Free your space, free your mind
Bespoke decluttering, home organisation, house clearance and the Scandinavian concept of ‘death cleaning’
Compassionate Spacemakers
At Lighter Spaces we can help you sort and clear your belongings, helping you create a ‘lighter space’ both mentally and physically.
Decluttering to free up your home
We can help you sort, clear and reorganise your home. We always endeavour to have items removed in a sustainable way, and will try to reuse, donate, repurpose or sell where possible.
Home editing for downsizing
Helping you to identify your most precious possessions for your new life stage and repurpose or donate items you no longer need.
Clearing a deceased estate
Sensitive support to sort and clear a relative’s home. This may include cataloguing the contents, liaising with relatives, organising valuations, and organising removals.
Preparing a property for sale
Helping to tidy and clear unwanted items and stage the property with either new or existing homewares to make your property attractive to buyers and maximise its value.
What we do
Our homes are an important reflection of who we are, where we’ve been, and our families and friends. Consequently, they fill and grow as we move through life, becoming a very personal and loved accumulation of books, toys, furniture, décor, technology and inherited items. However, sometimes the sheer quantity of our belongings can become mentally and physically overwhelming and can prevent us from achieving our goals, whether that’s repurposing the existing space, moving home or starting a new venture.
Our services
- Practical guidance on valuations
- Arrange for the sale of items
- Restore and repair furniture
- Remove items sustainably
At Lighter Spaces we provide sensitive, practical and knowledgeable support to help you sort and clear your home. Whilst letting go of possessions can be emotional, it is also hugely cathartic and rewarding. It’s a process of selecting the items that reflect your identity and hold important memories and removing or gifting the ones that you no longer need or want. For many it provides a positive opportunity to reflect and reevaluate, giving a platform to move onto the next life stage.
Döstädning
Döstädning, or the art of death cleaning, is an increasingly popular Swedish phenomenon by which those later in life set their affairs in order in a timely way before retiring, moving to a smaller home or a care home to ease stress for their families later. Originally, it referred to the elderly but more recently, it has become a method started earlier as people’s circumstances change. Whether it’s sorting the family heirlooms from the junk or setting up a system to help you stop misplacing your keys, Döstädning, is a way to organise and declutter your home making life as comfortable and stress-free as possible for you and your family now and in the future.
