Sarah Beth Wood
Principal Designer
Rigby Wood is a team of six professionals who collaborate with exceptional brands and skilled craftspeople to seamlessly bring elevated design to client spaces. We develop bespoke and comprehensive plans combining the beautiful elements of a home with the practical. We partner with clients to maintain a clear understanding of project budget, process, timeline and quality, ensuring every detail of the home is considered from its functionality to final finishing detail.
Our Arlington, VA-based team brings 80+ years of experience across luxury interior design, real estate, and project management, and has delivered over 75 projects for clients in the DC area and other destinations. We welcome travel projects both near and far and have recently completed projects up and down the East Coast - from New York to the Appalachian Mountains, Sea Island, Georgia, to Florida horse country.
We focus on core alignment with each client's needs and vision:
-
Our clients are great people. We enjoy working with those who are lacking in time, looking for deep expertise, and longing for a home that nurtures and inspires them.
-
Our full-service approach goes beyond traditional design services. We regularly collaborate with experts to address the whole client experience, including moving, cleaning, home systems (gas, electric, heating), stone masons, millworkers, A/V and smart home technicians, and landscape architects.
-
Our partnership with clients often begins before the initial meeting with architects or contractors, drawing on our expertise and training to ensure the design vision is incorporated from the very beginning - whether an existing space transformation or new home construction.
-
Our approach is always highly personalized, ensuring each project results in a home that feels uniquely yours.
When selecting a designer, you want to ensure that you are the priority client. We structure our time so that every client is the priority client.

Client Testimonials
"Building and designing a home can be daunting, but with Sarah Beth and the Rigby Wood team leading the process, it became an exciting and rewarding experience. When friends ask for advice on home projects, I always recommend that their first step be hiring her. We are absolutely thrilled with our home and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a designer who combines extraordinary creativity with exceptional project management and professionalism.
Her vision was exceptional, but what truly set her apart was her ability to bring that vision to life in a way that also works for our family. She coordinated effortlessly with the architect, builder, and countless subcontractors, ensuring every detail was thoughtfully considered and expertly executed. No challenge ever seemed too big, and she always found practical, elegant solutions adding only laughter – and never stress – to our lives."
