Mim Fanning launched her business 20 years ago, and over time,  Mim Design has expanded to become one of Australia’s leading interior design studios. Recognised nationally and internationally, the studio’s diverse portfolio spans hospitality, residential and commercial interiors, always favouring understated, timeless design over fleeting trends.

Mim attributes a large part of her success to the incredible relationships she has built with her clients and collaborators over the years – and one of those relationships is with Lexus. Mim has worked with Lexus to design many of their Birdcage Marquees for the Melbourne Cup Carnival,  but this year, her involvement looks a little different!

Lexus have worked with Australia’s most creative minds, including Mim, to create the Lexus Lifestyle Hub – an online platform full of exciting ideas in food, music, entertaining, florals and fashion. Here you will find – floral inspiration from Saskia Havekes of renowned Sydney florist Grandiflora, fashion advice from Toni Maticesvski, mood-enhancing playlists from Flight Facilities, and many more ideas to bring your Lexus Melbourne Cup celebration to life, at home.

In this conversation, Mim shares how she’s built her business from the ground up, how she’ll be celebrating The Melbourne Cup this year, and ideas for refreshing your own home this Spring.
