Karanda Interiors

I have been working with Toni for over 18 months on my dream home. From start to finish, Toni understood exactly what I wanted, made tailored enhancements to my vision and assisted greatly with space ratio. Toni's creativity, knowledge of the industry and great work ethic has ensured a great experience. Thanks to Toni and the Karanda Interiors team!

OMG Toni is amazing !!! Toni continually blows me away with concepts that would never have occured to me but work so well and in keeping with budget and husband constraints. I confidently and wholeheartedly recommend Toni Ford for any project be it small or large home or commercial.

My husband and I highly recommend Toni from Karanda Interiors for her professionalism and service. We have just downsized and requested Toni's services after being recommended by friends. She visited our old home to see the types of colours that we liked and measured and suggested the furniture that we could take to our unit. She shopped with us to suggest chairs and furniture fabrics and also suggested furniture and colours that would suit our new place. We bought some furniture and some decorator items from her and also used an excellent tradesperson recommended by Toni to built a built-in desk and an entertainment unit. Toni also recommended where we could hang art works and gave us specific measurements for their placement. We are very pleased with our almost-completed furnished and decorated unit. It is most likely that clients would be very pleased from consultation with Toni. Pam

My experience with Toni Ford from Karanda Interiors was direct, no nonsense, no time wasting communication with invaluable advise and direction which resulted in our home having the feel and look exactly as I wanted, in addition I have no doubt our homes sale price was beyond expectation due to the excellent planning and design both indoors and outdoors. Toni has vast experience and skills from choosing a tap through to design and drawings. I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you are renovating, building, whether small or large spending, begin the project with Toni! 20 years on, I continue to liaise with Toni on any changes in my home. Ruth White - Previous home photos will be on realestate sales - 31A Bodalla Crescent, go take a look.

Very professional & helpfull and the result was an amazing kitchen,dining & lounge area that has visitors jaw dropping to the floor!

Toni's expertise in design ideas, floor plan, colours and inclusions were fantastic. The existing space in our house was repurposed, enabling us to include an ensuite bathroom, walk in robe and linen cupboards, butler's pantry, and so much more. Toni's ability to see the potential was great. Toni was great at working with you and what you liked. We are very happy and immensely enjoying our renovated house.

I had a total rebuild and Toni supported me throughout the process. Her creative and innovative ideas meant the ordinary became extraordinary. As you come through the front door, there is now a view through an interior window placed in the stairwell, right through to the pool - Toni's idea. The shower in the laundry is a reality because Toni saw that a shower could fit into the recess formed by the staircase. I really appreciated her expertise and patience as I changed my mind and couldn't decide on colours and design. I feel so lucky to have had Toni working with me.

I have worked with Toni Ford at Karanda Interiors now for over seven years on 5-6 projects and always found her totally professional and full of fantastic ideas from design, colour, fabrics, and room lay out. I can recommend Karanda for any domestic design ideas to make life a lot easier for the home/ office renovation. Regards, TB.

It was a pleasure to have Toni, Jelena and the team at Karanda Interiors to work on our new house. Toni's sense of style and touch was always spot on and it was amazing to see her work everything together like an elegant piece of art. Jelena and the admin team were also very supportive throughout the entire process with quick turnarounds on orders and deliveries. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to style their home.

I had Jelena come out to help fill in some bare spaces in a few rooms. She was on time, friendly and really took my opinions into consideration. Very satisfied.

We worked with Toni and her team as part of a major renovation to our home. There is really nothing that Toni can’t do. From improving floor plans, assisting with design choices, organising furnishings and working with suppliers for anything and everything. It is all covered. Toni works with your personal style whilst also providing invaluable input on choices. She saved us a lot of time and money in the long run by distilling literally thousands of choices into a few, and avoiding many potential bad decisions. The rest of her team is also excellent to work with and always give great service and advice. The result has been a home that we absolutely love and that is tailored to us. We highly recommend Karanda Interiors and don’t know what we’d have done without them!

We worked with Toni and her team on the renovation of our new home. As a busy couple with young children Toni made the crazy, overwhelming and stressful job of renovating such an easy and enjoyable process. Nothing was ever too much trouble. From the first concept meeting, to shopping for different products, to moving in Toni was there every step of the way. We would never have got our forever home without the tireless efforts of Toni. We strongly recommend Karanda Interiors to anyone looking for support in creating their dream home. Toni and her team totally nailed it - everyone who walks into our house says WOW!!!

Toni and her team at Karanda have worked with me over the past 3 years to furnish almost all the rooms in my house. Toni quickly ascertained my personal style and has since effectively been able to narrow down the overwhelming choices in design to clear options and decision points which has helped me no end. Toni’s seemingly instinctive knowledge of size and layout is invaluable, combined with her network of suppliers and excellent execution has made working with Karanda flawless. It’s wonderful to have a someone to take the anxiety out of decision making! I can’t recommend Karanda enough.

We have know Toni for over 15 years and have engaged her on a number of projects over that time and are very happy with her work She is very professional operates at the leading edge of design advice and always stays ahead of the fashion curve. We would strongly recommend her and her team for any interior design. Julie and Peter, Gymea Bay.

Thank you to Toni & the team at Karanda Interiors for their professional advice in regards to recent renovations to our family home. Toni provided amazing consultation with clear directions on all aspects of the renovations & helped us visualize how good the changes could look. We are extremely happy we made the choice to go with Toni & have already recommended Karanada Interiors to friends who also want to make changes in their home.

We have been working with Toni and her team for 12 months to plan and execute a renovation, as well as furnishing and decorating our home. Toni and her teams professionalism, attention to detail and prompt follow-up on all enquiries has resulted in a low stress, quality outcome that we are incredibly happy with. We would strongly recommend Karanda Interiors to anyone who is looking for support in creating their dream home.

We had Toni from Karanda come to our house to help with ideas on remapping internal rooms. She had great ideas, designed a kitchen, en-suite walk-in wardrobe, update bathrooms, move bedroom, laundry. She measured and drew up plans (by hand) advised us on products to suit our budget, helped us with colours, organised quotes and suggested builders. Saved us lots of money as most windows don’t have to move. We now have plan to obtain quotes for kitchen, new cabinets etc. I honestly don’t know how we would have got off first base without her expertise.

I engaged Toni to assist with the design of our home renovations. This included kitchen and bathroom layout and guidance on colour scheme and the fittings, window furnishings and flooring. The result is fantastic and I was so impressed with the professional way that Toni and Karanda Interiors managed the project. Highly recommended !

This is the first time I have used Karanda Interiors. I found these ladies to be very professional, Always there to answer any questions. Jelena knowledge and her styling to be outstanding. I will definitely be using Karanda Interiors again. Very happy.

We engaged Karanda Interiors to provide ideas and plans for major interior/exterior upgrade of 90’s era 2 storey home From initial consultation to concept plan and final plan, selection of tiles, colours, furniture/accessories and most importantly liaison with ourselves, suppliers and our builder was exceptional The team at KI are easy to work with, understanding of customers needs and tastes, flexible with excellent guidance and explanation. The entire process was consultative, collaborative, personal and professional We highly commend KI

We had little time and budget to make mistakes, and after just 5 minutes with Toni Ford, she knew exactly what was required to transform our home. Toni's expertise allows her to cut through all the noise and provide on-budget, on-time and on-trend advice both aesthetic and structural. The Karanda team are reliable, prompt, efficient and listen. We have worked with Toni and the team over 4 years now, and would highly recommend their services, and use them again.

I have used the professional services of Toni Ford from Karanda for well over 20 years. I just find Toni to be professional, courteous & always on time. Her design services are second to none .For me it just helps me from making major mistakes & I appreciate this very much. Toni is very enthusiastic & this level of service has never wavered. Try her. She is a kind hearted person & I always trust her advice. Furthermore, she is well thought of in the Industry.

Toni was able to solve our complex design problem and delivered us the most beautiful kitchen, dining, and living area. It’s a stunning, yet practical space that suits the needs of our family perfectly, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We have now invited Toni to design our new business workspace with amazing results.

Since working with Toni and her team over the past years, they have shown to be experts in their field, consistently delivering outstanding projects from concept to completion. Would definitely recommend.

Karanda Interiors brought our tired 1960s red brick home into the 2000s. We were so happy with the design for our kitchen and family room we asked Toni to reimagine the lounge room and the front of the house. Toni’s knowledge, professionalism and creativity is impressive. I would recommended Karanda Interiors to any one considering renovations.

I couldn't be happier with this company they listened to my ideas and along with their friendly professionalism and numerous knowledge of all products from both internal and external i have thanks to owner Toni an outstanding apartment

Very approachable and always available to answer any concerns. Plenty of options available. Very happy with the final product. Would highly recommend the firm.

This is currently an on going consultancy exercise and to date we are pleased with the expert advise on this project. We have been a client of Karanda for over 30 years. During our relationship we have been assisted on a number of refurbishments and new build projects. Toni and her staff have always been informative and helpful.

One good coffee ... One Toni Ford ... One hour of conversation and she understood the clients wishes and desires and was able to create the atmosphere Glenn and Sarah really wanted in their new home. The clients came with a folder full of pretty pictures but when Toni prepared her photo montage of products, finishes and colours, Sarah just smiled and about 20 seconds later it turned into tears as she suddenly got that feeling that her new home was really going to turn out the way she wanted. As a builder, made my life a breeze with the way she specifies EVERYTHING ... i’m a structural guy who loves concrete and steel but I sweat bullets when people ask me what colour paint or tile would go best with ‘x’ ... love working with Toni.

This is the second time we have used Karanda Interiors moving from our large house into a unit. We started with an empty space and after one onsite visit she has designed us a stunningly beautiful living room layout. There is no other way but to invest in good advice from Toni, she has contacts with quality manufacturers taking the doubt out of choices, selecting WOW factor designs and quality furnishings that suited our needs all this was met with complete professionalism. I can highly recommend Karanda Interiors and especially Toni Ford.

We are absolutely thrilled with our recent renovation of the lower floor of our home. Toni came up with the most beautiful innovative ideas for modernizing our home. Her taste is impecable and she managed to please both my husband and I ( no mean feat I have to say). Without Toni from Karanda we would still be arguing about the paint colour. We would thoroughly recommend a consultation to set you on the right track.

Toni re-designed our very open plan house to give all 5 family members more personal space (and a luxurious ensuite and WIR) whilst still creating a kitchen/living and dining area that’s commented on for its spaciousness. She literally found more space in our home. We took a few risks with Toni but they paid off and we’re really happy with our new home.

Toni assisted us to update our church building with a bold new colour scheme and décor advice. Her product knowledge is amazing and she gave us direction realising our budget restraints. We have had an ongoing relationship with her and her interior assistant Jelena who continue to give us the direction and advice we need to achieve the goals of the overall project and refurbishment. They are professional in every respect and excellent in what they do.

Be it a small or large project Toni’s passion for what she does is relentless. Karanda Interiors commands customer stratification, attention to detail and professionalism, that’s why we at Curtis construction enjoy working with Toni and her team.

I am a builder who has worked with Toni and her team for several years on renovations new homes and extensions Toni has a unique eye not only for interior colours fit out and style but also for a holistic design by working within an existing space to maximise functionality through clever design or working with owners to fine tune and spec architects designs James

We engaged Toni for the first stage of our renovations to assist with colours, curtains and blinds. Toni understood what we were trying to achieve and we absolutely love our finished rooms. Toni is now assisting with further renovations and has greatly improved our floor plan, she continues to assist us with bathroom and kitchen layouts, materials and appliances. Toni has fantastic knowledge of products and suppliers and continues to make all the difficult choices one is faced with, simple. Thank you Toni

We have used Karanda Interiors for several projects over many years so when we decided to renovate our apartment we had no hesitation in engaging their services once more. Toni is very professional and knowledgeable about what products are available and how they will look in the space. We had a problem with our bathroom layout and plumbing constraints, Toni solved the problem and the result is better than we had hoped for. When products are ordered the cost and delivery times are advised and these were met. I would recommend Toni for any project both commercial or private home

Dealing with Toni and her team from Karanda Interiors was an absolute pleasure. Toni's professionalism, her recommendations and product knowledge were instrumental in supplying me with a superior product by Verosol. These blinds not only do their job brilliantly by blocking out the sun's heat by 70%, they look stunning. I ordered Blinds, Timber Pelmets and Shutters. I am thrilled with the outcome and therefore would highly recommend Karanda Interiors to anyone who wants to deal with a truly professional and caring team that supply superior service and products. Kind Regards Kellie.

Our company has been dealing with Toni and the Karanda team for almost ten years. We commend their professionalism, excellence and design knowledge. Through consultancy on every major project we build, Toni and her team add value that contributes significantly to the overall success of the development. We look forward to continuing the great working relationship and recommend Karanda Interiors for all interior design work.

We have used Karanda interiors on several occasions and have always found Toni Ford and her team extremely professional. Toni's ability to utilise space and her knowledge of colours is exceptional. We would not hesitate to recommend Karanda Interiors to anyone.

Wow, what a truly lovely job Toni has just completed for us, she has decorated our whole apartment, furniture, bedding, lamps, prints, lounge and cushions, nothing is a problem for Toni, always keeping us updated, this is the fourth project Toni has done for us over the past 25 years. Toni always greets you with a big smile. Once again, thank you Toni

Toni is a true professional and worth every penny. Toni come onboard at the design stage of our new house build and redesigned the entire floor plan in just one meeting. She listened to what we wanted and our floor plan is incredible. She has en eye for detail and makes sure everything is perfect. Our builder then worked closely with Toni throughout the build and nothing got missed. We ended up saving money thanks to Toni because we had no mistakes or changes along the way and all the trades were clear on the end design outcome. We spent a day with Toni selecting all our PC items (bathware, kitchenware, tiles etc) and everything was perfect to our style - contemporary and modern but still homely. This was the best spent time because it was just done and we could move onto the next thing. She also come out several times during the build to do walk throughs of the house. This helped pick up any minor details or questions we had - Toni always had the answer!! I wouldnt build or renovate without Toni. She is a total wonder woman and professional.

Experience counts and it shows with karanda Interiors. Toni Ford's innovative design choices to her recommendations of a superb builder whom liased with me every step of the way . A cabinet maker whose attention to detail for my kitchen and laundry has made my daily tasks a joy. A professional and stress free renovation and under budget . Craftsmen whom are proud of their work are hard to come by . I am indeed very happy with my renovation . J powers

Renovations can be a very stressful exercise, however Toni at Karanda Interiors has provided me with constant peace of mind with her confidence, enthusiasm and excellence in all aspects of designing our new dream home. She is efficient, knowledgable and I would not ever renovate without her! Thank you!

Toni Ford from Karanda Interiors is brilliant. She summarised a new colour scheme in under an hour and gave other advice on future renovations which was exceptionally helpful.

We have used Toni on two renovations Toni is great with colours design from inside to outside from start to finish. Toni just knows how to get it right every time and it all works well with a wow factor. We will use Toni on future projects. Cheers Wayne & Michelle Hill

Toni from Karanda interiors always gets it right! She is thorough; fabulous from design to furnishings. Nothing is too much trouble for her. After sales service is Toni mantra. Karanda is my first choice every time!!

We have used Toni Ford from Karanda Interiors for several projects over the last 20 years. Her experience and knowledge with colours, textiles and design has resulted in a wonderful transformation of our home into a lovely Hampton's style beach cottage. The latest project included exterior paint/ colour change together with a new colourbond roof.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my everlasting appreciation to Toni at Karanda Interiors. I have worked with Toni for over 15 years with various projects. It is always refreshing and satisfying working with Toni as she is fully invested in the project and is so passionate about what she does. Toni works fast, she is able to interpret a brief straight away, and her attention to detail is phenomenal. Toni is more than just a decorator, she covers all aspects of Interior Design from Paint to Cabinetry colours, light fittings to Furniture selections. She goes above and beyond and brings the WOW factor to every single project she delivers on. If you are stuck on any project I would highly recommend you contact Toni, She is friendly, warm and is great to work with.

Toni has amazing knowledge of colours, fabrics and interiors styles. Her enthusiasm is infectious. She is very intuitive in working together with her clients in achieving amazing outcomes. We have been extending and renovating our home over the last 5 years and Toni has been invaluable in remapping our home to great detail including window and furniture placement - everything to the smallest detail. Nothing has been a problem for her. She has given us the confidence to get the look we were after in choosing tiles and fixtures for our bathrooms and kitchen as well as soft furnishing fabrics. We intend to continue using the services of Toni and Karanda Interiors in the future.

We have been clients of Karanda Interiors since 2001 and during this period we have renovated one home and built a new one. Toni's assistance has allowed us to maximise our design aesthetics and functionality. Toni's core trait is being able to work within the design brief whilst also providing alternative options for consideration. Our experience over the years with Toni has been wholly positive and will continue to work with her. We have recommended Toni to our family and friends.

Toni Ford and her team at Karanda have completed two projects for me over the last 15 years. Always great with suggestions , willing to listen to concerns , take feedback and spend time to find the right solution in terms of redesign of a space . Toni's ability to transform a space prior to the furnishing of the space is second to none and certainly adds value to any property. The quality of furniture and furnishings is fabulous as is Toni's access to unique accessories . I would not hesitate to recommend Karanda Interiors and to use their services in the future.

I was introduced to Karanda Interiors approximately 5 years ago when i walked into a project that i fell in love with. Everything seemed to be well planned, balanced, symmetrical and seamless. I contacted them for my next project for some consulting advice and have never looked back. Before commencing any project i spend the required time with the Karanda Design team to get the most out of my project. They are efficient, professional, accommodating, always on point and an absolute pleasure to work with. They are the secret to the quality i deliver. It is with the greatest pleasure that i give this recommendation. George Katrib Bayswater Property Group

Toni is my go to person for renovations, design and colour co-ordination. We have completed a number of renovations with her over a 15 year period starting with a large townhouse at Caringbah, a very small studio at Potts Point and a house at Leura. All projects required internal re-design. The studio was particularly challenging - it is 19 sqm, so Toni was incredibly creative with her design recommendations. The house at Leura was completely gutted internally and rebuilt over a 9 month period. Toni worked closely with my builder and trades people to achieve an amazing outcome. The work she did meant I saved on Architect fees.

Toni Ford is one of the best Interior designers in Sydney. She expertly translates your ideas into practical plans and specifies everything down to door handles to ensure you achieve your dream home. We have renovated two properties with Toni over the last 10 years and we have always achieved amazing results. I cannot recommend Toni highly enough.

Toni Ford has delivered quality high end interior design and styling to many of my clients. I was ecstatic about the results Toni achieved. She is creative and has an excellent eye for detail. Toni has definite opinions in regard to all decor related issues, she LISTENS to the client and works hard to understand the needs of the client. She is a great person and very comfortable to work with. Highly Recommended! Michael Gleeson - McGrath Estate Agents

Toni Ford is a creative genius, who works tirelessly to achieve the best results for her clients. She has the unique ability to think outside the box and come up with ideas that work! Keywords I use when describing Toni are efficient, ethical, creatively talented, inspirational, reliable and generous. I found the team at Karanda Interiors to be highly efficient, reliable, courteous and helpful. I can’t speak highly enough of Toni and her team at Karanda Interiors. I engaged the services of Toni of Karanda Interiors to give my townhouse (featured on this website) a makeover and was blown away with the result. Toni introduced me to a very reliable builder, who worked with Toni’s recommendations. Some of the suggestions included adding a wall at the end of the dining room to create a walk in pantry, out of sight behind a built-in display cabinet. Opening up the downstairs area by removing a small section of wall. Another wall was added in the bedroom allowing the layout of the bedroom to be changed and hidden cupboards installed. Not only did Toni prove that she understood my needs, she respected that I was on a budget and worked within it. I would definitely use the services of Tony Ford, Karanda Interiors again.

It's always a pleasure to work with Toni which I have on a number of projects. She has amazing insight on how things go together. Balanced design and first class quality. I look forward to working with Toni and the team at Karanda again.

We have just completed a huge home renovation. Tony has done the most amazing job with the design she totally got what we wanted to achieve. She interacted with our builder and "it can't be done" is not in her vocabulary. The house turned out so much better than I could have imagined.

Toni and her staff were pleasant and most helpful from the first time I spoke to them until completion. I am a single man and I definitely needed assistance in decorating my new home unit and the result has been outstanding. I finished up with very bright and classy decorations in my unit which I am now comfortably and happily occupying.

We have employed the professional services of Karanda Interiors for a new build ten years ago and more recently an extensive renovation of the Cronulla beach house that is featured on this site. Employing Toni Ford and her team has overwhelmingly been a positive experience. The professional advice and service is second to none and nothing is ever a problem. With both projects, Toni made changes to the interior plans that then ensured the finished home would be both beautiful and comfortably functional to live in. Toni was always available to sort out issues with the builders and other tradies, her expertise in this area definitely saved us many dollars and heartache! Karanda Interiors provides the most beautiful furnishings for your house within a price range to suit your budget. Toni's eagle eye ensures that the finished product is perfect in quality and aesthetics as well as beautifully coordinated in style and colour. We would highly recommend Karanda Interiors for taking the stress out of building and decorating and are very grateful for the outstanding professional service we have always received from Toni and her team. We love living in our home. Tracy and Greg

Karanda Interiors decorated our whole house in Lilli Pilli in 2006. Outstanding job. Toni Ford was hands on from begging to end, helping me choose everything from floor tiles, fixtures, fittings and furniture she made the process so easy and her knowledge of everything was invaluable. It was a massive build, which took 2 and a half years, but she made it stress free. When I bought an apartment in Cronulla in 2008 I employed Toni again. The apartment was basically gutted and she again came up with a fabulous new layout and decorated everything from carpet, to furniture and all the furnishings Again, an outstanding job, it looks amazing.

From the moment I stepped into Karanda Interiors and handed my house plans over to Toni Ford I knew everything was going to brilliant and she didn't prove me wrong. It was the absolute best decision I ever made. I would not have the home I have today. With over 40 years of experiece in interiors her knowledge was worth every single cent. She is highly professional and well respected in her industry. She listened to what I wanted from start to finish. My brief was to fit a family of six with a separate area for my 84 year mum on a 323 sq block of land. Not a problem she said! I booked her on the spot for the long haul to oversee the completion of my home. There are so many decisions to make from the colour of the walls to what type of oven you want. She guided me with very clever interior design and interior architecture ideas cutting out all the confusion and stress associated with building a home. Going shopping with her for kitchen appliances/ bathroom fittings/ floor coverings etc was so easy and simple. She also gave me great ideas to decorate and style my home. Toni has an extensive in house fabric/ blind and shutter library why would you go anywhere else. She maximised the limited space in my home to it's full potential. She can also custom make furniture to place in your home cutting out all the leg work. I now have a beautiful home which is functional, flows,easy to maintain and clean. Everyone is happy!!

Toni has assisted me for the past 30 years with different projects including investment properties and my own homes.. Without fail Toni and her team are consistent and supportive throughout the process which is very reassuring during sometimes a stressful time! Well done! Veronica Conroy

Toni at Karanda Interiors is absolutely incredible. Whatever vision you have in your mind - she brings it to life and makes it better than you can ever imagine. She's helped me, my family and friends with numerous properties and we could not be happier. Her renovation advice has easily added over $100k in value to our renovations and just recently she's helped us create our dream home. She works with whatever your style. I can't speak more highly of her - incredibly talented!

Toni has helped us renovate various rooms in our house over the last five years including kitchen, two bathrooms, loung/bar area. She thinks outside the square and is amazing at seeing things that others don't. Would recommend her for anything from the smallest renovation to a whole house renovation.

Used Karanda Interiors to purchase, fit and install both roller blinds and curtains. They provided excellent professional service with great advice. I am now using them to help decorate my house. Highly recommend Mitch as he is very helpful, has great expertise and is a lovely person to deal with. Thank you Mitch!!

Toni did an amazing job in reviewing our renovation plans and making changes to make the floor plan far more functional. The finishes she chose came together beautifully and she was so efficient. We were thrilled with the result.

Toni at Karanda created our dream home. From designing the plans for our renovation to helping choose furniture and accessories for our revamped home, Toni provided outstanding service at every stage. The end result is that we have a home which has exceeded our expectations in terms of liveability, style and quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Toni and Karanda to anyone looking to do a renovation, new build or simply to spruce up their home. You will not regret working with Toni! Isabella Mannix
