Interior Design in Interlaken, New Jersey
Interlaken is one of Monmouth County's best-kept secrets: a tiny, tree-lined borough tucked between Deal Lake and the Atlantic, so quiet and self-contained that many people who summer three towns over have never driven through it. Its name literally means between the lakes, and that setting defines it: gracious older homes on generous, landscaped lots, curving streets, and the calm of a place that has never chased attention.
The homes match the mood: substantial early-twentieth-century houses with real architectural pedigree, center-hall Colonials and shingle-style residences with the deep moldings, high ceilings, and craftsmanship of an era that built to last. These are homes for people who value privacy, quality, and permanence over flash, and who want their interiors to reflect exactly that.

Luxury Residential Interior Design in Interlaken
Interlaken's homes reward a careful hand, and thoughtful whole-home design that respects the architecture is exactly what we offer. We restore and reinterpret original detail (moldings, staircases, leaded windows, fireplaces) and design around the generous proportions these older houses offer, reconfiguring dated layouts into the open, light-filled flow that modern families want without stripping away the soul.
The upgrades are quietly luxurious. We design chef-caliber custom kitchens that feel of a piece with a period home, spa primary baths with heated floors and freestanding tubs, paneled studies, custom built-ins, and the discreet modern systems that make a century-old house comfortable year-round. On the homes near the Deal Lake shoreline, we orient living spaces to capture the water and the exceptional light.

The INSABELLADESIGN Difference
In a borough as small and close-knit as Interlaken, a designer's reputation lives or dies on the finished result, and every project here runs through founder Beth Insabella Walsh personally. She reads the home, its period character, and its light herself, and stays involved from the first concept through the final installation. You get the principal, not a junior designer or a rotating team.
Nearly thirty years of that hands-on consistency is why so much of our work comes through referral and repeat clients. When neighbors admire a home, they ask who did it, and that quiet chain of recommendation is exactly how a design practice like ours grows in a borough this size.

How a Project Works
1. Start with a conversation
A consultation at our Little Silver studio or your property. We talk through the space, the scope, how you live or work in it, and what you want the finished project to accomplish. No obligation, and you will always be speaking with Beth.
2. Design and decisions
Space planning, materials, millwork and cabinetry design, lighting, and furnishings developed into one coherent plan, with drawings and documentation your contractor and trades can actually build from.
3. We carry it to the finish
We coordinate the trades, manage orders and timelines, and stay on the project through installation and styling, so you get a completed space rather than a plan left for you to assemble.

Interlaken Interior Design FAQs
Do you specialize in Interlaken's older, architecturally significant homes?
Yes. Early-twentieth-century homes are the core of our Interlaken work. We work carefully around what gives these houses their pedigree, the trim, the stair details, the fireplace surrounds, while opening up floor plans that were built for a more formal, closed-off way of living.
Can you design around a home near Deal Lake to capture the water?
Yes. For homes along the shoreline, window placement and room layout get planned around the view early, not as an afterthought, so the primary rooms and any outdoor space actually face the water and get the benefit of the light coming off it.
Will you keep the warm, established character of the home?
That's our approach in Interlaken. We favor warm, layered palettes, natural materials, and a mix of antiques and custom pieces, so the interiors feel serene and rooted rather than trendy.
Are you a full-service design firm?
Yes, space planning, custom kitchens and baths, millwork, lighting, furnishings, art, and project management, all led personally by founder Beth Insabella Walsh.
Do you take on whole-home projects?
Most Interlaken commissions are whole-home, and we're happy to handle the entire house from concept through installation. We also take on individual rooms and kitchens or baths.
Is the founder personally involved in each project?
Yes. She is the one who walks the property, makes the calls on materials and layout, and sees the job through to the last piece being placed. Clients tend to notice that continuity, and it is a large part of why people who worked with us once come back for the next room or refer a neighbor.
