MCID Interior Design studio working intuitively to create beautiful liveable homes

02/11/2026

Feature lighting is about so much more than the light itself.

At MCID, we have been exploring feature lighting for a few of our projects, and while each fitting is quite different, there's a common design language connecting them.

We're considering shape, scale, materials and colour, but also how each piece interacts with the surrounding architecture and finishes.

How does it look when it's switched off? What happens when it's illuminated? Does it cast beautiful shadows, introduce texture or create an unexpected sculptural moment?

And perhaps most importantly, how does it relate to the other lighting selections throughout the home?

We are often looking at balancing a calm, refined interior with moments of personality and sculptural interest. We want lighting to feel collected and considered, rather than overly matched.

Because creating a cohesive home doesn't mean everything needs to look the same.

It's about finding those subtle connections that make everything feel like it belongs.

Natural stone is one of our favourite materials to work with, but choosing the right stone is about more than just falling in love with a beautiful slab.
When selecting natural stone for benchtops, splashbacks and other hardworking surfaces, we always recommend viewing the slabs in person and asking questions about how the stone will perform in your home, based on how you live and the function of the space.

The good news? We have access to an incredible range of natural stone via our preferred suppliers, so there is usually an option that gives us the look we want while still being fit for purpose.

A few of the questions we always ask:

How will this stone perform in the space?
-A kitchen benchtop works very differently to a bathroom vanity or fireplace surround.

What size are the slabs and how many are available?
-This becomes particularly important when planning larger areas, matching slabs, book matching or minimising joins.

How will it respond to everyday life?
-We want to understand its resistance to staining, heat, scratching and etching and what we need to be mindful of.

What maintenance does it require?
-Does it need sealing? How often? And what should or shouldn’t be used to clean it?

What happens if it chips or is damaged?
-Can it be repaired, and what should we realistically expect as the stone ages?

These images are from a recent visit to WK Stone with our Aspire Boulevard clients, who fell in love with the beautiful warmth and movement of Taj Mahal quartzite.

Natural stone will always have variation; that’s part of what makes it so beautiful. Our job is to make sure we’re not only choosing a slab you love today, but one that makes sense for your home, your lifestyle and the way you use it every day.

If you’re working with MCID, you can rest assured we’ll help you navigate the options and select a stone that looks beautiful and performs well for the way you live.

Beautiful, liveable interiors. 🤎

A home with history, and a family with deep roots in the area.

Set within Camberwell’s beautiful Golf Links Estate, this Art Deco home with Spanish Revival influences already had plenty of personality when we first came to it — those wonderful arches, brick detailing and original architectural features were very much part of what we wanted to preserve.

Our clients had both grown up around Camberwell and, when it came time to raise their own family, chose to make their home in the neighbourhood they knew and loved.

The brief was never about stripping away the character of the house. Instead, we wanted to celebrate what was already there while creating a home that worked for contemporary family life.

We introduced a warmer, more layered interior through considered joinery, furniture, lighting, colour and texture, allowing the original Art Deco and Spanish Revival details to sit comfortably alongside the new.

It’s a project that captures something we really believe in at MCID — a home can evolve without losing the story that made it special in the first place.

And it seems we weren’t the only ones who loved this one. The finished home was also featured in Home Beautiful. You can check out the article at this link https://www.homebeautiful.com.au/renovation-ideas/this-art-deco-renovation-is-a-masterclass-in-sympathetic-restoration/

Your entryway matters ✨

Your entryway is the first thing you see when you come home, it deserves as much thought as every other space.

When designed intentionally, it becomes more than a transitional space, it sets the tone for everything beyond it.

At MCID, we give the entrance the love it deserves by thoughtfully curating every detail, from the materials and finishes to the lighting and furniture.

It’s the little details that make the biggest difference to how a home feels.

“Travel isn’t a reward for working. It’s education for living.”
— attributed to Anthony Bourdain

For the past couple of years, I’ve found every excuse not to travel. Work was busy, there were projects to finish and family life took priority. There was always something that felt more important - But this little trip to Thailand to chase the sun reminded me why stepping away really matters.

Walking through Wat Pho, Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, I couldn’t help but slow down and admire the extraordinary artistry. Every carved detail, hand-laid mosaic, and intricate pattern speaks of a time when things were made with incredible care, patience and pride. Craftsmanship like this doesn’t simply create beautiful buildings - they are full of feeling and history.

I was equally inspired by the contrasts in Bangkok - the organised chaos of Bangkok, the new shiny highrises and the narrow laneways of Chinatown, the ageing shopfronts, tangled power lines and buildings that have quietly evolved over decades. Imperfect, layered and full of stories.

Then Koh Samui offered something completely different: a slower pace, tropical landscapes, soft morning light, the sound of the ocean and time to breathe, and simply be.

It was so good to become an observer again, Sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do for your creativity is step away from your desk and allow the world to teach you something new.

One of our favourite design tools isn't furniture, artwork or styling.

It's light.

The way it moves across the timber.
The shadows it creates.
The connection it brings to the landscape beyond.

Every layer has a role.
Every object has room to breathe.

And throughout the day, the room quietly transforms.

That's the kind of beauty that never dates.

White kitchens are often dismissed as the 'safe' option. But for this home, it was exactly the right choice.

The brief was simple: create a light, bright and welcoming contemporary coastal family home.

By layering subtle texture through Cosmopolitan White stone, warm timber tones and natural light, the kitchen feels fresh, timeless and connected to the rest of the home.

Proof that great design isn't about following trends.

It's about creating a home that feels right for the people who live there.

A materials board is where a home’s story begins.

It’s a space to explore, experiment and see how different textures, colours, patterns and finishes come together before they become part of your home.

Not every idea makes the final selection and that’s exactly the purpose of the process. By testing combinations and allowing ideas to evolve, we uncover the details that create a space that feels considered, cohesive and uniquely yours.

Great design isn’t about making the first choice. It’s about exploring the possibilities until everything feels right.

The feature our clients appreciate most is rarely the one that gets all the attention.

While beautiful finishes and furnishings create the first impression, it's the clever storage and thoughtful functionality that make a home a joy to live in every day.

At MCID, we believe great design should feel as good as it looks.

From a banquette seat with hidden storage for toys and books for three busy boys, to custom wardrobes designed around daily routines. From a mudroom that creates the perfect landing zone when coming in through the back door, to integrated TV cabinetry that keeps clutter out of sight and bathroom storage that keeps everyday essentials beautifully organised.

Every solution is carefully considered around how our clients actually live.

Because the best homes aren't just beautiful.

They're intuitive, functional and thoughtfully designed to support life as it unfolds.

That's the kind of luxury we love creating.
