Alexandra Kidd Interior Design is a story of creativity, craftsmanship, and collaboration. For over two decades, Alexandra Kidd has led our Sydney studio with a deep commitment to crafting homes that evoke emotion and reflect the lives of those who inhabit them.
We embrace the experiential nature of design, believing that beautifully considered spaces can fill a home with light, joy, and a true sense of belonging. Our approach is as personal as it is inspired - reimagining layouts, refining every detail, and blending function with elegance to craft bespoke interiors as unique as those we design for.
Joining the studio in 2013, Jessica Gombault infused her expertise in project management and creative direction into the heart of our process. In 2024, she stepped into the role of Studio Director, further elevating our team. Together, Alexandra and Jessica form a dynamic partnership, ensuring every concept is executed with passion and precision, allowing ideas to flourish.
At AKID, we believe in the transformative power of thoughtful design. Inspired by global influences yet deeply connected to the individual, we tailor each space to evoke comfort, beauty, and connection. We look forward to creating spaces that celebrate individuality, tell your unique story, and stand the test of time.
Alexandra Kidd
‘Home is more than just a space, it’s a feeling – one that speaks of your history, passions and the stories you’re yet to tell. Helping our clients navigate the journey to creating a home that is uniquely their own and the relationships we form along the way, is an immense privilege.
Our role as designers is to understand who you are and how you want to live – only this way can we create a home that is perfectly tailored to your lifestyle in every way.
We bring a creative approach and decades of skill and international experience to each project so you can enjoy the design process with the confidence of knowing that both your creative vision and budget are in safe hands.’
