Color Code Rooms When Moving

I've been reading the moving advice here and have one more thought to it. When I moved, I bought 20 sheets of red, blue, green and yellow paper etc each, from at a copy center, like Fed Ex Office, Staples and Office Depot.

I colored coded each room and it made my move a lot easier.

I chose yellow for the kitchen. I wrote KITCHEN on one piece of yellow paper and taped it to a kitchen cabinet. Then, each box I packed for the kitchen, I wrote the contents on a piece of yellow paper then taped it to the box. When we got to our new house in my new kitchen, I taped a piece of yellow paper to a cabinet.

All boxes with a piece of yellow paper were stacked in the kitchen and I could easily see the lists of contents. It made unpacking a lot easier and I didn't worry about other boxes from other rooms being there.

Each room had a color and on moving day, all boxes were placed in the correct rooms. This comes in handy for yourself, friends, relatives, moving people or anyone else helping you move.
