LESS IS MORE IN ACTION
Client Feedback
Rachel made a project happen that I'd been thinking about for ages - and kept within my budget. She made all the decisions easy.
After organising the donation of the old furniture and a fun day shopping for new items, she made it all come together on the day (movers, deliveries, picture hanger, electrician). It was a real transformation and I am so happy with my refreshed living rooms.
Helen, Ponsonby
We didn't know where to start with downsizing and the lovely team at Less is More got the ball rolling for us. They were calm and friendly and organised all the donations and rubbish collection.
When we arrived at our new apartment, it was all unpacked, everything fit perfectly, it felt familiar and organised and there were no boxes.
It was such a relief after the stress of moving. Thank you to Rachel and Melissa for making everything easy for us.
Jeremy and Sarah, Glendowie
The team at Less is More can turn their hand to anything! They helped us organise our wardrobes, refresh our bedroom with new paint and curtains, and make a laundry area in our garage. They project managed everything and liaised with all the suppliers, meeting them at our home when we couldn’t be there.
We’re really happy with the results - the new laundry transformed the garage and inspired us to do more decluttering. We would highly recommend them for personalised service.
