List of household items for insurance documentation

A household insurance inventory should start with the items you would struggle to remember, prove, value, or replace after a loss. The list does not need to be perfect on day one. It needs to be useful enough that future you has a clearer record than memory alone.

CasaKeep helps you build that record room by room. Add photos, receipts, values, warranty notes, serial numbers, and location context where they matter. Use this list as a starting point, then adapt it to your actual home.

CasaKeep helps organize documentation, but it does not guarantee claim approval or replace your insurer's instructions.

Electronics and tech

Document laptops, tablets, phones, monitors, TVs, speakers, cameras, lenses, gaming consoles, routers, smart-home hubs, printers, drones, headphones, keyboards, and work equipment.

For electronics, try to capture model numbers, serial numbers, receipts, purchase dates, and photos of the item powered on or in place. These details are hard to reconstruct later.

Appliances and household systems

Document refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, HVAC equipment, water heaters, vacuums, air purifiers, generators, power tools, and specialty appliances.

Add warranty details, serial numbers, repair records, and manuals when you have them. Appliance records can help with insurance, repairs, resale, and home handoff.

Furniture, decor, and valuables

Document sofas, tables, beds, dressers, chairs, rugs, lamps, mirrors, art, antiques, jewelry, watches, collectibles, musical instruments, bikes, tools, sports gear, and hobby equipment.

For high-value or sentimental items, add more detail: photos from multiple angles, condition notes, appraisal details, purchase history, and family context.

Everyday household categories

Do not let ordinary categories stop you. Clothing, shoes, linens, kitchenware, books, toys, seasonal decor, pantry equipment, garage supplies, and storage bins can be documented as grouped records.

Use room-level photos and category notes if individual entries would make the list too overwhelming. You can always add detail later for important items.
