So what is the House Proud Collective?

October 2, 2025

Helping Aucklanders get their homes ready for sale or a big event

At Less is More, we’ve always believed that a home feels best when it’s cared for, clear, and ready for life’s big moments. Sometimes that moment is a sale. Sometimes it’s a milestone birthday, an anniversary party, or welcoming family from overseas. Whatever the occasion, we love helping people create spaces that feel their best.


That’s why we’re so excited to announce a brand-new collaboration: The House Proud Collective – a partnership between three expert, women-led businesses who share our values of expertise, empathy, and excellence. Together with Wall Treats (painting specialists) and Refresh Renovations (renovation experts), we’re making it simpler than ever for Auckland homeowners and real estate agents to prepare properties for sale – or for celebration. πŸŽ‰


Why We Came Together 🀝

We know from experience that getting a home “ready” can feel overwhelming. From endless decluttering decisions to juggling multiple suppliers, it can quickly turn stressful. So we thought – why not make it easier?


With one point of contact and full project management, our collective offers a seamless, one-stop solution. Whether you’re listing your property, hosting a milestone party, or simply wanting your home to shine, we’ve got the expertise (and energy!) to make it happen.
