Interiors studio YSG has upgraded a home in Sydney's Mosman suburb to feature "lavish yet tranquil" interiors that are more akin to those of a luxury hotel.
The three-storey house previously had drab grey walls and awkwardly placed partitions but now features more coherently connected rooms finished in a sumptuous mix of materials.

"Our clients wanted a home that felt like a boutique hotel with a lavish yet tranquil tonal intensity that was rich in substance, not excess trimmings," YSG explained.
"We took a deep dive, converting it into a tactile haven with nooks for respite amongst spaces that freely ebb and flow."
YSG expanded the home's covered balcony to accommodate a large table The studio started by reconfiguring the home's first floor to make way for more outdoor entertainment space.
A glass alcove that used to jut into the balcony was removed, allowing room for a large table where the clients can sit and take in views of the nearby harbour.

The expanded balcony means there is now less room on the interior. But YSG worked around this by removing the kitchen's cumbersome bulkhead and two partition walls that once framed its breakfast island.
The revamped kitchen now features a black counter clad with leathered marble and shimmering mosaic tiles.
