Interior Design in Larchmont, New York

The village takes its name from Scottish larch trees Peter Jay Munro's gardener planted in the 1790s; Munro, nephew of Chief Justice John Jay, built the 1797 Manor House that still stands as Larchmont's oldest home. Walk south of Palmer Avenue into the Manor and the streets fill with shingle-style houses and Queen Anne Victorians: wraparound porches, gambrel roofs, deep front halls, most built after 1872, when the estate became a summer colony for New Yorkers who came up for the water. Manor Park still runs along the rocks at the edge of Long Island Sound, and the Larchmont Yacht Club has raced from the same point since the 1890s.

North of the tracks the character shifts. Stone-and-stucco Tudors with slate roofs and half-timbered gables, solid center-hall colonials, and the 1920s streets of Larchmont Gardens around the lake. The village center along Palmer and Chatsworth is genuinely walkable, and the train puts Grand Central about eighteen miles and well under an hour away on the New Haven Line. That commute is short enough to explain who ends up here: senior finance, law, media and agency people working in Manhattan, filling houses built for a slower century.

Luxury Residential Interior Design in Larchmont

Manor houses come with a common set of problems. Grand rooms and a cramped kitchen. A back stair and a pantry eating square footage nobody uses that way anymore. Beautiful original detail on the first floor and nothing upstairs but small bedrooms and one tired bath. We begin with space planning and interior architecture: reworking the rear of the plan into a kitchen and family space that actually gets the light, carving a proper primary suite with a real bath and dressing room out of what were three bedrooms, and improving the flow from the front hall through to the porch and garden without gutting the character that made you buy the house.

The detail work follows the architecture. Custom millwork drawn to match the existing profiles: paneled wainscot, deep casing, coffered ceilings, window seats and built-in cabinetry sized to the bay it sits in. Custom cabinetry, honed marble and soapstone, quartersawn and rift-cut oak, plaster finishes, tile that suits the period, unlacquered brass. Lighting designed room by room, layered rather than dropped in, because the tall ceilings and dark woodwork here punish a thin lighting plan. Tudors get their own treatment: leaded glass, arched openings and stone need warmth and a deliberate hand with color, not a coat of white paint and hope.

Commercial Interior Design in Larchmont

The village center along Palmer and Chatsworth runs on small, independent businesses: restaurants, boutique retail, professional and financial offices, private medical, dental and specialty practices, and studios that depend on foot traffic from two train platforms' worth of commuters. We design those interiors with the same process we bring to the houses, starting with space planning and interior architecture rather than surface decoration, because in a narrow village storefront the plan is the difference between a room that works and one that never quite does.

The INSABELLADESIGN Difference

Beth Insabella Walsh leads every project this firm takes. She founded it in 1996 and has stayed in the drawings ever since, reviewing millwork profiles, finish schedules, fabrics and lighting layouts personally and standing on site through installation. On a house where the finish work is a large part of why you bought it in the first place, that level of attention doesn't transfer to a handoff, so we don't build the firm around one.

We are ASID and IIDA professional members and a WBENC-certified woman-owned business, with a trade bench built over three decades: millworkers, cabinetmakers, plaster and paint artisans, upholsterers, stone fabricators and installers who know our standard. That's what makes an old shingle-style or Tudor interior come out right, because the design lives or dies in the finish work, not the floor plan alone. From the first walkthrough to the last piece of art hung, one senior team carries it.

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.

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.
