Testimonials

"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." - Leigh and Laurence, Remuera

"I couldn’t have done it without Melissa and Rachel, they worked so incredibly hard with maximum efficiency and planning. I came home on the afternoon of my moving day and my kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were ready to use. With one more day’s work they had unpacked every box and put everything away, as well as hung some of my favourite photos and art. They were easy and great fun to work with and very respectful of my home. I am so very grateful. My family enjoyed the experience also – a hard chore become a great adventure. They went beyond the call of duty getting my wretched new skybox functioning - absolutely brilliant". – Linzi, Glendowie
