Customer Spotlight: Suzanne Dell Designs – A Legacy of Timeless Design with Padma’s Plantation
At Padma’s Plantation, we believe that great design tells a story, and few tell it as beautifully as Suzanne Dell, an extraordinary interior designer whose 55-year career has left an indelible mark on Houston, TX and beyond. For many years, Suzanne has been a valued partner, incorporating our sustainable, handcrafted furniture into her stunning projects. This Customer Spotlight celebrates her remarkable journey, her eclectic approach to design, and the enduring relationship we’ve built together.
A Storied Career Rooted in Passion
Suzanne Dell began her interior design career in 1970, bringing her creative vision to homes and spaces across Houston. For the past 23 years, she has thrived as an independent designer, channeling her expertise into crafting interiors that are as functional as they are beautiful. “Residential is my main priority, and it has always led to commercial design,” Suzanne shares. Her ability to seamlessly blend the personal and professional has made her a trusted name in the industry, with a clientele that spans Houston and extends to second homes in New Orleans, Colorado Springs, and Florida.
Suzanne’s work is defined by her eclectic style, a hallmark of her ability to transcend trends and time periods. “I’m an eclectic designer with a passion for all looks and not bound into one look or one time period,” she explains. “I embrace all aspects of design to capture the taste and personality of my clients. My goal is to make the home a reflection of their likes and family functions.” This client-centered philosophy has earned her a loyal following, with projects that range from cozy family homes to sophisticated commercial spaces.
Crafting Homes That Reflect Lives
Suzanne’s design process is deeply personal. She listens intently to her clients, weaving their stories, preferences, and lifestyles into every detail of her work. Whether she’s designing a primary residence in Houston’s vibrant neighborhoods or a vacation home in the serene landscapes of Colorado Springs, Suzanne ensures that each space is a true reflection of its inhabitants. Her ability to balance aesthetics with functionality has made her a go-to designer for clients seeking spaces that feel both timeless and uniquely their own.
Her projects often feature Padma’s Plantation furniture, which aligns perfectly with her commitment to quality and individuality. Our handcrafted pieces, made from sustainable materials like bamboo, rattan, and reclaimed wood, provide the perfect canvas for Suzanne’s eclectic vision. From our signature wicker chairs to our versatile teak dining tables, or outdoor woven sectionals. Suzanne incorporates our furniture to add warmth, texture, and character to her designs. Our craftsmanship and unique aesthetic designs, paired with her interior and exterior design expertise, allow her to create spaces that feel both organic and luxurious.

Suzanne’s work in Houston and its surrounding areas has made her a local icon, but her influence extends far beyond Texas. Her second-home projects in New Orleans, Colorado Springs, and Florida showcase her ability to adapt to diverse aesthetics and environments. From the vibrant, historic charm of New Orleans to the airy, open spaces of Florida’s coast, Suzanne’s designs capture the essence of each location while staying true to her clients’ personalities.
