Opened A Closed-Off Kitchen

Florham Park, NJ

The existing kitchen felt dark, closed off, and disconnected from the rest of the home.

Rather than relocating appliances, the design focused on opening the space by removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, improving natural light, adding seating, and creating a stronger connection to the adjoining family room. Clean cabinetry and upgraded lighting completed the transformation.

The result is a bright, modern kitchen that feels open, welcoming, and far more enjoyable to use every day.

Approximate project cost: $110K.

Created The Heart Of The Home

Millburn, NJ

The homeowners wanted a kitchen that felt more connected to the rest of the home while adding storage, counter space, and a stronger gathering area.

The layout was completely reworked to improve flow, while bold cabinetry, textured tile, and carefully selected finishes created a kitchen with personality and lasting function.

The finished space now serves as the heart of the home, supporting cooking, entertaining, and everyday family life.

Approximate project cost: $85K.

Designed For Accessibility And Everyday Living

Mendham, NJ

This kitchen needed to improve both accessibility and functionality for a family with a child using a wheelchair.

The layout was redesigned to create a more open, usable space while reusing much of the existing cabinetry and appliances to control costs. Updated finishes, custom cabinetry, and a dramatic quartz backsplash gave the kitchen a completely refreshed look.

The result is an accessible, highly functional kitchen that better supports everyday living while delivering significant cost savings through thoughtful reuse.

Approximate project cost: $75K.

Designing Kitchens Around Real Life

Risha Walden, founder of Walden Interiors

For more than 15 years, Risha Walden has helped New Jersey families transform kitchens that no longer fit the way they live. During that time, she’s seen the same challenge again and again. Many homes were designed for a different era, leaving today’s families with kitchens that feel disconnected, cramped, or difficult to live in.

At Walden Interiors, we begin by understanding how you actually use your home. How you cook. How you entertain. Where mornings become chaotic. Where gathering naturally happens. From there, we redesign the kitchen from a whole-home perspective, creating a space that feels beautiful, functions effortlessly, and belongs naturally within the rest of your home.

Every layout, material, and finish is thoughtfully selected around your lifestyle, then managed from concept through completion so every detail comes together exactly as intended.

Our Process

What It's Like To Work Together

With Walden Interiors, you get more than a kitchen design. You get a partner throughout the entire renovation process. From the first in-home consultation to the final installation, we are involved every step of the way.

We take the time upfront to fully think through your design so that construction runs smoothly and avoids unnecessary delays, back and forth, and costly changes later.

Your satisfaction is our priority.

Step 1: Understand How You Actually Live

We begin by understanding how your family uses the kitchen today and what isn't working.

Step 2: Design Around Your Lifestyle

Layouts, cabinetry, lighting, finishes, and materials are thoughtfully selected around how you actually live, not just what's trendy.

Step 3: See Everything Before Construction

You'll receive detailed presentations, including floor plans, elevations, mood boards, and curated selections, so you can confidently approve the design before work begins. Additional visualization can be provided where appropriate.

Step 4: Coordinate Every Moving Piece

We work alongside contractors, cabinetmakers, and trades, reviewing drawings, answering questions, and helping keep every detail aligned throughout construction.

Step 5: Enjoy The Finished Space

Instead of managing hundreds of moving parts yourself, you enjoy a completed kitchen designed around how your family actually lives.

Kind Words

Risha really takes the time to get to know her clients and asks lots of detailed questions to figure out what your true style is. If you don’t know what your style is, she will figure it out. She helped redesign my kitchen so it feels like a whole different experience when you walk in. From the fixtures to all the little details, Risha followed up with everybody. If something went wrong, she was the first one on your side to fix it and get it done right.

Walden Interiors supervised the contractors, came up with great ideas, focused us so we weren’t overwhelmed by a million different choices, figured out what would make us happy, and made it happen. We’re so happy with everything.

– Jack Greenberg

Risha guided us through our entire renovation project from the beginning. She reviewed the architect’s plans, made helpful suggestions, and worked out how the space would be used and furnished. The final result reflects our style and is functional in the way we wanted it to be.
