Free home inventory checklist

Document what you own before insurance, moving, or estate paperwork makes it urgent.

The fastest home inventory starts with photos, not a spreadsheet. Walk room by room, capture proof first, then fill in the details that matter for claims, moves, appraisals, and family records.

Room-by-room pass

Take wide photos of each room first, then close-ups of valuable or identifiable items. Open drawers, closets, and storage bins. The goal is proof you can reconstruct later.

  • Entryway and coat closet
  • Living room and family room
  • Kitchen, pantry, and dining area
  • Bedrooms, closets, jewelry, and watches
  • Bathrooms and medicine storage
  • Office, computers, and electronics
  • Garage, tools, lawn equipment, and storage bins
  • Basement, attic, and seasonal storage
  • Collectibles, art, instruments, and heirlooms
  • Outdoor furniture, grill, bikes, and sports gear

The 60-minute starter method

1. Photograph first

Do a fast room sweep. Prioritize clear proof over perfect labels.

2. Add high-value details

Electronics, jewelry, tools, appliances, collectibles, and heirlooms get serials, values, and documents.

3. Export and revisit

Keep a PDF/CSV copy and update after major purchases, moves, or renovations.
