Personal Art

A framed photo, a favorite book, a keepsake from a trip, none of it matches, and that’s the point. The best design feels like it grew with you, not like it arrived all at once.

Interior Design

Every shelf tells a story. Books we’ve loved, moments we’ve framed, and small treasures that remind us who we are. When design holds memory, a simple niche becomes the heart of a home.

About Kerry Clare

Kerry Clare Designs provides residential interior design and interior design consultation in Greenville, South Carolina. Kerry’s aesthetic is grounded in authenticity, comfort, and connection. She believes every home should reflect the people who live there, not passing trends or perfection. Whether you need direction for one room or support shaping an entire home, she creates spaces layered with warmth, texture, and meaning. By blending cherished pieces with thoughtful new additions, reimagining awkward corners, and styling what clients already love, Kerry designs interiors that feel functional, calm, deeply personal, and beautifully livable. Her philosophy is simple: beauty should feel attainable, not intimidating.

With 27 years of experience, Kerry has honed an intuitive approach to design that balances creativity with practicality. She helps clients make confident choices, encouraging them to invest wisely, one room at a time, without compromising on comfort or style. Her projects — from new builds to well-loved homes — reflect a lifetime of craftsmanship, adaptability, and genuine care. Kerry’s experience allows her to blend function and feeling seamlessly, guiding each client toward a home that looks beautiful, works beautifully, and feels entirely their own.

One of my favorite things is to take my clients items that tell stories of their travels or time in life, and curating memorable displays.

AS FEATURED ON

Recent Project

Paris Mountain Retreat

I chose this D.R. Horton home for its proximity to Greenville’s arts and entertainment, shopping, and restaurants, as well as endless things to do nearby—from Falls Park to the Swamp Rabbit Trail— all just five miles from downtown and minutes from Travelers Rest. I love hiking the trails on Paris Mountain, and being close to the airport makes business travel simple. I wanted a home that feels comfortable and self-contained, with a small yard that’s easy to care for, so I can lock up and go when I travel.

"I highly recommend Kerry Clare for her exceptional design expertise in reimagining living spaces. Kerry’s approach to interior design is both creative and practical, blending bold statement elements—such as feature walls and unique lighting—with a harmonious mix of textures and colors. Her ability to balance masculine and feminine energy in a room results in spaces that feel both inviting and sophisticated. For my dining room, Kerry provided thoughtful guidance on layout, furniture selection, and decorative accents. She emphasized the importance of scale and proportion, ensuring that the central dining table, seating, and lighting all work together seamlessly. Her recommendations for incorporating art, layered lighting, and functional decor have truly elevated the atmosphere of my dining area. Kerry’s attention to detail and her talent for personalizing spaces make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a room redesign. I am delighted with the transformation and grateful for her vision and professionalism."

"I’ve been a client of Kerry’s for over 25 years. She has the most amazing ability to look at a room/home/office or outdoor space and morph and maximize the area in such a stylish and attractive way it truly is a gift. She has assisted me with many of my real estate clients and they all have been very pleased with her work. She took my very vanilla personal residence and turned it into a showplace. Her vision is spot on. Kerry is decisive, frugal, visionary and timely. She has a crew of loyal tradesmen that respect her for her incredible knowledge of their craft. They are loyal, knowledgeable and on time. They realize if they want to have the benefit of her jobs she has high expectations of their work. Kerry is an excellent project manager. Anyone would be fortunate to work with Kerry and I look forward to the next opportunity to do so. Truly."

"Kerry Clare has designed four of my homes over the years, and each one has felt like a fresh reflection of where I was in life — while still feeling completely me. She has an incredible talent for seeing what should stay and what should evolve. Many of the same furnishings have traveled with us from house to house, but Kerry always manages to reimagine them in new ways, layering in just the right pieces to suit the architecture and mood of each home. Working with Kerry is like collaborating with a close friend who also happens to have a brilliant eye. She listens, she refines, and somehow she always finds that perfect balance between comfort, beauty, and surprise. Every space she’s touched for us has its own personality — yet there’s an unmistakable thread of warmth and style that ties them all together. I trust Kerry completely; she doesn’t just design spaces, she creates homes that tell our story — over and over again, in new and beautiful ways."
