Do you love my AMDC showroom design?

The spaces you love most don’t happen by accident. They’re crafted—thoughtfully, layer by layer—so they feel as good as they look and live as beautifully as they photograph. That’s the common ground between Tennille Joy Interiors and Australian Moulding & Door Company (AMDC): a shared belief that detail, proportion and honest materials create rooms that last.

What we love about AMDC (and why designers do, too)

AMDC’s made-to-order range covers classic to contemporary, so the architectural “language” of a home is easy to express with the right profiles and doors. From relaxed Hamptons panelling to confident, modern textures and shadow lines, our profiles let designers and homeowners translate a brief into something tangible—consistent across rooms, coherent across the whole home. That breadth is exactly why Tennille loves specifying AMDC: there’s something for everyone, and the craft holds up to daily life.

Tennille’s design style—calm, characterful, considered

Ask Tennille to describe her style and you’ll hear a balanced mix: colour, pattern, texture and curated pieces blended to create rooms that feel personal and quietly confident. It’s design with rhythm—where a skirting profile talks to an architrave, where a door panel and handle choice complete the composition, and where light and movement are accounted for from the start. The outcome is a space that’s unique to the client—never generic, never overdone.

Why clients choose Tennille (and keep coming back)

Collaboration first. Tennille works closely with each client’s Wishlist, then turns it into a buildable, documented plan. With 25+ years in the field—across Melbourne and London studios—she knows which details carry the most impact, which materials endure, and how to align selections with a real-world budget. That experience flows into clear schedules and drawings that help projects run smoothly for homeowners, builders and joiners alike.

Behind the scenes, her studio has long-standing relationships with local workrooms and makers, so bespoke furniture, upholstery, rugs and lighting can be tailored to the exact brief—another way design intent stays intact from concept to install.

A third-generation story of craft

Tennille’s design DNA runs deep. She’s a third-generation interior designer, inspired early by her mother’s decorating practice and the family’s furniture heritage—textures, timber and textiles were part of daily life. That legacy shows up in the way she honours the integrity of materials and champions quality that endures.

She founded Tennille Joy Interiors (TJI) in 2012, now based in Melbourne and active across residential and boutique commercial projects—including high-end holiday destinations—always with a focus on calm, liveable luxury. 

What working with Tennille + AMDC gives you

1) A clear path from inspiration to specification
TJI’s full-service approach covers spatial planning, joinery design & documentation, materials/finish schedules, colour consultations and lighting selections. Pair that with AMDC’s custom mouldings and doors, and you get a single, coherent narrative from skirting to ceiling—resolved on paper, delivered on site. Fewer grey areas, fewer RFIs, fewer variations.

2) Details that make the room
The right profile height, reveal and proportion can change how a space feels—quietly but decisively. Tennille’s documentation makes those choices intentional, so carpenters, painters and installers know exactly what outcome to deliver. With AMDC’s made-to-order capability, the design thinking is matched by manufacturing precision.

3) Real-world buildability
Great drawings consider tolerances and sequencing. Tennille’s process starts with a one-to-one discovery session, then moves through a collaborative design phase where wellness, sustainability and everyday use are part of the brief. The result is a specification that respects timelines, protects budgets and holds up to daily life.

4) Bespoke layers that finish the story
Beyond the architecture, TJI can deliver turn-key furniture and styling fit-outs—from sofas and case goods to rugs, lamps and art placement—coordinated to land in one white-glove installation day. That means the final 10% that often drags on a project is resolved, photographed and enjoyed—no half-finished rooms, no mismatched pieces.

5) Proof in practice
From heritage homes reimagined with modern function to light-filled family sanctuaries, TJI’s published work shows the same thread: proportion, calm and craftsmanship. It’s design that respects where a home has been while setting it up for the way you live now.

Crafted for Life

At AMDC, Crafted for Life is a promise: profiles and doors made to serve the architecture, the people and the years ahead. In Tennille Joy, we see a partner who shares that promise—someone who elevates the everyday through material honesty and considered detail. Together, we help clients make decisions once, make them well, and enjoy them for a long time.
