Incredible job done on investment property

September 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I just wanted to send a quick email on behalf of my parents and to you and the team at Minkz Osborne Park for the incredible job you did furnishing our investment property in the city.

You were fantastic in helping us choose the furniture from a huge selection within the store while listening to the style and overall look we wanted to achieve.

The team delivered and installed all the furniture right on time and with your follow up and keen eye had everything positioned perfectly for prospective tenants.

In the two years we have owned the apartment, it has only been vacant one week and achieved icnredible highr eturns. I believe this is down to the appealing style of the apartment driven by the furnishing and location.

In my line of work I often deal with investors looking for that very experience we had, so have noo hesitation in referring them to you and the team at Minkz Furniture.

I wish you all the best and am sure we will see you very soon.

How to Decorate Your Home and Turn it from Drabulous to Fabulous!

September 14, 2011 By 1 Comment

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.

Very, very satisfied

March 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment

“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.

My house turned out fantastic. I absolutely loved it. Everybody that comes through the door-even now anyone who hasn’t been before, when they come through, they always say they love the interior design and they décor and everything that is in my home now, which is all the stuff you did. Everyone always raves about it. It all worked out really well.

At the time, I was not really too sure what to expect because I had ideas of what I wanted, but of coarse 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 pretty 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. I got a lot for my money.

It was good how everything was together. It was also good how you took photo’s, went away, came up with ideas. I found it was all very easy for me. I also got a lot of good advise from you.

I would absolutely recommend you.- I have done. .I’m very, very satisfied, really happy with the whole finished design and  also with the way it was all done.

Thank you Minkz”
