About
Firm Overview
With a design philosophy that slowly reveals and subtly reflects the unique personalities of its clients, Kemp Interiors has established itself as a well-known interior design firm with a stellar portfolio of both private residential projects and select commercial properties throughout the US. Since 2003, David K. Williams, Kemp Interior’s principal designer, has sought to tell the unique story inherent to an individual home and its owner - using thoughtful acquisitions, personal embellishments and elements of classic design in living, functional, creatively-inspired spaces.
Kemp Interiors has also designed for some of the nation’s most prestigious Greek organizations, creating unique residential living spaces at such colleges and universities as the University of Alabama, the Ohio State University, the University of Washington, and countless others.
The team’s collaboration is key to their successful partnerships with clients. They benefit from their varied backgrounds and are constantly learning from one another through their approach to design. Based in Columbia, SC, Kemp Interiors continues to partner with clients throughout the nation.

“People want their home to be a reflection of who they are - or want to be. It’s my job to help clients reach this goal as I serve as their personal guide in the design process. I offer you a step-by-step interior evolution that leads to an elevated and renewed sense of style for you and your home.”
