Celerie Kemble is an acclaimed American interior designer known for her spirited, eclectic approach to interiors. A graduate of Harvard University and the daughter of renowned Palm Beach designer Mimi McMakin, Celerie grew up surrounded by architecture, antiques, and distinctive interiors, experiences that shaped her instinctive appreciation for color, pattern, texture, and individuality. Today, she works between New York and Palm Beach, creating residential and commercial spaces that are deeply personal, sophisticated, and designed for comfortable living.

Her signature style brings together traditional influences with a fresh, playful sensibility. Rich layers of color, expressive patterns, tactile materials, vintage finds, and unexpected details are balanced with clean lines and practical elements, resulting in interiors that feel collected rather than overly coordinated. Whimsical, feminine, and effortlessly elegant, her work often draws on the relaxed charm of Palm Beach while incorporating the polished sophistication of Manhattan.

At the heart of Celerie Kemble’s design philosophy is the belief that a home should reflect the personality and lifestyle of the people who inhabit it. Her approach embraces individuality, comfort, and a sense of discovery, combining seemingly unexpected elements into cohesive and inviting spaces. Through her distinctive mix of classic references, modern touches, and playful character, Kemble creates interiors that feel both timeless and unmistakably personal.
