Architectural lighting design for considered homes

LIGHTING DESIGN IS A PROCESS THAT CREATES THE BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT FOR YOUR HOME USING THE RIGHT LIGHT FITTINGS FOR YOUR AESTHETIC AND BUDGET.

— Adele Locke

WHAT WE DO

Every home deserves beautiful light

Good lighting supports the way you live in your home. It brings comfort to everyday spaces and allows architecture and interiors to be experienced as they were intended.

At MINT Lighting Design, we create residential architectural lighting designs that are carefully planned and tailored to each home. We consider how light is layered, where it is placed, and how it changes throughout the day, so your home feels balanced and resolved from morning through to night.

Our designs favour discreet light fixtures and thoughtful placement. The result is light that enhances mood and visual interest, and spaces that feel calm, functional, and intentional after dark.

When you work with MINT, you engage us for clear advice and considered ideas grounded in experience. We provide a complete lighting design package, including documentation, specifications, and budget guidance, so your lighting can be confidently implemented on site, whether we support your project from early planning through to completion or provide a clear concept for you to develop further.

Our process guides you through from ???? to the lighting design of your dreams with our team providing the technical know how, creativity and experience to make that light your reality.

    — Andrew Dwyer, Home Owner

  • We contacted Adele during Melbourne's covid lockdown period and she was able to help us over zoom. She made what seemed to us a daunting task absolutely effortless. Her knowledge of lighting styles and effects was just what we needed. [...]

    — Julie Worth, Home Owner

  • Adele at Mint lighting was a pleasure to do business with. The whole process was so easy. And Adele was always available to take questions from my builders. In the end I got the look that I wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mint lighting again.

    — Jennifer Stanley, Home Owner

  • Adele asks all the right questions, listens carefully and then proceeds to lay out a lighting design plan on the spot. Not only that, Adele will demonstrate and explain different lighting effects inside her very well equipped lighting studio, and show examples of how a considered lighting design can create the right atmosphere in your home.
