Simple Living in the Nordics (Downsizing, Minimalism, Decluttering)

[@calmnordic]

How are you? 🌿 Decluttering has been a big part of our downsizing journey, but now we're ready to move to the next stage. Of course decluttering is a continuous process, but I feel the next stage for us is to design a low-maintenance space that’s still cozy. I’m excited to explore how to balance minimalism with warmth and comfort! 🏠✨

This calm music and insightful quotes are much more inspiring and motivating to me than those sped up cleaning videos with frenzied loud music.

I'm so happy to hear that! 😊 Thank you!

Your city looks so clean and graffiti free. What a wonderful atmosphere to live in. Your entry way drop off shelf is such a good idea to keep your home tidy. Enjoy all of your postings.

Thank you for this lovely video (and some Helsinki sights). I like the comment that you made about designing your home around existing habits. I think it is helpful to examine your daily routines and potential “clutter hot spots” in order to make your home more accommodating and cozy. ❤❤

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'm very glad you enjoyed the video and the Helsinki sights! 😊 I've found it challenging to change my own habits, let alone trying to change those of others. That's why I like the idea of working with the habits we already have rather than against them. ❤

Such an old beautiful city. My grandfather was born in & lived in Helsinki in the late 1800’s-1900’s, so has always been on my bucket list. We are death cleaning now to make way in a calmer environment. Thank you for the stroll love, Cheers

We are about to move house and are also in the process of decluttering a lot of our belongings. We are also moving into a smaller apartment and are a bit worried about how our stuff will fit in the new place. I love the Finnish culture and lifestyle, I wish I was born there. You have such wonderful innovations. I hope I can visit it one day. Your videos are very inspirational. The sights of Helsinki were lovely. ❤

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Moving can be such a big task, especially when downsizing. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the Helsinki sights! Finnish culture does have some wonderful elements, and I hope you get the chance to experience it firsthand one day. Best of luck with your move! 🌟

Thank you for sharing your beautiful city and country with us (from the U.S.), although I did miss Kuro in this video. :)
