Whether you are mentally feeling stuck or dealing with disorganization too overwhelming to handle alone, knowing where to begin can be a daunting task.

We service San Diego County, Los Angeles County, and Orange County.
Let go. Let In.
Clutter makes our lives feel chaotic and stuck. Letting go of objects that no longer have a purpose (nor bring us joy) opens us up to new possibilities and inspires movement in our lives - whether it be in our careers, our relationships, or our creative endeavors.
We work with you to begin this process of letting go and determining what still works for your life right now. Our organizers are non judgmental and will go at a pace you are comfortable with.
A home can be full of life and things you cherish, but with everything in it's right place and unwanted things discarded, there will be a natural conscious order to it all. You will be left with a house and a life where things are functioning effortlessly. You will love all you own and where you once felt stuck you can now feel free and harmonious.
A WAY OF LIFE.
Organization is a way of life. Once you experience the feeling of freedom and ease that a clutter free lifestyle can bring you, there's no going back.
We believe that the fastest way to a life where you flourish, thrive and prosper, is first through your physical environment. From there your inner world naturally starts to transform.
When you open up space around you, it's easy to become inspired to take better care of yourself in the ways you have always wanted.
Sustainability.
It's a goal for us to find a new home for as much of your old stuff as possible. We take an extra effort to give to local non profits and properly recycle as many items as we can.
We also try to keep as much trash out of landfills as possible. We work with drop-off and collection centers in LA to properly dispose of materials such as hazardous and electronic waste.
With a clean slate, you are now ready to be very selective about what comes into your home. It will naturally become easier to be a conscious consumer and our planet and the future generations will thank you.
Moving the gentle way
Most clients are stressed and greatly burdened by the big project of moving.
We have helped many clients pack and get ready for a move in the least stressful and most gentle way possible. Especially elderly clients find a traditional fast paced aggressive move to be a very traumatic ordeal. We can make it a completely different experience by working with the client over a longer period where they get to feel they truly have everything under control.
Then after the move we can make sure you are completely setup and organized on the first day so you can get settled in your new home and your life back on track as fast as possible.
ABOUT Lighter & Brighter
ANDRE SCHNYDER
André is the founder of Lighter and Brighter and is born and raised in Sweden. He got his organizing skills from watching his stay-at-home mother care for his family's completely clutter free tidy home. It became a natural instinct to always keep a tidy and organized space around him. Similarly his handyman skills came from observing and helping his father handle all maintenance needed. As a lifelong visual artist André has a great natural understanding of spacial placement, organization, design, color and beauty. André has an immense passion for his work and as he says himself "It is the most rewarding and exhilarating feeling to see the magic happen when you help a client transform their space into something they dream of it to be". He has a calm and a presence that helps clients feel that they are in very good hands leading them through the organizing process in the least stressful way. André lives in Southern California with his family.
Lighter & Brighter is true to their name. Andre was fantastic to work with. I did call other people and got a few estimates but really felt like L&B was a good choice and boy they did not disappoint. Let me start with our garage, it was a looming disaster that continued to grow and get out of control. We finally decided it was time to get it cleaned out and organized. I gave Andre a call and got it scheduled. I really felt comfortable as he explained exactly his process, which was in line to what we had been reading about organizing. Take everything out and then sort through it. Andre and his crew came last week and went straight to business. What I thought was going to take hours of removing all the stuff in the garage, they had it done quickly and efficiently. It was going to be a long day. We sifted through all our stuff, and being in a purging state of mind, we tallied up about 4 to 5 car loads to go to goodwill/salvation army, and quite a load that filled out 2 trash bins, recycle bin and still had a load for bulk pick up with the city. Andre also came back the next day to do some final reset/re-organization of what was left over from the day before. I feel like a gorilla has been lifted off my back. L&B's professionalism shone through and made a difference, in what would have taken us months to do. I can't provide enough praise and gratitude to Lighter & Brighter for helping us get this monumental task completed by the end of the year and giving us a fresh start to 2019. I would not hesitate to recommend Lighter & Brighter to you all.

Hey Folks, I just wanted to endorse Andre here. We had him over for 3 days, and it feels like he's taken 10 years off our lives in terms of the mental mortgage we were carrying in moving our junk around from one home to another, without actually needing any of it. Highly recommend his Professional Organizing services - great guy, flexible, friendly, and WORTH IT.
Raj Nallapothola, Woodland Hills
I highly recommend Andre as a super-accountable professional home organizer who listened very closely to my needs during our interview. After a recent move to a much smaller space, my home office renovation had overwhelmed me and I am so grateful to have met Andre who relieved the stress of this move and project.
I know I can trust him to accomplish my project quickly and smoothly with his friendly,creative. and easy going style. He manifests very positive and creative energy and doable ideas when he did my estimate, and also offers very competitive rates. We are working together on a project to organize my home office, and Andre has been very accountable with his response to my questions and ideas. Andre is also a photographer, and his top-of-the line aesthetics are obvious when we work together.

If you need someone who will stand by you and help with clearing out 15+ years of accumulated "stuff" --- and make you feel like you are doing something positive for the world while you're at it, Andre is your person! He's truly amazing - he and his staff are professionals who care about preserving your memories and what's truly important to you, while still helping you to let go of items you probably no longer really need. I feel so much lighter mentally and physically because of them. We will be sure to call on them again when we make our next and hopefully final move. Thank you!

Andre is nothing short of fantastic. He got into places which I think are gross and may house scary spiders. Without a blink, he went in and made everything in there beautiful in the time it took me to make a coffee. Within a few hours he removed clutter from my full long driveway, organized my large storage shed, removed an entire chopped up tree from my yard, a lot of old furniture and intelligently organized my storage room and some kitchen cabinets, book shelves and a pantry. He works, fast, hard and smart. Endless energy and a nice, gentle, positive man! Thank you Andre! I walk through my house and outside of my house now on purpose just to glance at the beautiful space and nothingness you've created out of a big mess!
Laura S, Malibu
Andre is amazing; he is timely and works fast. He organized my garage in just a few hours and utilized all my own storage so I didn't have to purchase anything new. Very happy with his services and I would highly recommend him.
Mona Dutt, Woodland Hills
Lighter and Brighter brought the sun back to my life. André was amazing. He helped me walk into my closet again, it was filled with clutter. He also helped me organize and downsize my storage. I can not believe I had junk from 10 yes I said ten years ago. He did not judge me and he was really easy to work with. Thank you Lighter Brighter for saving my organizational life.

Andre has been a lifesaver. He helped us prepare our house to be rented and did a beautiful job. His attention to detail and his aesthetic eye were invaluable. We asked him to help with a variety of tasks and he was so thorough and organized about carefully taking care of each one. I highly recommend him for anyone needing help organizing, staging a house, or simply just wanting a highly responsible person to help out with your house.

Hello Everyone, this was my 1st time ever hiring a professional to help me style my house. My goal is to stage my home for sale. I was in fashion retail and I consider myself having great taste & originally only wanted Andre to come for 2 hours for a quick walk through. But when he came, we worked for 10 hours. My home now feels complete and stylized. Specifically, Andre re-arranged my furniture to open the space up; found places for my art that hightlighted each piece. He was also a "project manager"-- he saw that I needed plants & furniture and he helped me look for the right pieces. It was also convenient and less expensive to hire Andre to pick these things up rather than hiring a delivery service. His work could be all encompassing if you want him to do so.
I remember debating if I should hire Andre or ask a good friend to come help me rearrange my home. I decided to hire Andre because I would get his design aesthetics. But I got more than that, he helped fix things and he made the project seamless. And I appreciate how he pursue his work: focused, relentless, solution oriented and very easy to get along. Once my home is sold, I am hiring Andre again because he will make my new home look great with the same pieces of furniture. He is more than an organizer, I hire him to style my home.
Phuong Pham, Topanga
Andre is wonderful to work with. Calm, friendly, focused, intuitive and most importantly, effective. He did a beautiful job organizing a small but very cluttered and disorganized space in our home. The result is both more aesthetically pleasing and functional. It is amazing the impact of having a well thought out and organized space on your psyche and daily rhythm. If I could fit it into our budget I would hire him in a heartbeat to reorganize and declutter our entire home. Highly recommend him for your home and business projects big and small.
