Those who organise their moving boxes well make unpacking much easier. With a clear system, every box finds its place and nothing gets lost.

Label systematically

Note the destination room and contents on each box. Label on the side, not just on top, so you can read it even when stacked. A colour system per room helps even more.

Colour system

Assign a colour to each room and mark the boxes accordingly, for example with stickers or coloured tape. In the new home, a coloured note on each door shows where each box goes.

Tip: Keep a numbered list of the boxes with their contents. That way you quickly find specific items without having to open everything.

First-night box

Prepare a separate box with the essentials for the first night: toothbrush, bedding, chargers, some crockery and medication. Mark it clearly so you find it right away.

Unpack methodically

Unpack room by room, starting with the kitchen and bedroom. Thanks to the labelling, each box goes straight to the right place. That way you keep an overview and avoid chaos.
