IN OUR CLIENTS' WORDS
Melbourne homeowners, in their own words.
From a custom-built home in Brighton East to a family home in Blackburn and a refurbishment in Caroline Springs.
“Yamini has an eye for detail, good taste and offers both options – classic, lasting styles and is always bang on trend. She helped plan and design our custom built home in Brighton and I am very grateful.”
Ritika Walia
Homeowner · Brighton East, VIC
“Overall was a seamless and extremely professional experience dealing with Mini Design Group. They understood our needs, brought in great thinking and advice to match what would we need as a family. Very practical, reasonable and tasteful designs and selections for us. Highly recommend them for your home solutions and designing!”
S Kalra
Homeowner · Blackburn, VIC
“We needed help with our floorboard and furniture selection as a part of our home refurbishment. Yamini was simply amazing! She took the stress away from selection of furniture and matching colours of our flooring and decor, and provided us excellent options that suited our taste. She also helped us get a really good deal on the whole lot. I highly recommend this business – extremely professional with the personal touch you would want!”

What a well-designed home feels like
A home that feels calm, cohesive and easy to live in.
Whether you're building new, extending or refreshing the home you have, you want the decisions made well the first time. Here's what Melbourne homeowners tell us they want:
- Classic, lasting styles that are still bang on trend
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes that all work together
- Excellent options that suit your taste
- Practical, reasonable and tasteful designs for the whole family
- A professional experience with the personal touch
We deliver that by starting with how you use each room, then showing you the design with mood boards and 3D renders before anything is ordered.
