Minnie Bhatt has trained under some very renowned interior designers and with her experience, she set up - Minnie Bhatt Design, 11 years ago.
Having grown up in South Bombay, the exposure to heritage structures and the charm of vintage buildings and the old world neighborhoods has been deeply embedded in her design sensibilities. In a subconscious way, these often, find their way subtly into the spaces she creates.
Minnie’s style of design is mainly eclectic and contemporary. The mantra of Minnie Bhatt Design is not only to create exquisite spaces that are timeless and authentic, but also never to repeat these creations.

Today, Minnie with her creative genes has been single-handedly re-defining the restaurant interiors with new innovation. She understands that the success of a restaurant does not only depend on food and drinks but the ambience also plays a major role in retaining customers.
Anotherunique project that makes a special mention in Minnie’s profile of work is a 400-year-old temple in Vrindavan, Mathura. This particular project involved Minnie to recondition the temple whilst retaining the old heritage interior. Besides, studying the subject of Lord Krishna closely, she also traveled across the country in search of the best craftsmen to work on the temple.
Together they created a beautiful backdrop for the idols in the form of peacock feathers with semiprecious stones like lapis, malachite and amethyst inlaid in white Makrana marble. 'Tree of life' inspired jalis in marble or the windows of the prayer hall, a tree to shade the sandstone idols of Krishna and his consort Radha, in pure Brass. She involved artisans from Rajasthan and Agra carves the stone facade of the temple extension.

The process of each project involves getting into the depth of the concept and also giving it character that reflects the personality of the owner. Hence, fulfilling her drive and passion for her work.
