Coast

MINT CONDITION

Leading a full life bustling with business creativity whilst juggling an active teenage family, Louise Ingram finds balance by making the most of coastal living - from downtime recharging in the sea to seeking inspiration from the Cornish land and seascapes for her interior design business.

With a shared family passion for surfing, swimming, and paddleboarding, the Ingrams’ lives revolve around their love of the ocean, with their stylish home offering the perfect viewpoint to check out the swell.

Inspired by her surroundings, alongside her business partner Caroline Saulsbury, Louise created Mint House - an interior design studio and online store - known for their signature luxe-laidback style for coastal properties. The design principles and aesthetics championed by this talented duo are perfectly illustrated in Louise’s family home, overlooking Porthtowan beach on the north Cornish coast.

Growing up in the Cornish fishing village Mevagissey, Louise left her motherland for London to study at Chelsea School of Art but instinctively knew she would eventually be drawn back home.
