True style isn’t copied,
it’s uncovered.
A well-designed home reflects the layered, lived-in essence of the people who inhabit it, and the structure that holds them.
Founded by interior designer Kimberly Dean, Esme brings together two branches—the Studio and the Galerie—under one name and a shared philosophy: that good design is both expressive and approachable.
The Galerie is Esme’s retail expression, a curated collection of home decor that blends the refined with the expressive. From sculptural accents to functional pieces, each item is selected to help people build layered, personal interiors.
The Studio provides full-service interior design for legacy homes, the places where traditions take hold and memories are made. Every project is one of a kind, drawn from the soul of the property, familiar yet anything but ordinary.
THE SPIRIT OF ESME
A lived-in table. A crease-free cloth pulled from a drawer. A home that feels as good as it looks because it was created with care, not performance.
This perspective comes from Kimberly’s grandmother, Esme, whose name the firm carries. Esme moved through life with a steady assurance. Her home was simple, thoughtful, and welcoming. She didn’t decorate to impress but to create comfort. That sense of ease and clarity continues to inform our work today.
