Chatham, New Jersey

Tree-lined streets, excellent schools, a downtown you can walk end to end — Chatham is one of the most charming towns in Morris County, and a perennial favorite for New Jersey families. The homes match: well-maintained, architecturally varied, full of character. Ellie Mroz Design has worked all over Chatham, and we know the look that lands here — warm, classic, family-friendly, and never short on elegance.

Chatham homeowners often come to EMD with one room — a kitchen, a family room, a space that never quite worked — and end up with a whole Chatham house whose rooms finally agree with one another. Moving in, renovating, or simply ready for a refresh: the Ellie Mroz Design team are the interior designers Chatham families call first.

Planning and furnishing the family room

The family room plan places the sectional and ottoman alongside console seating, an accent chair and side tables. Options boards explore the furniture, lighting and art, and the close-ups show the console behind the sofa and the pillows and ottoman styling.

MRC x EMD

For renovations and new homes, MRCxEMD brings construction and interior design coordination into one conversation.

Why Chatham, NJ Homeowners Choose Ellie Mroz Design            

Chatham's housing stock leans classic American — Colonials, Tudors and Capes that reward a layered, patient hand far more than a heavy-handed renovation. Ellie Mroz Design's modern traditional aesthetic is a natural fit: it leaves the architectural language of Chatham's older homes intact and brings it firmly into the present.

EMD has done the full range of Chatham projects, from a single styled room to a whole house rethought. The Chatham Charm portfolio project — a full home interior design covering entry, dining, living room, kitchen, primary bedroom, nursery and craft room — shows what a whole-home engagement with the EMD team covers.

Questions

Questions we get a lot

Can you create a cohesive design across several rooms?

Yes. A coordinated plan can connect several rooms while allowing each space its own character. We define the rooms and priorities with you at the start.

Is construction required to work with EMD?

No. Interior design and furnishings can be a standalone project. For renovation plans, we can discuss how design coordination and construction relate to your scope.
