Room-by-room moving inventory
An inventory turns "where is the kettle?" into "box 14, kitchen". Work through one room at a time and the job stays manageable.
- Start with storage areas such as the garage, attic and spare room. They're the easiest to pack early, and they show you what you can get rid of.
- For each room, list groups of items, not every fork. "Cutlery drawer" is enough. Record quantity, an approximate size, and whether it's fragile.
- Measure what matters: bulky items, anything that might not fit a standard box, and dense groups such as books. Mark the rest as estimates.
- Number boxes as you pack them and assign items to them. The master list then tells you what's in every box.
- Track status (packed, loaded, unloaded) on moving day to catch a missing box early.
- Keep a copy away from the boxes. Export the CSV or PDF in case your device is packed.
