Hayward Design House was founded on the belief that interior design should reflect the unique personality and lifestyle of each client. Led by Susan Hayward and her daughter, Jillian Hayward Schaible, the firm is dedicated to uncovering the distinctive tastes and preferences of every client we serve.

Whether a residential sanctuary or a bustling commercial property, we approach each project with a keen understanding of the space’s requirements and a blueprint for how to achieve an impactful transformation. Our goal extends beyond creating visually appealing environments; we prioritize functionality and efficiency in every design endeavor. Drawing inspiration from the neuroscience of design, a trademark of our design is the integration of elements such as natural light, greenery, and organic textures to evoke positive emotions and enhance well-being.

Welcome to Hayward Design House, where every space tells a unique story of style and comfort.

Susan Hayward

Susan Hayward is an award-winning interior designer, member of the American Society of Interior Designers and International and Furnishings Design Association, and CAPS certified by the National Association of Home Builders. Before entering the interior design industry, Susan worked in the public relations and development field for many years after graduating from Boston University. After her son was born, Susan left her public relations position and she and her husband, Everett, started a photography business in the basement of their home. When Hayward Photography was well on its way to success, Susan decided it was time for her to pursue her true passion: interior design. She went back to school, where she studied rehabilitation counseling. She focused her initial interior design work on downsizing, and the principles of form following function that she gained from her work at the time has become a mainstay of her business today. In 2006, started her own design firm, Susan Hayward Interiors.

Nearly two decades later, Susan remains motivated and excited by the opportunity to create beautiful spaces for her clients. She thinks of interior design as a giant puzzle, where all the pieces need to fit together to form the perfect space. Whether designing for commercial or residential, her process is all about great communication, working together, and creating something beautiful.

Jillian Hayward Schaible

Jillian Hayward Schaible is a renowned member of the American Society of Interior Designers and partner of Susan Hayward Interiors. In a similar fashion to her mother and mentor, Susan Hayward, Jillian took a very unconventional path to become a designer. With her husband working as a helicopter pilot for the US Navy, it took a few moves and career changes before she could finally find a career that not only works for her lifestyle but that she loves.

Jillian attended Boston University where she received a B.A. in marine science and a minor in French language and literature. After graduation, she moved to Florida to work as a zookeeper, before ultimately moving to Boston. For a few years, Jillian had been working part-time with Susan Hayward Interiors to help with the growing interior design business. During this time, she fell in love with the industry and what she was able to create for the firm’s clients. As a result, she decided to enroll in an interior design program at the New York Institute of Art & Design and committed to a new career that she loved. Now a full-time interior designer, Jillian is passionate about working with clients to help them visualize and achieve the spaces they envision, with both beauty and practicality. With her unique perspective as a military spouse, she understands how important it is to truly make a home feel like home.
