About the Principal Designer
Rebecca B. Compton
ASID, CKD, NCIDQ
Rebecca B. Compton graduated from Winthrop College, (now University), with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design in 1983. After graduation, she was hired as the first design assistant in the Campus Planning and Design Department at Winthrop. Her primary job was to assist with a major remodel and update of the President’s mansion on campus.
After leaving Winthrop, Rebecca spent four years employed by kitchen and bath design firms in Columbia and Sumter, where she later married her husband, Mike. In due course, she became a part of Morehouse-Compton Interiors for three years, before opening her own firm, Rebecca B. Compton Interiors, in the fall of 1990. After twelve years and four children during that time, Rebecca closed her business to take a much-needed break. In the summer of 2005, Rebecca joined Gallery 406 and added the interior design and custom cabinetry components to the business.
During her forty-plus years as an interior designer, Rebecca and Mike’s children have grown up and started families of their own, bringing in four wonderful grandchildren, and a beautiful daughter-in-law who is married to their youngest son.
Rebecca has worked on projects primarily throughout South Carolina during her interior design career, and also enjoys working in the yard, reading books, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

Our History
Gallery 406 Interiors, LLC
In the fall of 2004, Gallery 406 opened to the public as a shop on Miller Road, in Sumter, with a wonderful mix of art, antiquities, and collectables. The company expanded in the summer of 2005, when Rebecca Compton joined Gallery 406, and added the interior design products and services to the mix. By the fall of 2009, with the extended downturn of the economy, the store was closed, and the design firm was relocated to a home studio, where the primary office remains.
With those changes, the business was renamed Gallery 406 Interiors to better reflect the products and personal service offered to each client.
Since the spring of 2016, Gallery 406 Interiors has also had a booth located inside C & A Carpet, 990 S. Pike West, Sumter, SC 29150, where we maintain our cabinet and window treatment displays and samples, along with our wallpaper samples. Please call for an appointment so that any questions can be addressed.
