Luxury Interior Design in the Midlands
Interiors shaped around the way you live.
Not refreshed. Not redecorated. Transformed, where walls move, layouts change, and the home you end up with barely resembles the one you started with.
That kind of project needs more than a designer with a good eye. It needs someone who understands the building itself: the structure, the services, the technical constraints that shape every decision before a single finish is specified.
Andy brings that. With a background in building services engineering and architectural technology, he works at the intersection of how a home is built and how it should feel to live in. Joe brings the clarity, structure and calm oversight that keep a complex project on track from first conversation to final handover.
Together, we are Chapter Seven Design. Based in the East Midlands, working on homes that deserve to be thought about properly.
Founded in 2015. Founder-led ever since.
A decade of full residential renovations, every one of them led personally by the two of us. The studio is supported by a long-established network of trades, contractors and specialist suppliers we know and trust, but the design, the decisions and the relationship rest with the founders throughout.
Nothing about your home is delegated to someone you have not met.
Every part of the home, designed together.
Spatial planning. Joinery. Lighting. Finishes. Furnishings. Final styling. We take a single brief through to a completed home, coordinating every trade and specialist along the way.
It’s work that depends on understanding the building as much as the design. Knowing how a home is put together, what its structure will allow, and which decisions need to be made early. That grounding is what lets us design a home where every part holds together, and where the people living in it feel looked after at every stage.
A home is a place you live in every day. Every decision we make is shaped by that.
Every part of the home, designed together.
A full-home renovation is the biggest project most people will ever take on. It is not only a financial commitment. It is months of decisions, disruption and trust, and a home you will live in for years afterwards. We do not take that lightly.
From the first conversation, our intention is the same. To handle the whole thing. Spatial planning, joinery, lighting, finishes, furnishings, final styling and the coordination of every trade in between. Our job is to make sure that the months of getting there feel calm, organised and properly looked after, even when the project itself is anything but.
We also take on smaller projects, where the brief is more focused and the scope sits within a single part of the home.
A decade of homes.
A selection of recent projects across the Midlands.

“Design expertise that reimagines the way a home can live.”
Andy and Joe were incredibly patient, guiding us through the entire design process with no fuss, Always calm, thoughtful, and focused on providing a solution.
We had already drafted initial plans for our open-plan kitchen-diner, but Andy helped us completely reimagine the space.
He proposed a new layout that we simply hadn’t considered and the transformation was beyond anything we expected. The end result is beautifully resolved, with a level of detail and design finesse that has completely elevated our home.
