Our story

Two sisters.
One ocean of inspiration.

Esmee and Demi — the twin sisters behind House of Shells

Esmee + Demi · The Netherlands

House of Shells started as a quiet experiment between two twin sisters — a way to slow down, work with our hands, and share the kind of art that holds a feeling.

We grew up dreaming in pairs. Today we paint in pairs. Every canvas we make is composed together: shells gathered, colors chosen, brushes traded back and forth. What leaves our studio isn't one piece — it's a Sister Piece, made twice, for everyone who loves the idea of a perfect match.

We pull our worlds from the stories that shaped us — fairytales, films, music, summers we can't forget — and translate them into soft pinks, sea blues, fairy gold and quiet greens.

Inspired by the worlds we love.

The Twin Signature

Every piece carries our quiet mark:
two golden stars, in opposite corners.

One star for each sister. A small secret only collectors know — and our promise that the piece was made by both of us, together.
