I am a mess! Please help me with unpacking?

Sorry if the wrong topic. I wanted a collective input and there seems to be the most traffic on here.

We've just moved house (after many many years of trying) which is exciting however I now have a room filled with boxes to unpack and a bit of an unpacking block as to where things should go.
There are 2 adults, 2 kids and 1 dog.
If I list the spaces/cupboards we have in the house I was hoping some mumsnetters more organised than me can give me some tips before I turn this house into a complete mess?

we have:
utility - space for washer & dryer one large empty cupboard with no shelves (used to be a dishwasher) and about 3 wall cupboards.
kitchen - I have units on two walls one wall where the fridge freezer is and opposite wall where cooker and oven are both sides have 5 cupboards plus 4 drawers on each side too the cooker side also has some deep wide drawers I have used for pans.
we have an under the stairs cupboards - what goes in there?!

Any tips and advice about general unpacking would be super appreciated as I am really overwhelmed.

Can't really help without knowing what's in the boxes!

I'd say if you're feeling overwhelmed, just open one box and make a decision where it's going "for now". If you find that it doesn't work, you can always move it right? You're not gluing it onto shelves!

Once you start you will probably find it goes much quicker than you expected. Get a brew on and have at it ☕

Get some post it’s and write categories on each- cleaning stuff, tinned food etc etc.
go round and put them on cupboards and rearrange until it feel right.
then unpack a box at a time. Good luck
