Stop paying for things your home never needed.
From the kitchen to the bathroom, the front door to the long dark winter — every room, every season, one simple way of living.
Norwegian homes are usually smaller than American ones and have fewer closets, yet everything has somewhere to go. That’s not because Norwegians are tidier people. It’s because the house is set up so that putting things away is easier than leaving them out.
I lived in an American house in Minneapolis for thirteen years and broke nearly every one of these rules. In this video I go through the eleven organisation rules almost every Norwegian home follows, and how you can borrow each one this weekend without buying anything new.
In this video:
Hooks instead of hangers (knagger)
Everyone has their own place (egen plass)
Bulky things live outside the house (the bod)
Every key in one small cabinet (nøkkelskap)
Keep the floor free (fritt gulv)
The tool wall (verktøyvegg)
A day backpack packed by the door (tursekk)
Almost no paper (digital postkasse)
Rotate the toys (bytte leker)
Sell things on the same day
Tidy first, buy storage last (rydd først)
Bonus: one drawer a week, and label everything
Which rule would make the biggest difference in your house? Tell me in the comments. I read them all.

That’s the Norwegian way.
