Full-service interior design for Fair Haven home renovations and furnishings. INSABELLADESIGN plans kitchens and adjoining living spaces together, connecting cabinetry, lighting, and new pieces with the furniture and woodwork you want to keep.
In Fair Haven we plan kitchens, baths, primary suites, and living spaces, with custom cabinetry and millwork, coordinated finishes, and lighting. Interior drawings and specifications guide the project team; furniture layouts, upholstery, rugs, fabrics, window treatments, purchasing, and installation are included where the proposal covers them.

Kitchen and living areas
A kitchen renovation is an opportunity to improve the dining and living areas next to it. We plan table and sofa placement alongside the cabinetry, leaving space for everyday movement and guests, and we check where belongings can be put away. Lighting and finishes then connect the rooms without making them identical.
Connecting new work with retained pieces
The Colts Neck living, kitchen, and dining floor connects seating and custom furniture around a two-story stacked stone fireplace. In our Princeton downsizing renovation, selected furniture was retained and reupholstered. Together, these projects show two useful starting points: the room’s architecture and the pieces a client wants to keep.
Our Design Process
Every project moves through the same five steps: initial consultation, design development, project & construction management, final walkthrough, client satisfaction check-in. Read the five steps.
About INSABELLADESIGN
Beth Insabella Walsh, founder and principal designer of INSABELLADESIGN. Meet Beth
Beth Insabella Walsh brings more than 30 years of interior design experience, with work spanning private homes, corporate offices, healthcare, and government facilities. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Drexel University and previously served as Director of Interior Design at a New Jersey architecture and interiors firm.
Tell us about your Fair Haven home: the rooms involved, what you want to change, and any furnishings or details you want to keep. We will discuss the design scope and next step.
I must say it's been my pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with Beth and her team at Insabella Design. My boss has been a long time client of Beth, over 25 years. And over those many years I was fortunate enough to work with Beth directly. She is extremely attentive and knows exactly what needs to be done. She has designed numerous major renovations and reconstruction projects for us. She has always been a pleasure to work with from the beginning of the projects to the very end. If I ever needed something in a pinch she always makes it happen. I would be completely lost without her and her support in keeping my boss comfortable and happy. Thank you Beth, to you and your team for your excellent services.
Executive assistant to a 25-year client · multiple renovations
I've had the privilege of working with Beth Insabella on several homes throughout the past 25+ years. Beth has impeccable taste and with her talented team, each project was a testament to her firm's creativity, expertise, attention to detail and professionalism. Whether starting with a blank slate or repurposing existing furnishings with new fabrics and colors, INSABELLADESIGN delivers stunningly beautiful, yet highly functional spaces, specifically tailored to the client's needs. I look forward to our next collaboration!
Repeat residential client · several homes over 25+ years
As an architect with considerable experience with differing project types, working with Beth and her staff has been a pleasure. Beth's team brought a fresh approach to the tired-looking interior of a subsidized housing midrise project built in the 1970s. Insabella Design is a highly skilled, motivated, and reliable firm that can be an asset to any interior design project. She and her team are dependable and committed to achieving excellence in their work. I look forward to working with Beth on our next project.
Can you plan a kitchen renovation around furniture we want to keep?
Yes. Share the pieces you want to retain early. We consider their size, condition, and placement alongside the kitchen layout, then develop cabinetry, lighting, and new furnishings that work across the adjoining rooms.
What should I prepare before a home design consultation?
Bring available floor plans, photographs, a list of rooms, and examples of what you like. Tell us what is difficult about the current arrangement and which furnishings you hope to retain. These details help make the initial discussion useful.
What affects the design budget and timeline?
The rooms involved, extent of renovation, custom work, product availability, building requirements, and installation needs all affect the project. Share your priorities and anticipated investment at the initial consultation; a detailed proposal follows that conversation.
Can you work with my architect or contractor?
Yes. We coordinate the agreed interior design scope with the relevant project professionals. Design, engineering, construction, and approvals have different responsibilities, which should be established for the individual project.
