Tim and Anna Robards' Sydney Sanctuary: A Festive Blend of Glamour and Family Warmth Sources

Article Round Up

At Crafted, we’re always inspired by homes that blend thoughtful design with a sense of ease—and Tim and Anna Robards’ Eastern Suburbs sanctuary does exactly that. Featured recently by Home Beautiful, their 1940s house has been lovingly restored into a serene, five-bedroom family home filled with light, texture, and a quiet sense of luxury.

From the soft boucle armchairs in the living room to the Arabescato marble centrepieces and layered metallics throughout, every detail speaks to a considered, contemporary Australian aesthetic. For this project they took our Franklin Sofa and customised the seat cushions to adapt the style to the needs of the client.

The Robards' worked closely with designers Elissa Griffin and Claudia Lambert to create a space that feels refined yet deeply personal—something we believe in wholeheartedly.

“It’s not just about the way it looks, but how it makes the room feel — relaxed, welcoming, and quietly refined.” Rahul Raja, Director
