Studio Plumb is a full-service interior design studio creating one-of-a-kind homes with a refined, rebellious point of view.
Based in Sacramento, we design interiors that balance bold expression with real life. The result is homes that feel layered, personal, and fully lived in.
Every element, from layout to furnishings to the final layer, is thoughtfully considered as part of a cohesive whole.
PORTFOLIO
A Home That Doesn’t Follow the Rules
Our work is defined by fearless color, layered texture, and a mix of vintage and custom pieces. A single element, whether a wall treatment, material, or piece of art, often sets the tone and informs the entire space.
The finished home is both visually striking and deeply functional, designed to support the way you actually live.
Design That Feels Right
Great design should feel intuitive, not complicated. We approach each project with a clear point of view, shaping spaces that feel natural, comfortable, and distinctly yours.
Rooted in Relationship
We manage the design from concept through installation, working closely with contractors, artisans, and trusted partners to bring each project to life.
The process is structured, collaborative, and carefully managed so you don’t have to be.

Everything about this project surprised me in the best way. Here’s how a colorful beach house I designed in Matagorda, Texas found its way to the cover of HGTV Magazine. →
A couple from Houston reached out while building their dream beach house in a quiet fishing town on the Texas Gulf Coast. What I thought would be a little out-of-state consulting turned into a two-year collaboration designing every finish, furnishing, and detail from the ground up. →
When we started, this incredible Cristallo Tiffany quartzite was the only finish they’d selected. She was the moment, so everything else was designed around it. The dreamy, ice cream-colors told me right away these clients weren’t afraid of color, and it became the inspiration for the entire house.
Over the next two years, we spent hours on Zoom, mailed boxes of samples, and shared hundreds of photos and renderings to get every detail just right. →
In the spring of 2025, I flew to Texas for the furniture installation. It was the first time I saw the house and met my clients in person! We poured over so many swatches to make this home feel layered with color and pattern so watching years of decisions finally come together, room by room like Christmas. Getting to celebrate with them is a feeling that will never get old. →
Furniture installs are all about timing. Throughout construction, everything was delivered to a local receiver, inspected, and stored until the house was ready. We rescheduled this install several times to stay in sync with construction because the last thing you want is trades working around brand-new furniture.
Of course, that’s exactly what happened. Painters were still finishing as we started bringing furniture in, so everything stayed covered while we watched every paintbrush like hawks. It was stressful, but thankfully everything made it through without a scratch. →
In the fall, my 7 month pregnant sister-in-law and photographer, @whitneydianne, and I returned to shoot the project. We styled and photographed fourteen spaces in four days, barely left the house, and spent most of the trip chasing the light in our pajamas.
It was just the two of us staying at the finished beach house thi
Sooooo I kind of hate to say it, but styling makes the room.
We spend months, sometimes years, with clients getting the flooring, tile, wall coverings, fixtures, and hundreds of other details just right. By the end of construction, it’s completely understandable to want everyone out of your house and feel ready to be done. But the truth is, it’s probably not going to look done yet.
Even if the furniture is included in the design, a room can still fall flat without window treatments, art, textiles, books, and accessories. Those finishing touches are what bring life into a space. Even if you don’t want a lot of “stuff,” it takes more than most people think to make a room feel layered, lived-in, and fully designed.
We especially love bringing vintage pieces and personal collections into this final layer because they add instant character and soul to brand-new spaces and furniture. Styling is also where you can introduce color and pattern if you’re nervous about committing to it in more permanent ways.
At the same time, we don’t believe every shelf needs to be fully styled on day one. Some people love collecting art over time or bringing home treasures from their travels, and we intentionally leave room for that. Sometimes we’ll source placeholder art so a wall doesn’t sit empty while you search for the perfect piece. The goal is to create a framework that helps you build a home that becomes more personal over time, instead of staring at empty shelves and not knowing where to start.
Our favorite projects, and the ones you see in our portfolio, are the ones that got finished and styled. Yes, sometimes we bring in a few extra pieces for a photoshoot, but ideally we’re leaving you with spaces that reflect who you are and support how you actually want to live.
So if you’re planning a renovation or furnishing project, save a little energy, a little time, and a little budget for the final layer. It makes all the difference.

This recliner might have converted me. We installed a nursery today for the sweetest little girl and there will definitely be some naps taken here. 💕
Same bed styled two ways. I couldn’t decide what I liked better so we shot both. 💁🏽♀️ What’s your pref?
Also a till obsessed with the handwoven fringed coverlet I sourced in Oaxaca a couple years ago but proud of myself for not hoarding it. 😂

It’s probably time for a little re-introduction. 👋🏾
I’m Rebecca, the designer behind Studio Plumb, a Sacramento-based interior design studio creating layered, personality-driven homes for people who want something that actually feels like them.
Before interiors, I spent over two decades in branding. That background shapes everything about how I approach a space. Every home tells a story, and my job is to help figure out what yours should say.
Studio Plumb launched in 2018 out of a love for spaces that feel collected and full of character. We work with clients who have strong opinions and a clear sense of who they are, but want a trusted partner to help bring it all together with intention.
Our people tend to be curious, creative, and a little rebellious about what makes a home welcoming. They’re usually not that interested in designing for resale or following whatever’s trending. They want something expressive and elevated, a space that reflects their values, their history, and how they live. They just want help getting there without the overwhelm.
The work we’re most proud of is bold without being predictable, personal without being precious, and designed to make you feel something every time you walk through the door.
If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been around for a while, thank you! 🤍
This guesthouse bathroom is a lot of things, but no one will accuse her of being boring. 💅🏼
Last week I headed to Charleston for @thedesignfieldretreat and delivered on every level. Time to explore a beautiful historic city, learn from talented designers across the country, and full-on fangirl over the experts I look up to most. Every detail was thought of and well designed and that is not something a designer often experiences outside of our work. As someone who’s always looking to grow and improve my process, having a community of designers to learn from and lean on means everything. First year of this event and they absolutely nailed it. Congrats and thank you @maeproperinteriors and @sundaymorning_interiors!!
