Organise your house move

Colour-coded boxes for every room

For most people, moving house could hardly be described as fun. One really practical way to avoid a whole load of chaos is to clearly label your boxes. One brilliant tip is to draw a rough plan of your new home and colour-code each of the rooms. When packing up your things, you can then mark each box with the relevant colour. With their bold colours, the easy-to-use permanent markers from edding are the perfect tools for the job. By the way: the barrel of the edding 3000 is now made from recycled aluminium.

Step-by-step

Step 1

edding permanent markers come in a wide range of vibrant shades. All you need to do is pick your favourites!

Step 2

Start by using a permanent marker to draw out the floor plan of your new home on your sheet of paper. Make sure you include every individual room so that your boxes can be delivered to exactly the right destination later on.

Step 3

Next, simply use your permanent markers to shade each room (use a different colour for each one). If you like, you could even add a little message to your floor plan such as "Thanks a lot" or "Thanks a ton".
