Interior Design · Salt Lake City

Rooms in
two tones.

Oat & Umber is a full-service interior design studio for homes that prefer warmth to spectacle — linen and walnut, light and shadow.

Philosophy

A home should feel inevitable — as though it could never have been otherwise.

The studio was founded by Lishelle on a simple conviction: that the best rooms are composed, not decorated. Every project begins with long conversations about how you actually live — then builds slowly, in natural materials and a narrow palette, until the house feels like it has always been yours.

Services

Full-service, start to finish

i.

The conversation

We begin at your table, not ours. How you cook, gather, rest, and entertain shapes every decision that follows.

ii.

The design

A complete vision for the home — architecture-aware plans, materials, furnishings, and lighting, presented as one coherent whole.

iii.

The installation

We manage every trade, delivery, and detail to a finished, styled home — down to the last linen napkin. You simply walk in.

One project at a time, taken on by invitation of the calendar.

A note from the founder

I started this studio because I kept walking into beautiful houses that didn’t feel like anyone’s home. Impressive rooms, photographed well — and somehow empty.

I believe warmth is the real luxury. A narrow palette, honest materials, and the patience to wait for the right piece instead of the available one. That’s the whole philosophy. Everything else is listening.
