Who is the Home Inventory poster for?

Home Inventory belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning home can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Home Inventory poster?

Photograph every room once a year. It takes ten minutes and settles insurance claims. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Home Inventory belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Home Inventory?

Cleaning a Room, Cleaning Products and Decluttering sit alongside Home Inventory in the Practical skills section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.

Is the Home Inventory poster free to download and print?

Yes. Home Inventory downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Practical skills section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.

What size does the Home Inventory poster print at?

Home Inventory is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Home Inventory loses nothing.
