I would highly recommend anyone looking for an interior designer who brings creativity but designs something that fits YOU and your style. I took on a renovation project with a 1989 RV that had a very short turnaround time. Susan and Jill were excited to accept this unique challenge and strategically started working with my budget to evolve their creativity to fit my style and taste. Not only do Susan and Jill have excellent taste and resources, they know where to find the right products and materials. From adhesive backsplash to fun color palettes and flooring recommendations that made even the 150 sq. ft space look open and welcoming! They led me in new and different directions that provided beautiful solutions all the while making sure it was "on-the-go" friendly! Susan is just as polished and professional as her vibrant portfolio suggests–with a great sense of style, a keen eye for detail, and first-rate customer service. I can't thank SHI enough. :) **★★★★★ — Blue Yoga Swampscott, Aug. 2020** > This dynamic mother daughter duo are excellent interior designers! > They are a joy to work with! They just completed a full bath project and we are on to my den now. > My daughter is even using them to redesign her apartment to accommodate her work from home situation. > They listen, understand your needs and customize your project. **★★★★★ — Peter and Hinda Drotch, Aug. 2020** > Susan was the lead person to help us rebuild master bathrooms from the studs out in our home and, a few years later, in a townhouse when we downsized this year, They were projects which required design and procurement services and coordination with trades people, most of whom did work for us for many years and with whom she was unfamiliar, and others from her extensive list of specialized craftspeople. The projects were complex and for the townhouse it required working during the current virus shutdowns and the issues on access, timing and acquisition of needed supplies. In addition, Susan provided interior design and decorating services as we needed to adapt our existing furnishings to a smaller unit and needed to acquire new things due to size and floor plan limitations. In all, she was equally professional, supportive and respectful of our views and our budget. **★★★★★ — Justin, July 2020** > Susan Hayward Interiors completed a full office renovation for our firm. They had great vision for the space and were able to coordinate all of the vendors with ease! > > We are using them for all our our interior decorating at our home and vacation house as well and even a remote work space! They have been great at finding pieces that coordinate well with the spaces we have to work with and what companies to look towards for each project. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — sweetpea2812, June 2020** > Jill and Susan were fantastic to work with. They were extremely professional, timely, and attentive. It was so much fun designing our new home. Any problems we had with furniture was handled immediately. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I’ve already referred friends. I highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Nancy Piesco, June 2020** > I worked with Susan on several designs projects in my home. Susan always has wonderful ideas and presents several options. She will offer her talented professional advice, but always respect your taste, style and budget. Susan is extremely responsive to phone calls, texts and emails. We had an issue with a vendor and Susan and her time went right to work to resolve it. The vendor actually reproduced the product and issued us a discount. > As wonderful as a designer Susan is, she’s even a better person. She is kind, understanding, warm and compassion. Nothing is ever an issue and you never feel like you are bothering her. > We are thrilled wIth our completed projects and will definitely work with Susan again in the future. I highly recommend you bless yourself with her talents and warmth. **★★★★★ — Eleven Eleven Group of Companies, Feb. 2020** > Susan was great with our kitchen remodel. She put up with all my peculiar tendencies and was an excellent resource. We are using her again for another project in the same home. **★★★★★ — Kate Alexander, July 2018** > I would highly recommend Susan to anyon looking for interior design help. She was very knowlegeable, professional, and was able to transform our downstairs into a fresh new beaurtiful space that reflects our lifestyle perfectly. **★★★★★ — Lucia Vanasse, May 2018** > My husband and I met with Susan and were extremely satisfied with her home interior design consultation. Susan was very knowledgeable, professional and especially attentive to our many questions. We would definitely recommend Susan. **★★★★★ — Greg, Dec. 2017** > Susan helped me redecorate my daughter's bedroom and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I am not a very creative guy, so having her input was extremely helpful. She had a bunch of really good ideas to get me started and to see the room in different ways. It is a 10'x11' space, but Susan found just the right sized furniture that my daughter (10 yo) loves. It's stylish, but really functional. And her assistant Jillian dealt with the furniture companies which helped a lot! I look forward to working with them to redecorate the rest of my condo. **★★★★★ — D. deMello Fine Building and Woodworking, Dec. 2017** > Susan Hayward is and excellent design professional. > Susan always takes into consideration the clients ideas, style, & end goals, when creating her design for each and every project. We have worked with Susan many of times, and & we also appreciate that Susan also knows how to interact with my entire team of contractors, and is always open to new thoughts, views, ideas, and opinions that each professional may have based on past experiences or projects, Her ability to work well with others ensures that we will achieve the most accurate and beautiful design for our clients projects. Over the years we have referred, and worked with many Design professionals, but hands down no one can compare to Susan Hayward Interiors design skills, ability to work with others, and customer service. Congrats again on a great year Susan, we look forward to working with you on all of our projects coming up in 2017. > > Best > Matt deMello > D. J. deMello Custom Building & Woodworking. **★★★★★ — Marilyn Gilboy, Dec. 2016** > Susan Hayward is a fine professional woman of integrity. She answers calls and texts promptly and is responsive and helpful in various situations. Susan is on hand to inspect furniture when it is delivered and available to address any issues that may arise. ## Selected projects - [Cozy English Country Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cozy-english-country-home-pj-vj~4269267) -

Where can I get it? Thanks much. A: The draperies are custom made using Lee Jofa Fabric Nolita Aqua/Celery! **Q: Wine cooler** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me please what kind of glass (simple or starphire? Thickness? Insulated?) was used for this cooler? What kind of a sealant was used in between the pieces of glass? Does the cabinet require a ventilation system to keep glass from fogging up? Thank you in advance. A: What you need, and what you can probably do without on your wedding registry! **Q: size of this ottoman please** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is 42”x42” **Q: where can I purchase this chair with the Lee Jofa fabric** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The fabric is a hand blocked print available through Lee Jofa and is on a Lee Jofa chair. It is a custom piece available through trade services. I would be happy to work with you on it if you are interested. Where are you located? **Q: please tell me about the inverted pendant ceiling lamp** *(in Photo Questions)* A: As you can see from the picture, this light also is suspended by wire as a semi-flush mount as you describe the light you are planning to introduce. As long as the bulbs are hidden and the suspension is visually attractive I would think a seashell version of this light would be a beautiful design! **Q: Do you know how the Bashian rug held up?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Since it has some viscose in it I would only recommend it for low traffic areas such as this dining room. It has held up well with light to moderate use. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
