Xanda is inspired by my own name—short for Alexander—and reflects the personal connection I bring to every project. As the founder and lead designer behind Xanda Interior Design, I work one-on-one with each client, offering a highly tailored and collaborative experience from start to finish.
Personal Bio
Interior design is deeply personal, and great outcomes come from truly understanding how you live, what inspires you, and what makes a space feel like home.
As a Design Institute of Australia Accredited Designer, I combine professional expertise with a one-on-one approach, so you won’t be passed between teams. You work directly with me, ensuring clear communication, creative cohesion, and a design process that is thoughtful, considered, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
Behind the scenes, I’m supported by my wife and my son, Leo, whose encouragement and belief in me allow me to focus fully on the creative side of every project. Their love and support give me the freedom to think boldly, explore ideas deeply, and design homes that are not just beautiful, but truly meaningful for the people who live in them.

Integrity in Every Detail
I’m honest, reliable, and transparent in how I work. I deliver on my promises, communicate clearly, and always act in your best interest.
Stunning new kitchen
“Alex recently helped us with a complete kitchen renovation, and extension to include a butlers pantry. The scope of the project was extensive, and quite overwhelming. Alex was there with the right advice and guidance to clarify our options, and ultimately, to collaborate with us to produce the best design. If you want a beautiful, practical and well built kitchen, call Alex Stone.”
~ Paul, Roseville
A keen eye for detail
"Right from the outset, Alex’s can do attitude and excellent design advice made us feel comfortable and confident in our selection of Xanda. We were planning for a total renovation of our existing kitchen and powder room. Alex understood our requirements and developed a design that completely matched our new look. His 3D formats allowed us to visually imagine how it would look within our space. Alex went over and above the scope by managing the installation of the kitchen while we were overseas to ensure everything was perfect."
~ Jo-anne, Mosman
Dream kitchen and living space
“Alex brings exceptional design expertise and flair coupled with great communication skills to his projects. He listened intently to our needs, and created a design that we would never have contemplated if left to our own devices. We are very happy and satisfied clients and have no hesitation in recommending his fantastic service and expertise. Thanks Alex for creating our dream kitchen and living space! ”
~ Nicole, Five Dock

~ Heidi, Narraweena
Amazing to partner with
"Alex has helped us design a number of key areas in our home, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, a laundry and internal cabinetry. Throughout the design process he was highly professional, took the time to really understand our wants and turn them into beautiful creations. He pleasantly and patiently dealt with my indecision and helped effectively guide me to come to our final design decisions. We highly recommend him!"
