The Challenge
When the homeowners moved into their new Maplewood residence, their existing furnishings did not complement the architecture or support the way they lived. As frequent entertainers, they needed spaces that felt welcoming, sophisticated, and capable of comfortably hosting guests while remaining functional for everyday family life.
Living Room Before
The Solution
Walden Interiors reimagined the living room, family room, and front foyer through a comprehensive redesign rooted in mid-century modern principles. Custom window seating, a built-in lounge corner, sculptural seating, and carefully selected furnishings created multiple gathering areas. In the foyer, removing bookcases between rooms opened sightlines and established a more dramatic arrival experience while custom walnut details reinforced the home’s architectural character.
The Result
The finished home delivers the balance many Essex County homeowners seek: refined design, comfortable entertaining, and spaces tailored to everyday living. The project was later featured in NJ Home Magazine.
Project Investment: Six Figures.
Homeowners in Livingston hire Walden Interiors for taste, clarity, confidence, and execution.

Renovating a home in Livingston often means balancing competing priorities. You may love your neighborhood but feel constrained by an outdated floor plan. Your family has grown, entertaining has become more important, or your home simply no longer reflects how you live today.

Since 2009, Walden Interiors has created colorful, layered interiors that combine personality with practicality. Every project is tailored to the people who live there, creating homes that feel elegant, functional, and unmistakably personal.
Outgrowing the Home
Many Livingston homeowners moved here for the schools and community, only to discover that their home no longer supports the way their family lives today. Rather than moving again, many choose to invest in thoughtful renovations that improve daily life.
Love Your Neighborhood Again
High property values and limited inventory make renovating a smarter choice than relocating for many families. Opening kitchens, improving circulation, creating better entertaining spaces, and updating older interiors can completely transform how a home feels.
Luxury That Works Every Day
Luxury isn’t about creating rooms that look untouchable. It’s about designing spaces that handle family dinners, holiday gatherings, homework, quiet mornings, and entertaining friends without sacrificing beauty.
