Studio Mintelier is a Buckinghamshire-based interior design studio working across London, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and beyond.

We believe good design should quietly support everyday life. Our interiors balance beauty and practicality, shaped around the people who live in them and designed to feel purposeful, personal and effortless.

We favour quality, longevity and thoughtful restoration, sourcing responsibly wherever possible. Whether transforming a single room or an entire home, our aim is to create spaces that feel authentic and considered.

Catherine Chan-Murphy, founder of Studio Mintelier, a Buckinghamshire-based interior design studio.

I’ve always been drawn to homes that feel authentic and personal - spaces that tell a story and reflect the people who dwell in them. I believe in helping people discover their design personality, rather than imposing a particular style. That’s what led me to found Studio Mintelier.

My professional journey, from music management to interior design, has shaped a pragmatic, thoughtful way of working. I enjoy bringing together ideas, details and different perspectives to find solutions that feel both considered and true to the people they are designed for.

Having grown up in Hong Kong and now calling Britain home, I’m drawn to the quiet restraint and sense of flow often found in East Asian design, alongside the warmth, character and layered sensibility of British interiors. Together, they continue to influence my approach to creating homes that feel individual, balanced and effortless to live in.
