Interior Designers in Bristol

Design Seven is an interior design studio based at Wick, on the eastern edge of Bristol. We design and dress show homes for housebuilders and property developers across the UK, and we take on private residential work and window treatments for homes in Bristol, Bath and the surrounding counties.

The studio is director-led. Creative direction sits with Paul Garland, a BIID Registered Designer, and the person who runs your scheme is the person you speak to. There is no account layer between the two.

What we do

Show homes for developers. Full delivery from concept to launch day: design direction, space planning, lighting, finishes, furniture, accessories and final dressing, coordinated as one programme. We have delivered show homes for Bloor Homes, Crest Nicholson, YTL Developments, Barratt Homes, Riverdale Developments, Roffey Homes, Newland Homes and Stonewood Homes.

Private residential interiors. Whole-house schemes and single rooms for homeowners in and around Bristol, including new build owners who have moved into an empty house and want it resolved properly rather than filled.

Window treatments. Made to measure curtains and blinds, measured, specified and installed. This is the part of a house most often left until last and most often got wrong, and it is one of the quickest things to fix in a room that is not working.

Working in Bristol and the South West

The studio is at Greenway Farm on the Bath Road at Wick, which puts us between Bristol and Bath and about twenty minutes from the centre of either. We work across Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, and nationally on developer projects.

Some of our work is close to home. The Coanda at Brabazon for YTL Developments sits on the former Filton airfield, where Concorde was built. That home leans on bespoke joinery and a hand painted mural, held together by an open plan ground floor that had to read clearly the moment you walked in. At Netherton Grange in Nailsea we designed The Evesham for Crest Nicholson, a three bed semi built around cobalt blue, warm ochre and soft neutrals, with the strong colour moments balanced against clean lines so the rooms stay composed.

Other projects take us further. Meadow Gate for Roffey Homes in Angmering, The Nestle Apartments for Barratt London at Hayes Village, and Chimes, a penthouse in central London for Pegasus Homes.

How we work

Every project starts with the building and the brief rather than a mood board. We resolve the space plan, circulation and sightlines first, because a room that is arranged badly cannot be rescued by what goes into it. Colour, material and finishes are then set as one language across the house so the scheme holds together from the hallway to the back bedroom.

Specification is disciplined. Materials are chosen for how they will look after a year of use, not just on the day they arrive. Measurement, procurement, delivery and installation are coordinated by us, and we are there on install rather than sending a schedule and hoping.

The standard is the same whether the client is a national housebuilder or a family in a house in Bristol. The home should read clearly, photograph cleanly and feel believable in person.

Talk to us

If you are a developer with a scheme coming up, or a homeowner with a house or a room that is not working, we would like to hear about it.
