Welcome to the ‘If These Walls Could Talk’ podcast by Rachel Usher. I am an accomplished Interior Designer and solopreneur, having built my design practice from nothing into an an award winning and published studio.
During my journey I found the business side of interiors to be secretive and largely conducted from behind the curtain, leaving business owners like myself grappling with the unique complexities of running a design business, having to learn many things through trial and error.
Well here’s the thing, it doesn’t have to be that way!
This show is designed for design professionals. Together, with our guests we demystify the business of Interiors. This is the place where we hear from the personal experiences of some incredible people that work within the design industry, from entrepreneurs to business experts. Together we unravel some of those truth tales about what it really means, to not only survive, but to thrive in the creative world of business.

In this episode of If These Walls Could Talk, I sit down with Helen Bygraves and Jenny Weiss, the visionary duo behind Hill House Interiors. From starting as friends with a shared love of design to building a globally recognised studio with offices in London and Dubai, Helen and Jenny share their journey of nearly three decades in the luxury interiors world.
We talk about navigating friendship and business, the organic growth of their studio, the value of investing in photography and PR, building strong in-house teams, and the challenges of scaling a design business internationally. Their insights into procurement, marketing, and running large-scale projects are invaluable for designers at every stage of their career.
This is a conversation filled with humour, wisdom, and a rare honesty about what it really takes to sustain a thriving interior design practice.
