Making the room tidy.
Contexte culturel
Finns value 'oma rauha' (own peace). Cleaning one's room is seen as creating a sanctuary for this peace. The 'Siivouspäivä' event in May and August turns the whole country into a flea market. Minimalism is a strong trend in Finnish interior design, making 'siivota huone' easier but more frequent.
