Full Service Interior Design
Luxury interior design and furnishings for New Jersey homes.
Luxury interior design and furnishings for New Jersey homes — one room, or every last one.
The EMD team designs and furnishes homes in Westfield, Summit, Short Hills, Chatham, Madison, Millburn, Scotch Plains, Cranford, Mountainside, and surrounding New Jersey towns. From a single room finished properly to an entire house, we carry the design process from first concept through final installation: furniture layouts, custom furnishings, lighting, rugs, window treatments, wall coverings, art, accessories, and the finishing details that decide whether a room is actually done.
Organic warmth, elevated materials, modern comfort, timeless style. That is the fresh, classic aesthetic EMD is known for — layered, livable interiors that stay polished without ever feeling precious.
What's included
Everything a finished room needs
Full-service interior design is for people who want the finished, properly curated space without running the project themselves. Depending on the scope of the project, EMD may assist with:
- Space planning and furniture layouts
- Furniture selection and custom furnishings
- Rugs, runners, carpet and installation
- Paint colors and interior color palettes
- Wallpaper and wall coverings and installation
- Custom window treatment creation, installation and hardware
- Decorative lighting, lamps, and ceiling fixtures
- Art, mirrors, accessories, and styling
- Bedding, pillows, throws, and finishing layers
- Procurement, order tracking, receiving, inspection, and installation
The goal, every time: a room or a whole home that feels cohesive, elevated, comfortable, and unmistakably yours.
How it works
Our design process
Eight steps, no mystery. The process is built so that designing your home stays the fun part.
Initial meeting at client’s home to review project and scope.
EMD sends Design Agreement to client detailing which pieces will be sourced by room, as well as estimated design hours per room. Client finalizes and signs.
Client conducts guided inspiration gathering to share aesthetic.
Meeting at the EMD studio to present EMD’s suggested interior design concepts, complete with samples for touching and feeling.
Furnishing / décor is agreed upon and purchased.
EMD tracks orders and inspects upon arrival at our warehouse.
Install day! EMD team manages full room install and accessorizes the space. Clients can choose which accessories to keep.
Happy clients enjoying new fresh, curated space!
“Next was a runner for my steps leading up to the bedrooms.…She is also helping me with accent pieces throughout my home including tables, rugs, pillows.”

And if the term itself is doing a lot of work, here is what “full-service interior designer” actually means in New Jersey.
What you'll see
Mood boards, floor plans, tracking and styling
Full service is a lot of decisions, and none of them are made in the abstract. These are the working documents from real EMD projects — the boards a room is chosen from, the plan it is drawn on, and the tracker that carries it to install day.
Concept and palette, before anything is chosen
The direction is agreed first — inspiration and a palette on one page — so every selection after it is measured against a decision that has already been made.
Selection boards, room by room
Every category is presented as a set of options for one room at a time — lighting, seating, case goods — so a decision is made against real alternatives rather than a single suggestion.
Furniture plans, measured to the room
Before anything is ordered, the room is drawn to scale with every piece in it — so a sofa fits, a rug lands correctly, and the walkways still work.
Procurement, tracked to install
Once selections are approved, every item is logged by room and category and tracked through ordering, receiving and inspection to an install date.
The styling and accessories
Interior styling is included in every full-service project — the final designer touch that gives a room its character and warmth. Once the furniture lands, our team layers the art, accessories and finishing pieces that make the room feel personal and complete.
A good fit
Who this service is best for
Our full-service design process is best for homeowners who want a highly curated, finished home and would rather not spend their weekends sourcing, measuring, ordering, tracking, and installing every last item. It is especially helpful when you are furnishing a new home, refreshing a space, completing a renovation, redesigning several rooms at once, or living in a house that has never quite agreed with itself.
Family room, living room, primary bedroom, dining room, home office, outdoor living area or a whole-home furnishing plan — EMD brings layout, function, color, texture, and finishing details together so the result reads as intentional from every angle.
“Ellie Mroz Design is an exceptionally talented group of designers who listened attentively to my desires and provided many choices of furnishings that fit my style and budget.…I felt seen and heard.”
Questions
Questions we get a lot
Full Service Interior Design at Ellie Mroz Design is the turn-key version: we thoughtfully select and install every piece—sofas, lighting, art, the accessories that finish a shelf—until the home is genuinely, completely done. Measuring, sourcing, layouts, custom pieces and white-glove installation are all ours to carry, in our signature classic-meets-fresh style, shaped around the way you actually live. We take on clients from 1 room to full homes.
What is actually included in full service interior design?
Every part of the project — from collecting your inspiration at the start through to the last round of accessorizing. We select the furniture, finishes, colors, lighting, artwork and window treatments. Our team coordinates the orders and oversees the installation, including the wallpaper, carpet and window installations. The aim is a process that runs smoothly and is genuinely enjoyable for you.
How does a full service design project get started?
It begins in your home: an initial consultation to talk through your goals and the scope of the project. After that, we email a working design agreement laying out the work and the estimated hours. Once you approve it, we walk you through gathering inspiration, then present design concepts at our studio.
Do clients get a say in choosing the furnishings?
Very much so. Every project opens with gathering client inspiration (in an easy, guided fashion), so the sourcing is built on the client’s aesthetic from day one. We encourage client participation at the presentation, which is an interactive session with samples in hand and 3-8 options presented per item sourced. On install day, you choose which accessories to keep. It is an approach that creates a space genuinely reflecting your style, curated by our design team.
How long does a typical project take?
About 12 to 20 weeks, from the initial meeting to the final installation — where it lands depends on scope, client availability, product lead times and how much is custom.
Phase 1: Discovery & Scope (Weeks 1-2)
In-Home Consultation: Our designers meet you at the house to define goals and project scope.
Onboarding: We finalize the agreement outlining the specific scope of work by room, and receive the project retainer.
Phase 2: Inspiration & Creative Alignment (Weeks 2-3)
Pinterest Collaboration: You’ll spend 1–2 weeks sharing inspiration room by room through our formal (and genuinely painless) digital process, so we understand your aesthetic goals.
Phase 3: Design Development (Weeks 4-5)
The Deep Dive: Our team measures the site, creates floor plans, develops concepts, selects 3-8 options per item to be sourced and procures physical samples for your review.
Phase 4: Presentation & Proposal (Week 6)
Studio Presentation: Join us at our Westfield, NJ studio for an interactive session — make your selections, and touch and feel every curated sample.
Pricing: A detailed proposal with per-item pricing follows within a week of your final selections.
Phase 5: Procurement & Installation (Weeks 6-12+)
Ordering: Once payment is received, we move into the purchasing phase.
Lead Times: Installation generally happens about 6-8 weeks out for in-stock items, while custom pieces typically require 12+ weeks.
Total Project Estimate: From the initial meeting to the final install, the typical journey for a full-scale furnishings project is around 12 to 20 weeks. This varies based on client/designer availability and manufacturer timelines.
Which areas do you serve?
Currently, we offer full service design and furnishings in Westfield, Summit, Short Hills, Millburn, Scotch Plains, Madison and Cranford. Our team works closely with clients in these towns, which is how the design stays personal and thoughtful. There are occasional exceptions for large projects.
What is the difference between full-service interior design and styling?
Full-service interior design typically covers space planning, furniture selection, custom pieces, lighting, rugs, window treatments, art, accessories, ordering, tracking, and installation. Styling is the narrower job: finishing touches, accessories, and refreshing a space that is already furnished.
Do you help with furniture purchasing and installation?
Yes. EMD sources the furnishings and décor, coordinates the purchasing, tracks every order, inspects each item on arrival, and manages the final installation.
Can you design around pieces we already own and love?
Yes, when appropriate. The design process can build around the existing pieces that mean something, while introducing new furnishings, colors, textures, lighting, art, and accessories around them to create a more cohesive finished space.
