Hi, I’m Hayley
Interior Designer
Bachelor of Interior Architecture (UTS)
I’m a Sydney based interior designer, renovator and content creator with a slightly obsessive interest in the details that make a home look and feel good to live in.
After years working in interior design, I’ve learnt that good design isn’t just about having great taste or choosing beautiful things. It’s understanding the decisions behind them, and all the little details that bring a space together.
I share that knowledge online to help you make better design decisions for your own home without making design feel complicated or completely out of reach.
Projects
Rushcutters Bay Apartment
Completed 2025
Our first renovation was a Sydney apartment that became the testing ground for so many of the ideas I now share online. I designed it from the ground up, balancing the constraints of apartment living with a love of natural materials, colour and considered details.
It was also where I experienced the renovation process from both sides, as an interior designer and as the person actually living through it.
Sydney Terrace House
Under Construction
We’re currently renovating our second home, a Victorian terrace in Sydney.
This time, I’m documenting the entire process in real time, from plans and construction drawings to materials, budgets, site progress and all the decisions in between.
I’m sharing what I know as an interior designer, what I’m learning as a renovator, and the reality of bringing the whole thing to life.
Work with Hayley
I partner with considered brands across interiors, renovation, home and lifestyle to create useful, design-led content that combines professional interior design expertise with genuine product experience.
From social content and product integration to campaigns, events and longer-term partnerships, I’m interested in working with brands that genuinely align with my design approach, audience and the way I live.
