What our clients are saying.
“It was a dream come true for us. We absolutely love our ‘new’ home, we love the overall design, the revised layout, the improved functionality, enhanced spaces and the timelessness. Susan Lands from Stratford Design came into our life at a much-needed time, we were tossing up what to do with our existing 1960s built house, we wanted to spend more quality time with our family here, however we needed some expert guidance.
We contacted Susan [ after being referred ] she was very approachable, extremely client-focused and listened to all of our needs and wants. She worked closely with us along the way and gave us lots of valuable advice, suggestions and recommendations. She incorporated our family lifestyle in her vision | plans when we started our design journey and she understood exactly what we wanted to achieve. She completely changed the old layout & designed a ‘new’ home that were never considered was even an option. Her vision & scope of what we had to what we have now, has literally improved our home family lifestyle ten fold.
She definitely has strong attention to detail, all the finishes, products used were meticulously chosen and aligned to our long term plans based on her overall design, ensuring we have future proof concepts | solutions throughout our new home. She collaborated well with our builders and was available to answer any tricky questions the builder had at the time. Having her involvement during build stage, certainly made the overall build process a lot easier and hassle free.
We are so pleased with the end result! It is truly a beautiful home we live in, and we are very proud to call it our home and love showing it to our family and friends.”

She did an excellent job and showed us a design strength in making the added spaces complimentary plus in empathy with the style of our home.
Susan has now designed a well thought out concept for renovating | updating or main bathroom. She gave detailed plans-graphics | mood boards which co-ordinated well with the rest of the home, but she is approachable and flexible enough embracive of others ideas. She also facilitated and managed purchasing all necessary items within renovations including tiles and bathroom ware.
Fully recommend Susan for your interior design requirements.”

Adele & David Carran
Sampson and Stewart Builders Ltd have been supplying clients with quality builds since 1986.
During the years have worked with numerous architects, draughtspersons and colour design consultants.
About five years ago we met Susan who was the interior designer of an unusual renovation we were about to tackle. Exterior was 80s weatherboard and timber joinery. Certainly, lacked any flair. But with Susan’s interior layout and finish. The home was a flowing family and entertainment success.
Susan has great vision with workable space and very creative in thinking outside the square to achieve the best possible design. Whether it be designing kitchens, bathrooms, family, entrance and bedroom areas. Her understanding to come up with the perfect scenario has impressed me and my clients.
Susan’s colour choice and styled finish always compliments the home.
Have been inspired working with Susan and gives tremendous confidence in giving the client a finished product we all can be proud of. Long may we continue.
