Interiors Insider
Through her innovative new coaching program, Interior Designer, Kylie Tyrrell is pulling back the curtain on the business of Interior Design and empowering other women to succeed in the industry – unheard of, right!
In a competitive industry like interior design, it isn’t often someone invites you to look behind the scenes of their business. But through her new mentorship program for aspiring and established designers, Kylie Tyrrell of Goldchalk Design Studio is sharing everything she knows.
“I crave connection – and as a female running her own business, I wanted to connect with other women in the industry and collaborate and learn from them,” she says. “But the industry can be a little prickly and sharing isn’t something that’s done very well. I wanted to change that.”
The Melbourne-based interior designer started her design business over a decade ago as a real estate stylist, before diversifying into helping clients style their new builds and renovations. But these days she’s focusing on her mentoring program, which aims to demystify the process of setting up a design business and provide people with the tools they need to succeed in an evolving market. “I’m teaching things you don't get taught in design school – the things that took me 12 years to learn on my own,” says Kylie.
Her course, Interiors Insider, is a 12-month group-coaching experience that promises to “elevate your design business and get you booking clients”. With monthly Q+A sessions and online modules covering practical skills like systems and processes, pricing, branding, marketing, social media, networking, moodboard creation and communicating with clients, it also delves into the importance of mindset and aims to boost the confidence of its participants.
“If talent and skill were the only things you needed in your wheelhouse to run a wildly successful and soul-filling business, we would all be doing it, right?!”

The beauty of the program lies in the diversity of the participants and their willingness to share and learn together. An exclusive Facebook group and in-person events provide a safe space for women to ask questions without judgement and truly connect. “I got sick of looking for a group that didn't exist, so I decided to be brave and create my own,” Kylie explains of her new direction. “It's such a leap of faith – moving away from a successful design business into the unknown – but, deep in my gut, I know the industry needs this.”
