ABOUT MINT LIGHTING DESIGN

Architectural lighting design for homes

that feels considered, calm, and complete

You can feel when a home has been lit with intention and care.
Rooms feel balanced. The mood shifts naturally through the day. Evenings feel warmer and quieter.

At MINT Lighting Design, we specialise in residential architectural lighting design for homes, helping you move beyond a ceiling full of downlights to lighting that supports the way you live, highlights your architecture, and brings your home to life after dark.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, we work with homeowners, architects, interior designers, builders, and electricians on residential projects locally and abroad. When you work with a professional lighting designer from MINT, you can expect a custom lighting design that is layered, considered, functional, and quietly beautiful.

Lighting that feels right, because it has been carefully planned from the start.

About MINT

RESIDENTIAL LIGHTING DESIGN SERVICES

architectural lighting design that supports the way you live IN YOUR HOME

When lighting has been properly considered, a home feels easier to live in. Spaces are comfortable at any time of day. Features are highlighted without effort, and rooms transition naturally from bright and functional to calm and atmospheric as evening sets in.

Our residential lighting design services focus on achieving this balance through thoughtful planning and the benefit of experience. Every MINT lighting design responds to the architecture of your home, how each space is used, and the atmosphere you want to create throughout the day and night.

With over 20 years of experience across over 1,200 home lighting designs, our team brings creative clarity and technical understanding to every project. This depth of experience allows us to design lighting that is both beautiful and practical, and straightforward to build.

Through our architectural lighting design consultancy, we work closely with you and your construction team to ensure a clear, well-considered lighting plan can be confidently implemented in your home. The result is layered, functional light that enhances your interiors and architecture, and makes considered use of your lighting budget.

  • Adele, since having you design the lighting for our house we all have a greater appreciation of lighting and ‘living’ with light. We are so grateful for the lighting design you did for us.
