Some designers specify finishes. Others shape how you feel in a space. Tennille Joy does both—grounding beauty in function, then lifting it with detail that lasts. A third-generation interior designer with 25+ years in practice, Tennille Joy’s foundations run deep: an upbringing surrounded by furniture, textiles, and hands-on craftsmanship; a career refined across Melbourne and London; and a studio philosophy that prizes authenticity, integrity, and the everyday rituals that turn a house into a life.
At Australian Moulding & Door Company (AMDC), we invited Tennille Joy to reimagine a complete space in our Bayswater showroom—Room 28—so clients could literally step into her approach. The result is a tactile, layered room that shows how thoughtful profiles, proportion, and joinery can anchor a mood, frame light, and carry a story from skirting to ceiling. It’s inspiration you can walk through—an immersive reference library for anyone planning a renovation, a new build, or a premium fit-out.
A philosophy that endures
Ask Tennille Joy’s what success looks like and she’ll tell you it’s when a space “feels like an extension of you”—not a showroom, but a signature. That ethos runs through her studio’s work: timeless over trendy, considered over complicated, and always human-centred. It’s an approach that sits naturally with AMDC’s own values of craft, proportion, and material honesty: selecting the right profile is never just a trim choice—it’s a design decision that shapes how a room reads and lives.
Tennille Joy’s portfolio spans full-service residential and commercial interiors—from major renovations and extensions to highly detailed refurbishments. Her team covers spatial planning, joinery design and documentation, material/finish schedules, colour consultations, and lighting selections, weaving each decision into a coherent experience rather than a shopping list. That end-to-end discipline is one reason her rooms feel seamless—and why builders and project managers love working from her documentation.
Recognition—because the details matter
Great interior design is as much about precision as it is about mood. Tennille Joy’s attention to both has been recognised with industry accolades, including Best of Houzz honours (Design & Service), and short-listed, published, and awarded work across Australian platforms. These are independent nods that reflect what clients already know: the work is beautiful, and the experience is professional.
For a taste of the craft, explore project features such as “A Family Oasis” and “The Wellness Home,” where calm palettes are layered with tactile timber, smart storage, and joinery that hits the sweet spot between durability and refinement—spaces designed for real families, not photo shoots. The joinery choices, palette control, and natural-light strategies showcased in those homes mirror the principles she brings to every brief.
Why Tennille Joy—and why now—for AMDC clients
Whether you’re a homeowner planning a transformation, a builder delivering a premium spec, or a wholesaler supporting trade customers, Tennille Joy’s process solves common pain points:
- For Retail clients: start with a clear concept and a room-by-room path. See mouldings, door styles, and profiles not as afterthoughts, but as the architectural punctuation that gives your home its voice. Walk Room 28 to understand scale, shadow lines, and the difference profile depth makes to natural light.
- For Trade partners (builders, joiners, installers): reduce friction on site with fully resolved joinery drawings, finish schedules, and profile specifications that respect lead times and tolerances. Fewer variations, fewer guesswork calls from site, and a cleaner client handover.
- For Wholesale customers: leverage a designer’s language to help your clients choose quickly and confidently. When the profiles and door systems are specified up front—with purpose—the downstream logistics become simpler and more predictable.
See it. Learn it. Specify it.
Designer Event with Tennille Joy — September 2025 (AMDC Bayswater)
In September 2025, AMDC will host a designer-led session with Tennille Joy that turns inspiration into specification. Expect an engaging walk-through of Room 28, practical guidance on selecting mouldings for different architectural eras, and Q&A on managing budgets without losing design intent. You’ll leave with a designer’s eye for proportion and a builder’s eye for detail—so the decisions you make in the showroom translate perfectly on site. (Event specifics and RSVP details will follow in our next announcement.)
We’ve structured the event for three audiences in one afternoon:
- Retail/Homeowners: a guided tour of profiles, door styles, and the “small things” that make the biggest visual difference—skirting heights, architrave reveals, and how to coordinate finishes so rooms feel connected.
- Trade: a compact masterclass on joinery documentation, schedule logic, and how to stage decisions to protect timeline and cost, plus tips for avoiding re-work.
- Wholesale: a product-solutions conversation—how to present the right profiles and door systems at the counter to reduce overwhelm and speed confident selection.
Tennille Joy’s collaborative style means nobody is lectured to; everyone is included. The goal is simple: give every attendee a handful of ideas they can apply immediately, from a single-room uplift to a full architectural re-set.
Experience her work in person—right now
If you can’t wait for September, visit our showroom and spend time in Room 28. Notice the way the mouldings catch light, how door profiles change a corridor’s rhythm, and how joinery proportions subtly balance height and width. Bring your plans, photos, or even a Pinterest board—our team can walk you through profiles, samples, and door options, and show how Tennille Joy’s principles might translate to your home or project.
A partner in your project—end to end
Tennille Joy’s studio works from the first sketch through to the last fitting. That means fewer hand-offs, clearer accountability, and a design narrative that holds together under real-life use. Her team’s services—planning, joinery design & documentation, materials and finishes, colour and lighting—pair neatly with AMDC’s manufacturing expertise, ensuring what’s drawn is buildable, serviceable, and delivered with craft. For busy clients and builders, that combination saves time and protects budgets.
As a Bayside-based designer with decades in the field, Tennille Joy brings local supplier networks and global standards to the table—equally comfortable curating a serene wellness palette as she is orchestrating a full-scale family renovation with durable surfaces and hidden storage. It’s that blend of elegance and practicality that keeps her rooms feeling fresh long after the photos are taken.
