Many of us have made space for a temporary home office in the kitchen, living room or hallway. It now seems likely that we will be working from home more often than in the past. Almost 1 million Swedes say they would like to carry on working remotely every now and then, even after the pandemic.
A well-assorted and carefully-planned wardrobe will save time, energy and money. Looking after and making your clothes last longer is also good from a sustainability standpoint. The storage company Elfa has teamed up with fashion journalist and sustainability expert Emma Elwin to give you tips on the best way to organise your wardrobe.

Plenty of outerwear, jackets, shoes, and accessories to manage in the hallway. Sound familiar? Well, here’s how Jannice Wistrand, interior design blogger, brought order to her family hallway and made the entrance inviting, practical and easy to keep tidy.
Storage is taking up an ever larger part of our homes. Today, some 10 per cent of our living space is used for storing clothes and belongings. That’s a space worth almost SEK 800,000 for the average central Stockholm home, as a report from Elfa reveals.

The ongoing debate on climate change is having a major impact on consumption habits in Sweden. But it is affecting women and men differently.
