Welcome to Season 2 of The Interior Design Podcast, your go-to source for all things design, straight from the UK! I’m Hayley Roy, an Interior Designer and Entrepreneur, and I’m thrilled to be joined by my amazing co-hosts, Scarlett Mallett and Hannah Denny, my talented colleagues at Harp Design.

More about the show

This podcast is created by designers, for designers—and for anyone who values great design in their lives.

We’re here to keep it real, with passionate discussions, bold opinions, and yes, the occasional swear word or cheeky innuendo!

Our goal? To make learning about design both informative and enjoyable. Each episode is packed with practical tips, expert insights, and some laughs along the way.

We’re not just a podcast anymore! The Interior Design Podcast now has a visual twist—check out A Day in the Life of a Designer on YouTube. Dive behind the scenes with us as we showcase the real-life hustle and creativity of being an interior designer.

So, whether you’re tuning in or watching along, make sure to subscribe to both our podcast and YouTube channel for double the design inspiration. We’ve got so much to share, and we can’t wait for you to join us!
