Refined, build-ready interiors executed with clarity, precision, and construction fluency.
Serving Hood River, Oregon & Beyond
We partner with detail-oriented homeowners and experienced builders who believe in doing things properly.
Our clients are investing in homes they intend to live in for years. They care deeply about quality and durability. They value thoughtful design but are not interested in fleeting trends or unnecessary embellishment.
They want spaces that feel elevated without being fussy, practical without being predictable.
They understand that a well-executed design is not about decoration. It is about foresight, coordination, and discipline.
If you are building or renovating and want the confidence of knowing that every detail has been considered before it reaches the job site, Studio Renée was created for you.
Studio Renée is a full service design studio specializing in refined, build-ready interiors for discerning homeowners, builders, and developers who expect clarity, organization, and execution at a high level.
Full-Service Design for spaces that support who you are now — and who you’re becoming.
This is for the homeowner who says:
“We don’t want flashy — we want it to last and we want all the details managed seamlessly.”
Our approach blends elevated design with a deep understanding of how projects are actually built. Every decision is supported by comprehensive, field-ready documentation that removes ambiguity long before materials arrive on site.
We work closely with builders and trades to ensure selections are installed as intended, anticipating potential challenges early so they do not surface as costly surprises later.
Clear communication between all stakeholders keeps the project aligned and steady from start to finish. This level of organization protects both your investment and your timeline, reducing unnecessary revisions, minimizing delays, and building trust across the entire team.
Well-run projects are not the result of luck. They are structured intentionally from the very beginning.
OUR APPROACH IS INTENTIONAL and HIGHLY ORGANIZED. WE DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE SPECIFICATIONS, MANAGE MATERIALS and DETAILING WITH PRECISION.
We do not separate design from execution. We manage both.
DESIGN FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
OUR SERVICES
We develop intentional floor plans that prioritize flow, proportion, and function. Every decision is rooted in how you will live in the home on a daily basis.
Space Planning and Layout Development
We collaborate closely with builders and trades to refine cabinetry, millwork, ceiling treatments, lighting placement, and built-in elements.
Interior Architectural Detailing
Flooring, tile, plumbing fixtures, hardware, cabinetry finishes, paint, and surface materials are selected and documented with clarity.
Comprehensive Material and Finish Specifications
Lighting is approached both technically and atmospherically. We coordinate placement with electrical plans and select fixtures that support the architectural vision while ensuring performance and longevity.
Lighting Design and Fixture Integration
For projects that extend into furnishing, we curate furniture, textiles, and decorative elements that support the overall architectural framework. Scale, durability, and proportion are prioritized alongside aesthetics.
Furniture Planning and Sourcing
We oversee the ordering and tracking of materials and furnishings to ensure alignment with the construction schedule. Coordination at this level prevents delays and protects the integrity of the design.
Procurement and Order Management
We remain involved during construction, reviewing installations, clarifying details, and addressing field conditions as they arise. Our presence ensures that what was designed is what gets built.
Site Visits and Trade Coordination
At the final stage, we oversee installation and ensure that every element is completed with care. The result is a home that feels cohesive, resolved, and ready to be lived in immediately.

Claudia Munk-Von Flotow
Sam and team helped us rediscover the soul of our 1890s home. After decades of awkward remodels, they redesigned our kitchen and mudroom to honor the home’s original character while making it truly work for our busy family.
