The Studio
Welcome to HLC Studio, where elevated design meets functionality. We create interiors that feel collected – blending new and old harmoniously to tell a story. While our full-service interior design firm is based in California and Idaho, we travel all over the United States for projects.
​
Our unique philosophy is inspired by the romanticism found in European culture blended with natural materials and charm found in the country lifestyle – the balance of sophistication and comfort.
Meet Hayley
From an early age, Hayley Chavez was immersed in the world of design. As the daughter of an architectural designer, she spent her childhood walking job sites, absorbing the intricacies of craftsmanship, and developing a deep appreciation for the details that turn a house into a home.
Her career began in construction, where she honed invaluable skills—mastering project management, budgeting, procurement, and team leadership. But her true passion always lay in the artistry of interior design. After years of working behind the scenes in the building industry, she took a leap of faith, channeling her expertise into transforming spaces with both beauty and function. In 2020, HLC Studio was born, blending her technical knowledge with her refined design sensibility to create homes that feel effortlessly curated yet deeply personal.
​
With a keen eye for timeless materials, layered textures, and thoughtful details, Hayley designs spaces that are as livable as they are elegant. Her approach is collaborative and intuitive, ensuring that each home is not only visually stunning but also reflective of the people who live in it.
When she’s not designing, Hayley finds inspiration in California’s landscapes, horseback riding, wine country escapes, time with her family, and travels to the Pacific Northwest and East Coast—each experience enriching her love for curated, lived-in luxury.
