Look what our Clients have to Say:

Dear David & Fiona,
I just wanted to write a quick note to thank you for the furniture we received last week. Your team were fantastic to work with, from beginning to the delivery.
When we came in we didn’t know what we wanted but the lovely girls guided us through the process of selecting the right furniture for our home. We had a few pieces of existing furniture that we loved so it was important that we kept them and this was not a problem for your team. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome and we could never have been able to achieve it by ourselves. Everyone who comes to our home is amazed how different it is and we are very pleased with the outcome. Thankyou all once again for a wonderful experience. Slee Family, Nedlands
“I love Minkz’ presentation and the way the store is laid out. It is a very inviting showroom. I never ever want to leave the store when I get in there. I always find new products and so many wonderful ideas.
The best thing about my Minkz interior design experience was that I didn’t have to worry or stress about anything. I just gave the girls an idea of my colors and what I was looking for. I am very busy running my own business and I did not have the time to be worrying about all of that .It was all done and it was all done very professionally and it looks absolutely beautiful.
Everyone that comes wants to know where I got everything and who helped me do this.
It was what I expected – Nothing but the best! The girls were wonderful who put the concept together. I enjoyed the fact of being able to come and see the products and proposed concept in the store to get an idea of how it was all going to look-which was really good. This gives you a chance to see everything and if there is something you don’t like, the girls can help you with ideas and change it.
The delivery boys were very professional. They put extra care in looking after each individual item. They put felt on the bottom of the furniture, placed everything where it was meant to be, hung the art and took the rubbish away.
What makes Minkz different from other stores is the quality of service and the passion that is involved behind the service. It is also different to other stores in the way everything is presented, and how the furniture is displayed in room settings and the whole layout of the store – it is very eye catching.
I would recommend Minkz to anyone… I have already recommended you to heaps and heaps of people. Thanks Minkz.” Laurel Lavender, Denmark
“I was in Minkz one day and asked one of the staff if she knew of any local interior designers. To my surprise, she told me Minkz offered the service I booked a consultation and had the girls out to help me. It was everything I asked for, which was great, the girls listened to what to want.
At the time, I was not really too sure what to expect because I had ideas of what I wanted, but of course I needed somebody, like you to kind of put it all together and give me advise on what things go together and what things don’t go together.
There was plenty to choose from. Minkz has lots of modern interesting looking pieces. Everything was good quality and I was very happy with the price. I did have a budget. I wasn’t too sure what it was going to cost me, I wouldn’t say it was cheap, but when I compare it to other places, it was fairly reasonably priced and excellent quality. I got a lot for my money. I would absolutely recommend you & have done so. I’m very, very satisfied, with the whole finished design and also with the way it was all done. Thank you Minkz” Julie Shaw, Port Bouvard
“Recently we have been trying to sell our apartment in the new South Harbour Marina development in Mandurah, but were daunted by the fact that all of our competition (the big developers and others) had utilised professional interior design and furnishings to market their developments.
We decided on the pro-active approach and called in to the store to make arrangements for your consultants to visit our apartment to give us a better insight as to the best way forward to achieve the result we wanted.
The end result – achieved with maximum effect. The visual impact was amazing. The wow factor was absolutely stunning. The timeframe – unheard of these days and the satisfaction – overwhelming.” Craig & Karen Dowling, Mandurah

Do you know how easy it really is to change a room from “Drabulous to Fabulous?” It is really quite simple if you follow these 4 easy suggestions.
• New cushions can easily freshen up your rooms. Buy the most beautiful, decorative, textured cushions you can afford – leave the run of the mill ones. Cushions can make or break a room. They are the perfect accessory to pull a room together. Pick a background colour in the cushion fabric to use as a guide for decorating the rest of the room, and use it for choosing vases, art, floral arrangements and your finishing touches.
• When choosing art and statues, the secret here is to “Think Big” – choose a few big stunning pieces instead of lots of cheap little pieces. Everyone can tell the difference between the two and considering the time you have them for and the visual statement they make, it is worth making the investment to have statement pieces.
• Use texture shag rugs in a solid colour as they help define the areas and are great at minimizing the “druminess” in the room due to high ceilings. Use single or mix of coloured fibres and plain rugs instead of patterned as they are more contemporary.
• Use beautiful quality artificial flowers arrangements for a contemporary way to breath freshness into your rooms. They are also fantastic in fiberglass pots in alfresco areas.
• With your furniture, buy quality pieces that stand the test of time and together create a story. Having an entertainment unit, coffee table, side table, dining table, buffet and console all in the same design and materials looks classy is much better than having a mix of mismatched pieces. This is especially important in apartments and open plan areas.

1. What sort of Base do they have?  The wider and heavier the base the more sturdy the stool, giving you peace of mind when young children and elderly people use them because the extra weight and width means they won’t move around and have potential to fall over, causing injury or damaging your expensive floors.

2. What type of Gas lift do they have?  There are many different stools on the market, all with varying quality gas lifts.  A heavy duty gas lift is the best option so your stool will last a lifetime and the gas won’t run out.  Always be very careful to choose the best quality rams available so you don’t have any problems and ensure you get a guarantee with your stools.

3. What type of Frame do they come with?  Be careful  about frames screwed together because of the movement and stain that the bolts are under.  Frames with screws tend to work loose and have never ending problems.  Frames made with good quality tube or pipe and with all joins welded are good for life and will stay strong & not bend and be able to cope with the hectic wear and tear of everyday family life. 

4. What Materials are Used?   A heavy gauge welded steel frame with either a double chrome finish or stainless steel finish is best.  I often see silver paint finish however it scratches and is not durable.  Chrome quality varies enormously, so be very selective to ensure that the chrome you choose is double dipped to ensure that it does not peel.
