Every once in a while a new trend comes along in the minimalism space that shakes things up and makes people re-examine their lives. One of the recent newcomers is the idea of Swedish Death Cleaning. Don’t worry. It’s not as morbid as it sounds. In fact, it could be one of the best ways for sentimental people to declutter their belongings. At the heart of the trend is the idea that you want to make life easier for your loved ones when you die instead of leaving them with a house filled with crap that you, yourself didn’t really care about. It’s also a lovely way to pass on things you love to people you love - as long as they are useful and wanted by the recipient.
