, Almere, and the Amersfoort area. If you need support outside this area, don’t hesitate to get in touch at info@easyarrival.nl to see if we can assist.

While IKEA’s huge selection is fantastic, it can be very overwhelming, and there are enough IKEA memes out there to prove it. Having too many choices can actually make decision-making harder and more stressful.

That’s why we created the Ready-Home Builder: a tool that takes the stress out of furnishing your home.

With it you’ll:

• Get all the essentials you need from day one, whether you are a single person or a family travelling with kids.
• Enjoy a simpler, more stress-free furnishing experience
• Choose from a thoughtful, curated selection to reduce overwhelm
• The curated selection is tailored to different preferences, with affordable, balanced, and more stylish or feature-rich options
• Still have shortcuts to bigger product categories if you want more options
• Avoid costly mistakes like poorly rated products or missing components

In short, the Ready-Home Builder turns what can be a confusing, time-consuming process into a smooth, simple experience because we know how busy and stressful a move can be.

We source most of the furniture from IKEA because we believe it’s one of the best options for most expats moving to the Netherlands. IKEA works especially well for newcomers because it combines affordability, convenience, choice, and services that fit how people live today.

Here’s why:

• IKEA has a large network of stores throughout the Netherlands
• They have a huge selection of products, from affordable to stylish
• You can get almost everything you need in one place, delivered in a single delivery
• They offer good-quality furniture at lower prices than many other retailers
• Their space-saving designs are especially well-suited for Dutch homes
• They have a generous return policy (typically up to 365 days)

No problem, we understand that everyone is different. Contact us at info@easyarrival.nl to see how we can best support your needs.

Absolutely! Our Ready-Home Builder service includes helping you choose and organise everything your children will need before you arrive. That means we can set up children’s beds, high chairs, dining sets sized for kids, and other essentials to make their rooms safe and welcoming. We’ll tailor everything to your family’s needs so you walk into a comfortable, kid-ready home from day one.

Yes, absolutely! That is why we included pet essential as an optional add on. We can help you prepare your new home to be pet friendly before you arrive. That can include organizing all the essential items your pets will need, such as beds, bowls, scratching posts, litter trays, and more.

Just let us know what type of pets you’re bringing and any specific needs they have. We’ll take care of the rest.

We offer 5G mobile-router rental because getting a home fiber internet connection in the Netherlands usually takes 2–3 weeks or more.

Our 5G mobile-router gives you fast, plug-and-play internet right away, so you can work from home, join video calls, stay in touch with family and friends, and set up all your services before your permanent connection is ready. It’s especially useful for people with deadlines, remote jobs, kids, or anyone who doesn’t want to be offline in the first days and weeks of settling in.

In the Netherlands, a local Dutch phone number is more than just a convenience. It’s a requirement. While an eSIM is great while traveling, you will need a valid Dutch mobile number to open a bank account, register for a DigiD (your official government ID), and sign up for essential utilities. We offer this as an optional extra so you are connected and “administrative-ready” the moment you land.

Absolutely. We know that a home isn’t truly functional without the right appliances, which is why we offer them as a flexible add-on. Whether you prefer to rent or purchase, we’ll handle the sourcing and logistics for you.

Ready to get started? Contact us at info@easyarrival.nl and we’ll find the perfect fit for your home.

Our goal is to ensure your home is functional the moment you walk through the door while keeping your costs down.

This approach also gives you the creative freedom to personalize your space over time with décor that truly reflects your style. However, if you’d prefer a “full turnkey” experience, we’re happy to help! We can source and set up everything down to the last cushion. Just ask us for a customized full-furnishing quote at info@easyarrival.nl.

When you arrive in a new country, there’s so much to organise. Grocery shopping often becomes one of the last things you want to deal with. Between unpacking, working your way through the long list of essential administrative tasks, navigating unfamiliar shops and learning a new language, a trip to the supermarket can feel stressful and confusing. This is especially true after a long journey or with kids in tow!

It’s easy to forget essentials like salt, toilet paper or cleaning supplies when your focus is on settling into your home and life in a new place. In fact, many expats have to learn Dutch supermarket systems and product brands from scratch, which can take time and add frustration to an already busy start.

That’s exactly why we offer basic groceries as an optional extra, so you can walk into a home that already has the essentials stocked in the fridge and pantry. It saves you time, reduces stress, and helps ensure your first night in the Netherlands feels comfortable and smooth instead of overwhelming.

Expats are often used to driving everywhere in their home countries, and it often comes as a shock when they realise they now have to walk everywhere.

Most Dutch cities are designed for cycling rather than driving. That is why we provide rental bicycles as an immediate solution. This gives you the freedom to commute to the station or grocery store with ease while you take the time to find the perfect permanent bike for your needs.

While the Netherlands is a cycling nation, some expats still require a car for work or family life. Navigating the Dutch leasing market alone can be challenging. Many providers require a local credit history, high deposits, or only operate in Dutch. We bridge this gap by connecting you with expat-friendly leasing partners who understand your unique situation and offer streamlined, English-language support.
