Use a colour coding system on your boxes, assigning each room in your new house a different
colour. Ideally use a floor plan (available from
espc.com) to easily highlight which room is
represented by which colour for those helping out on moving day.
Mark each box, case and item of furniture with the appropriate colour, and then put signs on the
doors of your new home as soon as you arrive to ensure that the furniture and boxes ends up
in the right place. This is especially useful for bedrooms, where you don’t want to have to move
large items of furniture such as beds, if they are left in the wrong rooms.
