Bozeman & Big Sky, Montana
Gilded Cage
Interiors of warmth, weight, and quiet — for residences that demand more than the ordinary.
The Philosophy
A space should make you feel like your most refined self.
The name Gilded Cage is intentional. Your home should feel like the most beautiful place you have ever been captive to — utterly luxurious, deeply personal, impossible to leave.
Ashley Michèlle Klaus brings an instinct for beauty that no classroom can teach. Working exclusively in Bozeman and Big Sky, she curates furnishings, textiles, and objects that feel as though they could only belong in your specific space — nothing more, nothing less.
Every project begins with listening. The result is always an interior that feels earned, considered, and unmistakably yours.

Services
Residential InteriorsFull-home and room-by-room furnishings for primary residences in Bozeman. From sourcing one-of-a-kind statement pieces to building a cohesive palette of wood and stone, linen and leather, Ashley shapes spaces that feel collected over time — never decorated in a weekend.Mountain Retreats & Vacation PropertiesBig Sky demands a different kind of luxury — one that earns its place against the landscape. Ashley specializes in vacation homes that feel like a world apart: warm, layered, materially considered, with the restraint to let Montana’s raw grandeur do the talking.Curation & StylingFor spaces that need a discerning eye rather than a full redesign. Ashley identifies what is working, removes what is not, and introduces pieces that elevate the whole — art, textiles, lighting, objects — with precision and restraint.
Ashley Michèlle Klaus
Beauty is something you feel before you see.
Ashley Michèlle Klaus didn’t arrive at interior design through a textbook. She arrived through a lifetime of paying attention — to the way light falls across a room at 4pm, to the weight of a properly chosen fabric, to the feeling of walking into a space that has been genuinely cared for.
Based in Bozeman and working throughout Big Sky, Ashley works exclusively on furnishings, curation, and the art of the interior. No structural work. No compromises. Just an extraordinary eye and an obsessive commitment to getting every detail right.
Her clients are people who know what they want — they simply need someone who knows how to find it.

From Our Clients
What Clients Say
Ashley has a gift. Walking into what she created felt like walking into a dream version of ourselves — the home we always wanted but couldn’t articulate until she did it for us.
I’ve worked with designers in New York and San Francisco. Ashley’s instinct rivals any of them, and she understood Montana in a way none of them could. The result is perfection.
The process was effortless. She asked the right questions, listened without agenda, and delivered something we didn’t know we needed. We haven’t stopped receiving compliments.
