My home organisation services buy you calm and order - you’re buying back some time.
Life can be busy, and nothing beats the simple pleasure of coming home to a calm, inviting home. If you’re not feeling it - your hallway is full of shoes, not the fresh flowers you love, your wardrobe organisation is getting in the way of putting together outfits easily in the morning, or if you’re feeling overwhelmed with the stuff in your home and need a hand - my services can help. Just a little time spent working together can save you a lot of time, and help bring a little more calm and clarity to your home and your life.
The process…
More time for yourself and the things you love most in life. It doesn’t have to be Insta-worthy, it just has to work for you.
-
I’ll liaise with you in a short 10 minute phone or video call (you choose) to get clear on what you’re looking for.
-
At a time that suits you, I’ll come to you to see and hear more about your space, what’s weighing on your mind, and what your priorities are. This will take us 45 minutes. I work in and around central Wellington.
-
I’ll put together a plan setting out the spaces you want to tackle, based on what you want to achieve for your lifestyle. This can be just a simple declutter of a cupboard or a room that’s stressing you out, or it might be your whole home or garage. You’re in charge.
I’ll provide a basic plan free of charge. This plan will cover the spaces we’ll work on and the number of hours we need at my hourly rate. I offer 3 or 5 hour packages, or a bespoke package just for you.
For more complex areas where time is needed for detailed design or sourcing products beyond what you already have, I’ll let you know before we go any further. This time will be charged at my hourly rate.
Once you’re happy with the plan, I’ll send you my terms of service to sign, and we’re good to go.
-
I’ll make a time (or a series of times) to come to your place to do the work we’ve agreed. We can work together to declutter, or if you’re comfortable you can leave it all to me to work with your guidance. There’s no judgement and nothing will ever be removed without your consent.
I’ll take away for recycling or donation any small amounts of goods that you no longer love. I’m committed to finding them new homes (for clothing and household goods), or appropriate recycling (for cardboard, paper, and plastics).
For large volumes of rubbish or recycling, we can discuss collection options (note that this may incur additional cost).
-
You relax, enjoy your home just a little more and the extra time you how have. You might check out my ‘buying time’ blog for more ideas.
If you need me to come back again to refresh the space, or to tackle another area, you have my number.

The pricing
I’ll tailor a package for you that suits your individual needs and budget. For small spaces, like pantries, laundries and wardrobes, I recommend a 3-hour package. For larger spaces, such as kitchens, bedrooms or garage, a 5-hour package works well.
I’ll make it work for you, and I always leave behind a little Olive Organising gift scent to help keep your spaces fresh.

Kind Words
“My apartment has limited storage. Cheryl’s thoughtful organisation of the laundry has successfully maximised the storage that is available. Cheryl has also made it much easier for us to access what we are looking for and brought a sense of calm to what was a messy and underutilised space. In addition, visually, it looks great. I will absolutely be getting Cheryl back to sort out my pantry!”
