prieSTORY
Slovakia

Hi! We're prieSTORY. Veronika and Barbora.

We met at film school in Bratislava, where we learned to look for the story in everything. A few lifetimes later, we still do, except now the stories happen in your kitchen, your wardrobe, your pantry. We see drama, comedy, and occasionally sci-fi.

We're professional organizers, but we don't just tidy up. We design the way you live in your space. We call it UX organizing. Like a UX designer thinks about how a person moves through an app, we think about how you move through your own home. Your routines, your habits, the small frustrations no one has time to fix.

Then we redesign your space around you, not the other way around. No before-and-after drama. No Pinterest-perfect shelves built for photos, not for life. Just systems that hold up on a Tuesday morning, when you're running late and the baby is crying.

Function first. Beauty follows.

We work as a team of two, two pairs of eyes catch more, four hands work faster. We work with busy families, freelancers and creatives, people in life transitions: moving, a new baby, a new chapter. Anyone tired of fighting their own home. We're discreet. Your past stays yours. No before photos. Ever.

In person across Slovakia and nearby. Online anywhere in the world.

We'd love to hear your story in English or Slovak. Tvoj priestor, tvoj príbeh. Your space, your story.

Specialisms

Home Staging

When a home is going to market, the way it's organized matters as much as the way it looks. We prepare spaces for sale or rental: clearing what no longer belongs, restoring flow to rooms that have lost it, and presenting the home in its most lived-in, honest form. No staging tricks. No props from a catalogue. Just clarity, light, and a space that lets buyers picture their own life inside it.


Personal/family productivity

We're both mothers ourselves, and we know what a family home really looks like at 7am on a Tuesday. We design systems that survive school runs, sticky hands, lost socks, and the constant reshuffling of toys, snacks, and tiny shoes. Children are part of the process when they want to be. Our approach is simple: function first, beauty follows. The kitchen, the wardrobe, the pantry, the playroom, all of it should hold up under real family life, not just look good in photos.


Move Management

Most of our clients come to us during a transition: a move into a new home, a baby on the way, a fresh start after separation, the slow work of clearing a parent's belongings. We help with the practical side (sorting, packing, unpacking, designing the new space) and the emotional side too. We don't rush, we don't judge, and we work at your pace. Our goal is a space that feels like home from day one, not weeks later.


Selling Unwanted Items (e.g. eBay)

Sustainability runs through everything we do. When clients are ready to part with things, we don't just bag them up for landfill. We sort by what can be sold, donated, or rehomed, and we maintain a network of trusted local charities and circular initiatives across Slovakia.

We also keep our own small storage space, where we run a quiet circular programme of our own. Items that didn't quite fit one client, especially organizers, baskets, and storage pieces that were the wrong size or shape, often find a perfect home with the next one. We never push these on anyone, but when something matches, we know it will be used and loved. We also do small DIY adjustments, customizing existing pieces to fit a client's exact need, instead of buying something new just because the original wasn't perfect.

For higher-value items we help connect clients with the right resale channels. The goal is the same as the rest of our work: clarity for the client, dignity for the things, and as little waste as possible.


I was so glad when the prieSTORY girls launched. Between work and small kids I never have time to make our home calm or to reorganize the spaces where small things have piled up over the years. They helped me with everything. First we sorted and thought through a careful system, and then I received an email link to the things that not only fit but I also genuinely loved. They saved me a huge amount of time, and the result is worth it. I enjoy looking at it every single day. Mirka, Bratislava (Originally posted on Google Maps in Slovak, translated for APDO.)
A service that goes beyond "tidying up." It's a life change, a reset. I now have a healthier wardrobe and finding and putting away clothes is so much simpler. They also fully reorganized our kids' room, which gave us more space, and clarity, ha. But what struck me most is that their approach and way of thinking about home organization carried over into everything I do. Even the way I now put away groceries. Highly recommend.

Amazing! Such a small thing, such a big deal! The girls are incredibly warm and skilled. They come up with ideas you'd never think of yourself. They redesigned our kitchen, especially the pantry. We've been living with it for over a year now and it works beautifully. It made our life easier, but also our minds. Thank you.
