The Global Collector: Perfect for those who seek access to highly bespoke, globally sourced finishes and furniture that exist beyond the standard retail or trade landscape.
The Accountability Seeker: For those who desire a single point of truth from initial concept through to final styling, ensuring that design intent is never lost in translation during the third-party planning or construction phases.

Latitude Jewellers, Pia Boschetti, Geraldton, WA
"When we first purchased our historical premises, our dream was to bring back the old-world charm while creating a jewellery showroom that felt truly unique. Minted Elevated Living not only fulfilled this brief, they far exceeded our expectations. We now consider this showroom one of the most beautiful stores we have ever seen, and almost everyone who walks in comments on how special it feels.
Tess and her team acted as true 'vision stewards,' guiding the project so the final result would be world-class, not just standard. They listened carefully to our ideas and then elevated them beyond what we could have imagined. This was a complex renovation with many bespoke elements, yet Minted managed these details seamlessly without losing momentum.
What impressed us most was how easy they made the entire process. Their transparency, honesty, and genuine care for the outcome gave us complete confidence throughout the project. Thanks to Minted Elevated Living, we truly feel we have found our forever home for Latitude Jewellers. The space honours the past while creating an unforgettable experience for our customers, and we could not be happier. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a truly outstanding result."

Mardi Stanich, Pingrup, WA
We worked with Tess and her team completely remotely on the major interior and exterior renovation of our Pingrup Homestead. From the very first response from Tess, I knew that involving Minted was going to ensure we achieved a space we loved, eliminating regrets. Tess' design process fully respected our lifestyle goals and budget. Anyone can be presented with an amazing concept that has all the bells and whistles, but the reality is, this may not be achievable within budget.
Now we have completed the renovation, I'm so glad I trusted the remote process, as engaging Tess and her Minted team was the best decision we made throughout the entire renovation. Minted prioritised our needs and created realistic concepts, allowing us to fall in love with spaces we could achieve.
Not once did they question our choices, but instead offered advice and ideas of how we could achieve the best outcome within our budget. I can't recommend Tess and her team highly enough. Plus, they're great people- so the journey was fun- WIN-WIN!

Georgina Lester, Manypeaks WA
Thank you Tess, Indi and the Minted Elevated Living team. An incredible experience from start to finish! I received the most thoughtful and personalised styling advice, tailored perfectly to my space and style. The Minted service was accessible and warm, even as a regional client—distance was never an issue. Every piece recommended was elevated, stylish, and of the highest quality.
What really stood out was the collaborative approach: mood boards, detailed discussions, and genuine listening made the process feel effortless and inspiring. The result is a beautifully curated space that I had imagined, I know our guests at Betty’s Beach House will love the space we have created. Couldn’t recommend more!

Minted Elevated Living were such a pleasure to work with in the designing of our new home. We had a set of plans for our major renovation but felt they needed some finishing touches and had loved what they had created for other renovations over the years. We could really tell they had listened carefully to what was important to us as a family and have provided us with a unique design that just really brought together the feel and vibe we wanted to create in our home. The final designs and hard finishes supplied by Minted more than exceeded our expectations. We are so very happy and excited to see the beautiful and dynamic spaces Minted Elevated Living have created come to life.

Without Tess' amazing help we would not have the stunning kitchen we have today. Tess and her team listened carefully to what we both had to say and wanted and created three great designs for us to choose from. Their responsiveness, professionalism and guidance throughout the whole project from start to finish was impeccable. Would happily recommend them!

Vanessa & Paul Patience, Amplify Marketing, Geraldton WA
We've worked with Tess and the Minted team on both residential and commercial projects. Tess took the time to understand our vision, lifestyle, and (for our commercial project) our brand. They have the ability to blend aesthetics with functionality, resulting in spaces that not only look stunning but also feel incredibly liveable (or workable). Throughout our projects, communication was seamless and they navigated challenges and tight deadlines with poise. Their attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our designs were thoughtfully considered. Their genuine passion for their craft is evident from the initial consultation. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Tess and her team to anyone seeking a creative and professional design service.

Sharon & Paddy Barber, Esperance
Working with Tess has been a delight. As we are first time builders and our home will be our forever home, we've invested in Minted Elevated Living to ensure we have access to an architectural interior design service. Each time a new room design is revealed we are amazed at the level of detail and design that is put into each zone.
Although we are in different regions of the state, we've always felt connected to Tess and the Minted Elevated Team via email, Zoom or face-to-face. We can't wait to begin our build in 2024 and see it all come together. Tess and the team have given us the confidence that our vision will be brought to life beautifully.

Mel & Dan Eynon, Dumbleyung
My husband and I engaged with Tess and her team to plan our home renovations. We utilised the Blueprint Session and then accepted a project proposal offered by Tess to design our renovations.
The way in which our ideas were able to be transformed into hard copy designs specific to our house and the area where we live was amazing. The spaces are now functional and timeless. We cannot recommend Tess and Minted Elevated Living highly enough. Thank you

The Minted team were super friendly, efficient and easy to deal with. I had been wanting to update our outdoor living areas and facade for quite a while, but just could not work out how best to tackle the project. Taking into account our farm environment and lifestyle, Tess and her team give us the inspiration and design we were looking for.

Minted Elevated Living provided a landscape design for our heritage home in the middle of town. Their service was professional and timely and the design they provided was lovely.

Kerry Armstrong, Greenough
Tess and Indi have created an outdoor living space for our 150 year old home that combines a contemporary livable landscape with atmosphere, while celebrating the rich history of the property. We now have a plan that brings the best of both old and new together. The two areas blend seamlessly by the use of colour, material and plant selection. The lighting plan and 'fly through' takes the whole project to the next level. It is so satisfying to look at. LOVE LOVE LOVE your work ladies.

Janesca Lewis, Beresford
We used Elevated Minted Design to help design and style several indoor and outdoor spaces in our home and we've been beyond happy with the results. Our space is magazine stunning, yet cosy and liveable. Tess really 'understood' our style aesthetic and managed to present ideas that meshed with our likes and dislikes, while still delivering creative concepts that incorporated cultural references, and made the final results much more luxe, fresh, and interesting that I could have ever managed on my own. Tess is very professional, responsive and an an absolute blast to work with. She can be relied upon to meet her commitments, and does it all in a really cost-effective way. In both projects, Tess demonstrated her outstanding knowledge of a diverse variety of styles, aesthetics and techniques that she brought together to create a space with a really distinctive feel. I've recommended Tess to several friends and am already thinking about what she can help us with next.
PORTFOLIO COMMISSION FAQs
-
In the traditional design world, you usually have to choose: you hire a landscape designer for the ‘outside’, an architect for the ‘structure’ and an interior designer for the ‘inside.’ Often, these professional visions never truly meet, and the client is left to bridge the gap in logistics and supply themselves.
Minted Elevated Living is, to our knowledge, the only regional firm in Australia providing a completely seamless, high-spec integration of Interior Design, Landscape Design, build and renovation concept design and global product procurement.
We don’t believe your lifestyle stops at the glass doors. That’s why we technically specify and supply integrations like a 10-meter outdoor built-in garden sofa (see our Santorini Landscape Project) with the same ergonomic and durability rigour and specifications as the custom interior sofa we personally design for your lounge room. It’s why we source one-off pieces like a Moroccan Selenite chandelier to hang in an outdoor courtyard and develop design specifications to create white rendered arches fabricated from local boat metal.
By owning the entire process—from micro-millimeter technical diagrams to the actual supply, on-site independant design specification consulting and styling of bespoke global pieces—we remove the regional barriers to elevated living. We provide a level of curated, end-to-end stewardship that was previously only available in major global cities, bringing it home to the places that deserve it most.
-
Minted operates on a residency-based model to ensure the absolute integrity of our artisanal partnerships. By synchronising our commissions into "Intakes," we allow our collective houses to focus exclusively on our projects for a dedicated window. This guarantees that your pieces aren't just "ordered," but are crafted within a focused period of artisanal excellence.
-
Exclusivity requires time. To maintain the uncompromised level of detail required for a Portfolio Commission, we only accept a limited number of new architectural partnerships each intake round. This ensures that Tess and our design and curation team can provide the deep, focused attention your home deserves.
-
The luxury of the Minted experience is its adaptability. We will explore the scope of your vision initially in your briefing information. Whether you require a holistic Portfolio Commission or a singular architectural anchor via our Curations, we tailor the process to your project’s specific rhythm.
-
Yes - we complete between 1-3 state tours each year to visit client properties with projects in construction across various regional areas of Australia. We also host exclusive Minted client events bringing our like minded clients together across regions.
-
The creation of a landmark interior or landscape is a deliberate process. The journey from commission to final install and styling is dependant on the professional team you engage spanning from a few months to two years, depending on your builder schedule.
-
A Minted Commission is a total property activation. We don’t just ‘landscape’ or ‘decorate’; we partner with visionary regional clients to build Lifetime Memory Vaults. This often involves a multi-year journey—from initial architectural build plans and technical landscape specifications to full-scale interior renovations and ongoing lifestyle stewardship.
-
We trade in precision. Our team produces scaled, photo-realistic 3D visuals and technical elevation diagrams referenced to the micro-millimeter. This rigor ensures that the transition from a 2D dream to a 3D reality is flawless. We don’t believe in "good enough" for the regions; we believe in intentionality that delivers ultimate connection and comfort, lifestyle gains and aesthetic longevity.
-
We are resourceful problem-solvers. We don’t micromanage; we collaborate. We provide supportive design resources that empower regional trades to achieve elements they may have never attempted before—like custom boat-metal arches or specialised stone installs. We act as an ‘honest broker’ between you and the project team, solving technical hurdles on the fly to keep the momentum of your build moving.
-
We bridge the gap between global artisans and local ingenuity. For our Minted Santorini portfolio commission, we curated procured bespoke tiles from Italy, handmade Zellige from Morocco, and crystal chandeliers from Marrakesh, while utilising local boat-metal fabricators, reclaimed regional timbers and our WA made upholsterer partner. We use our Minted Network Leverage built over decades to ensure quality control and priority delivery, even in remote locations.
-
Our relationship doesn’t end when the furniture arrives. We stay for the ‘coffee and gardening’ phase. Our portfolio commission clients are lifetime relationships we support to nurture the garden and the home as they grow, ensuring the lifestyle we designed together is fully realised over time. From phased full scale renovation stages executed years a part, to multi property projects, room refreshes and regular furnishing updates - our portfolio commission clients form a treasured part of our Minted community for a lifetime.
-
Because we understand the regional challenges. We know that building a world-class home in a remote area requires grit, intuition, and a massive amount of logistical leverage. When you commission Minted, you aren't just hiring a designer; you are joining a movement of people who refuse to settle. You are making a resounding vote of confidence in the beauty and economic value of regional living.
