The Designer

A life of beauty, curiosity, and collecting.

For Claire Sellers Menna, beautiful interiors have always been about more than how a room looks. They are about how a life is lived, the stories we carry, and the things we choose to surround ourselves with.

An entrepreneur and lifelong traveler, Claire spent more than a decade in New York before setting off on a journey across six continents, discovering the beauty of different cultures, traditions, and ways of living. From the romance of European antiques to the textures and craftsmanship found in markets around the world, those experiences shaped her belief that the most beautiful homes are collected, not simply decorated.

Now based in Charleston, South Carolina, Claire's aesthetic marries old-world European elegance with the softness and ease of coastal living. Think gilded mirrors, timeworn antiques, delicate florals, natural linens, and rooms that feel as though they've evolved beautifully over generations.

Her philosophy is simple: a home should be as interesting, layered, and entirely individual as the life unfolding within it.

"The most beautiful homes don't just reflect good taste. They reflect a life beautifully lived."
