Interiors inspired by YOU
“Alexis’ eye for design is impeccable - she selected and tested colours and flooring that completely redefined the space. Beyond her creativity, she was incredibly thoughtful about staying within our budget, asking insightful questions, and providing excellent vendor and supplier recommendations.”
Principal Interior Designer Alexis Solomon, BID DID
Designed Around Your Life
Most people see the finishes, lighting, and paint colours.
What they don't see are the hundreds of hours spent planning everything underneath - floor plans, traffic flow, natural lighting, storage, furniture layouts, custom millwork, and the countless details that shape how a home feels to live in.
Every project begins by understanding your lifestyle.
Children. Pets. Entertaining. Accessibility needs. Hobbies. Daily routines.
These details influence every design decision and prevent mistakes that can’t be easily fixed later.
The result is a home that doesn't just look beautiful - it functions beautifully too.
MINT Freshly Inspired Design is an Interior Design Studio in Victoria BC
For over a decade, Principal Interior Designer Alexis Solomon has been helping families create homes that are as functional as they are beautiful.
While Architecture focuses on the structure and Builders bring it to life, Interior Design bridges the gap between vision and execution - ensuring every detail is thoughtfully designed around the people who will live there. The result is a home that balances thoughtful design, real-world practicality, and timeless style - while helping to keep your project on budget, on schedule, and free from costly surprises.
OUR MISSION
At MINT, our goal is to make every project an exciting, enjoyable, and above all, fun experience for each and every one of our valued clients.
We take great pride in being attentive listeners and active communicators, devoting the time to fully comprehend your vision, purpose, and what makes you happy, as well as keeping you informed every step of the way. The result? A space that's uniquely yours, and a design experience you'll genuinely enjoy from start to finish.
For Homeowners…
For Builders…
WHY MINT?
When you're building or renovating a home, your ideas can only take you so far.
The most successful projects aren't created by making decisions as you go. They're the result of thoughtful planning long before construction begins.
At MINT, we help homeowners and builder turn ideas into homes that are beautiful, functional, and designed around the way they live. With nearly 20 years of experience in custom homes and renovations across Victoria and Vancouver Island, we guide every stage of the process - from refining floor plans and selecting materials to coordinating with tradespeople and solving unexpected challenges.
‘We strive to create tailored, vibrant and functional interiors that spark feelings of joy in everyone who experiences them.’
We offer more than just great design - every project requires thoughtful planning, expert coordination, and hundreds of well-informed decisions.
From concept development and space planning to sourcing, procurement, and construction management, we guide every stage of the process to ensure your home is cohesive, functional, and beautifully executed.

KIND WORDS…
"We wholeheartedly and highly recommend Alexis to help design your new home or renovation. She was extremely helpful in determining our overall style and with the whole decision making process. Alexis came to us with a fresh and open mind, not with a pre-determined ideal of her own; She seemed to read us easily but was not afraid to kindly discourage unwise ideas and give practical solutions. Alexis made the journey a pleasant adventure which we will always remember with much joy!"
