The Kitchen Designer

Susan was excellent to work with. Susan designed a kitchen and laundry for us as part of a massive internal restructure. Her sense of space and her practical approach resulted in a kitchen and laundry with all the room and features I could want or need. Susan introduced features, such as a walk-in pantry, that I never would have thought possible. I recommend her to everyone I can.

We highly recommend Susan Wasley - The Kitchen Designer. Juggling busy schedules, we couldn’t consider having to go through creating new designs with multiple builders to get quotes. Working with one designer - we perfected our plan and then simply sent it off to numerous tradies for quotes. Investing a small amount at the outset definitely saved more in being able to compare quotes simply. Even after the plans were finalised - she was there for advice throughout the build. Susan is a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our kitchen.

On a professional level you cannot go past Susan. I've dealt with Susan on many occasions as a service of trade on a few of her projects and found her to always be professional and realistic.

An amazing project organised with Susan Wasley (The kitchen designer) , a lady who is professional at the same time as having a warm approach to her clients. We were looking for an independent designer for our kitchen, family room,ensuite & WIR, to help us with our ideas and the end result was all we had hoped for and more. The French provincial white kitchen is perfectly designed with ample drawer & cupboard space along with a Le Mans cupboard, large platter shelving and step in pantry. The oven is placed under a built in area with mantle lined with white subway tiles and a strip of black mosaic tiles. We would recommend Susan 100% to anyone considering having a kitchen, ensuite or WIR designed with all the specifications, measurements and products required to complete the project.

What a difference a designer makes! When I started the process of planning my new kitchen I thought I had enough knowledge to "do it myself". Talk about a little knowledge being a dangerous thing! Fortunately, before any real damage was done, Susan came to the rescue and created a stylish, highly efficient, practical design solution. I give a little mental "thank you" every time a drawer closes itself or gives me great access to the back of storage. Having a step-in pantry with everything accessible is a dream. I have recommended Susan to family and also to clients, with outstanding results every time.

Susan met with my sister and I and listened to our thoughts and frustrations with current kitchen and storage. Our kitchen is not the biggest and she came back to review 2 different designs. one allowing for wall oven, the other for freestanding large oven. After deciding on the design with a few more tweeks we had a final plan. Susan also assisted with advice on benchtops, cupboards, hardware and colours. We have purchased a lovely granite benchtop and our kitchen cabinet maker will commence on 20 March. He commented that the design was really great and did not try to change anything in the design. Can't wait to post before and after photos. Thank you for your great design and advice. Marianne Thursky

Susan displayed an extensive knowledge when assisting with the design of our new kitchen and laundry. Her positive, understanding and enthusiastic manner made us feel at ease and confident. She clearly grasped our needs and preferences and prepared an excellent design, which achieve "the stunning look" we were seeking. Without any hesitation we express the highest recommendation.

The first thing Susan said to me on our first meeting when I asked her what she thought, her was 'it is my job to find out what YOU like, and see how we can make it work in a practical, beautiful way.' The practical ideas included blocking the existing doorway which put a better distance between the kitchen, opening up the kitchen into the living area, and ensuring the cabinet maker understood the correct heights/dimensions (ie height of the oven/microwave). This required some direct talking to ensure the correct placement of the appliances and rangehood! Also the positioning of the cupboards, drawers, bins and pantry have resulted in a wonderfully easy kitchen to work in. The beautiful aspects were the touches of timber to add the warmth I wanted to achieve (timber overhead cupboards, 3 open shelves and timber raised bench), the serene coloured splash back which Susan recommended to go to the ceiling (thank goodness I took your advice - it looks fabulous!), and the overhang on the bench, space for 2 stools (Susan ensured the flooring layout was spot on). Also recommendation of an interior designer who helped with colours and loungeroom décor. Susan was professional, available and fully committed to the process of making sure a top class job was the result. I highly recommend The Kitchen Designer.

I engaged Susan to assist me with planning my new kitchen. I wanted to change it from your typical U-shape timber look to a more modern look. I also converted the old dining room to a Butler's Pantry and I am so happy with the outcome. I was very pleased with her attention to detail to things that I wouldn't have thought of. She managed to de-stress certain aspects of it for me and I love my new kitchen. I would highly recommend Susan the Kitchen Designer to anyone who is contemplating either building or renovating.

At our very first meeting, Susan “The Kitchen Designer” took the time to listen to our needs and vision for our Kitchen and Laundry and was able to suggest ideas based on knowledge of the products and materials (both natural stone and man-made) available. Susan made the design choices easy without the stress. With the design plans produced, we were able to approach different cabinet makers for a quote based on a single design plan – saving time and money. The end result was a beautiful, functional kitchen and laundry! Thank-you The Kitchen Designer! Angela & Carlo Volpe

I loved the ideas Susan suggested for my laundry and kitchen cupboards. Simple style and plenty of storage space. She was able to design the right mix for me. I now have an upgraded look for very little cost. I highly recommend her work to anyone looking to upgrade , replace or build from new.

We are very pleased with our new kitchen which was designed by Susan Wasley, The Kitchen Designer. After a couple of visits to discuss our requirements, including how we used the kitchen, what we wanted from a new kitchen and what we didn't want, Susan quickly gained a good understanding of what we were looking for and, after the presentation of a couple of designs and some excellent suggestions, we soon reached a final design. Susan recommended a cabinet maker who was able to do the job according to her specifications to a very high standard and within the quoted time frame and budget. We were extremely satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend Susan's very professional service.
