Home organisation guides — inventory, labels, storage, moving
How to keep track of what you own and where it is, whether you use Neatkept or not.
Home inventory for insurance
After a flood or a burglary, the insurer asks what you had and what it was worth. A list made now, with photos, turns weeks of remembering into an afternoon.
Label moving boxes
Moving day is close and the boxes are piling up. A few minutes of labelling per box decides whether you find the kettle tonight or next month.
QR labels for storage boxes
You have a stack of storage boxes and keep opening the wrong one. A QR label turns "what's in here?" into one scan.
Organise a garage or storeroom
The garage or the storeroom has become the place things go to be forgotten. You want to walk in, take what you need and walk out.
Things across several homes
You live in the flat, spend weekends at the country house and keep a few things at the office. Half the time, what you need is in the other place.
Seasonal storage
Twice a year the coats and the sandals change places. Six months later, nobody remembers which box the ski gloves went into.
Declutter by a rule
The cupboards are full and you'd let some things go, but every single one feels like it might be needed. A rule decides faster than you can.
Self-storage unit inventory
You rent a storage unit across town and go there twice a year. Every time, you open five boxes to find the one you came for.
Furnished rental inventory
You let one or more furnished flats. At every handover someone asks what was there, and in what state.
Outgrown kids' clothes
Your older child outgrows a size every few months. You keep the good things for the younger one, and then can't find them when the time comes.
Store Christmas decorations
Every January the decorations go into whatever box is nearest. Every December you open six of them to find the lights.
