This unexpected home in Sydney's East captures the spirit of India and houses treasures from all over the world. Taking cues from the eclectic style and rich colour palette within each room, we artfully balanced the homes bold personality by juxtaposing a mix of unusual shapes, textural pieces and antiques to achieve unique spaces, that are full of character.

Decadence is the word that comes to mind when you walk through the doors at Lang Road. Designed and built in 1910, this federation home sprawls over three levels and boasts some original yet eccentric details – magnificent bay windows, exquisitely detailed stained glass and grand fireplaces. Having undergone a recent and extensive renovation, our studio was engaged to complete the interior decoration and furnishings.
"A HOUSE LIKE LANG ROAD, WITH ITS ORNATE CORNICES AND EXAGGERATED CURVED WALLS, REQUIRES DECORATION THAT WILL COMPLEMENT, RATHER THAN COMBAT ITS DISTINCTIVE STYLE."
– Alexandra Kidd
A spirited mix of colour, pattern and texture are consistent, but each room speaks its own language and emotes its own sense of place. As you journey through the finished space, no two rooms compete with each other. Some reflect a more traditional luxury, others are bold and whimsical; there are moments of playfulness and places of pause.
"OUR CLIENTS’ IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION OF ANTIQUES AND ART; GORGEOUS BONE INLAY PIECES, FABULOUS INDIAN SARIS AND AN OUTRAGEOUSLY HOT PINK BICYCLE BROUGHT TO THE EQUATION FOR COLOUR INSPIRATION AND DESIGN SCHEMES."
