Kelley Proxmire’s lifelong passion for interior design began in her parents’ living room. In her pre-teen years she was fascinated by the transformation worked on the room by an interior designer. “I would sit for hours,” recalls Proxmire, “studying the fabric mix, the scale of the furniture, the interplay of color. When everyone else bought Seventeen, I was buying House Beautiful.” She went on to immerse herself in the rooms of classic design greats such as Billy Baldwin, Mark Hampton, Frances Elkins, and Michael Taylor. These influences laid the foundation for a style defined by what is beautiful and enduring.

In her 20-year career Proxmire has developed a matchless eye for crafting what she describes as “tailored traditional” interiors. Her projects suffuse warmth and hospitality while maintaining excellent balance, proportion and scale. Her love of color is combined with an appreciation for the fresh sophistication of white and the daring elegance of black. Adept at mixing traditional pieces with unexpected finds, Proxmire creates environments that are attuned to the client’s world and faithful to the architecture and setting of a home.

Proxmire has participated in over 17 show houses since 2001. She has garnered repeated national coverage for her contributions to the Washington Design Center's Design Houses, as well as those benefiting local charities such as Women’s Committee of the National Symphony Orchestra and Children’s Hospital. These projects, as well as residential projects throughout the Eastern Seaboard, have been showcased in publications such as Southern Accents, Traditional Home, Washington Spaces, Washingtonian, and Washington Home and Design. Proxmire was inducted into the Washington Design Center Hall of Fame in 2009.
