Interior Designer in Harborne
Good Bones, Made for the Way You Live.
Harborne is a lovely part of Birmingham to make your home. There is a strong run of Victorian and Edwardian property here, plenty of Arts and Crafts character, and at its heart the Moor Pool estate, a garden suburb of around 500 homes built for a better way of living and a conservation area since 1970. Good bones, bay windows and proper gardens, and very often a rear extension or two that someone got a bit wrong along the way. Whatever you have, the question is the same: how do we make the most of it for the way you live now?
The best projects here happen when we do them together. You know how you want to live, what you love about your home and what quietly drives you mad about it. We bring the eye, the technical know-how and the team to make it happen. The homes we are proudest of always come out of that back and forth, so we ask plenty of questions and we want you involved the whole way. It works best as a proper partnership.
A lot of Harborne homes are hiding something good under decades of changes. Andy spent over twenty years on the technical side of commercial buildings before moving into interiors, so he can read how the original was built, which of the later additions are worth keeping, and where the structure will let you open up to the garden. Sorting that out early is what turns a tired layout into something that finally works for you.
Chapter Seven Design is led by Andy and Joe Smith, with a trusted team of trades and makers behind every project. On a family home you are still living in, Joe is the one who keeps everything moving and easy on you, so the months of work feel organised and, honestly, good to be part of. The people you meet at the start are the people who see it through.
We take on full home renovations in Harborne and focused work on the rooms that matter most, kitchens especially. We also work nearby in Edgbaston and across the Midlands, so we know the area and how its best homes are put together.
If you have a Harborne home you would love to get right, bring us your ideas. We would love to hear them.
