Sacramento is Northern California’s most dynamic luxury residential market — a city where Bay Area transplants bring coastal expectations, where historic neighborhoods like Land Park and East Sacramento sit alongside the modern estates of the eastern corridor, and where a home’s relationship to the outdoors matters as much as its interior.
Marta Cecilia Rodriguez brings nearly thirty years of international design experience to Sacramento’s luxury homes. Her Cultural Layering Method draws on design traditions and artisan sourcing from six continents to create homes that feel deeply personal, richly textured, and impossible to replicate from a catalog.
Interior Design Services in Sacramento
From whole-home redesigns in the Fabulous Forties to kitchen renovations in Natomas to new construction oversight in Folsom and El Dorado Hills, Marta provides full-service luxury interior design for the greater Sacramento region.
Whole-Home Redesign
Marta’s five-phase process transforms your home from the inside out. Pre-Design and Schematic Design establish the vision. Design Development defines every material, finish, and detail. Documentation prepares the project for construction. And Contract Administration ensures the finished home matches the original intent — because the most critical design decisions happen on the job site, not in the showroom.
Kitchen and Living Space Design
Sacramento’s luxury homes center on the kitchen and great room — the space where families gather, entertain, and live their daily rituals. Marta designs these spaces around choreography, not just the work triangle. How does your family move through this room on a weeknight? Where do guests naturally gather? The answers shape every decision from the island placement to the lighting plan.
Indoor-Outdoor Living
Sacramento’s climate is one of its greatest design assets — eight months of outdoor living, extraordinary natural light, and genuine seasons without extremes. Marta designs the threshold between inside and outside as the most important square footage in your home, using continuity of materials, architectural shade, and outdoor spaces that feel as intentional as the living room.
Primary Suite and Bathroom Design
The most personal room in your home deserves the most thoughtful design. Marta approaches the primary suite as a daily ritual — addressing the sound, light, and tactile qualities that determine whether this space merely houses you or genuinely restores you. Natural stone, handcrafted linens sourced from Poland and Italy, and lighting designed for every moment from waking to winding down.
Historic Home Renovation
Sacramento’s historic neighborhoods — Land Park, Curtis Park, East Sacramento, Boulevard Park — contain homes with character that modern construction cannot replicate. Marta’s experience with historic preservation ensures that renovations honor the original architecture while adapting the home for contemporary living. The bones stay. The life evolves.
What Sets Marta Cecilia Apart in Sacramento
The Cultural Layering Method. A proprietary design approach that builds homes from materials and objects sourced globally — each carrying meaning, craft, and provenance. The result is a home that feels collected over a lifetime, not assembled in a weekend.
Internationally published. Featured in Architectural Digest, Florida Design Magazine, Casa & Estilo Internacional, and DeCasa Magazine. Former IFDA chapter president. University-level design professor. Nearly thirty years of practice across six continents.
Global sourcing, Sacramento living. Materials from artisan workshops in Colombia, Poland, Italy, and Morocco — selected for how they feel, how they age, and how they respond to Sacramento’s specific light and climate.
One designer, one relationship. You work directly with Marta from the first conversation through final installation. No hand-offs. No junior designers interpreting your vision. Your home is designed by the person you trust.
