The Curated Interior Story

A stylized beige palm leaf with a long stem and broad, fan-shaped fronds.

Rhoda Walkup grew up soaking in all things interior design. Whether roaming through her aunt and uncle’s furniture store Koontz Company, rearranging and decorating her bedroom, or simply taking in every detail of family and friends’ homes- she was enchanted by the art of beautiful, personal spaces.

As a newlywed just starting out, she did not imagine moving 10 times in 13 years, but it was through those moves that she developed the design of a lived-in home, lovingly curated layer by layer. Drawing from her memory bank of special places and spaces from her history, she created a home that is not only beautiful, but comfortable…filled with items that hold deep meaning. 

What began as friends and family asking her to help them decorate here and there turned into a more formal endeavor in 2020. Since then she has had the honor of helping families blend stories and style to create their own one-of-a-kind spaces, including: transforming a historic building into a high school campus, creating a welcoming medical office, and bringing interest and style to multiple local businesses.

Rhoda’s Approach

To Design

Rhoda Walkup’s unique approach centers on celebrating the “lived in - home," emphasizing a collaborative process to curate layered interiors that seamlessly blend a client's personal stories and practical needs. Rather than delivering turnkey, cookie-cutter designs or focusing on staged perfection, Rhoda creates highly individualized spaces that celebrate the true comfort of habitation
