At Alexandra Kidd Interior Design, our work is defined by elegance, intention, and a deep respect for craftsmanship.
For over two decades, Alexandra Kidd has led our Sydney-based studio with quiet confidence and an unwavering commitment to creating homes that are both timeless and deeply personal. Our interiors are grounded in feeling - thoughtful spaces that reflect the lives, stories, and aspirations of the people who live in them.
Since joining the studio in 2013, Jessica Gombault has become a driving force behind our creative and strategic direction. In 2024, she stepped into the role of Studio Director, bringing her own blend of creative intuition and operational clarity to every project. Together, Alex and Jess form a dynamic duo, balancing big-picture vision with meticulous detail to ensure each project is delivered with care, passion, and precision.
At AK.ID, we believe in the transformative power of thoughtful design. Inspired by global influences yet rooted in the individual, we create spaces that feel refined, effortless, and entirely your own.
Alexandra Kidd
"Home is more than a space, it’s a feeling. One that speaks to your history, your passions, and the stories still to come. Guiding our clients through the journey of creating a home that’s uniquely theirs, and the relationships we build along the way, is an immense privilege.
Our role as designers is to listen deeply, interpret thoughtfully, and create with intention. Only then can we deliver spaces that feel as effortless as they are personal.
With decades of experience and a creative approach grounded in elegance and craftsmanship, we help bring your vision to life — beautifully and seamlessly."
