Belle Maison

For more than twenty years, Belle Maison founder Catherine Engelmeyer has created interiors with an aura of elegance. Blissfully comfortable, impeccably tailored and beautifully functional, they feature compositions of color, fabric and furnishings that delight both the senses and the soul. Engelmeyer’s French heritage inspires her work without limiting her options—a complete mastery of the decorative arts combines with a highly developed sense of empathy to create inspired solutions for discerning clients.

Working with a designer should be an enjoyable, self-revelatory process, a journey that transforms the client’s aesthetic desires into a three-dimensional reality. At a first meeting it is important to gauge the chemistry—is there an understanding, a “fit” between designer and client? If the relationship is right, the rest will fall into place. After initial consultations, during which goals and parameters are explored, floor plans are drawn and presented. The next step is an extensive presentation of color and texture through fabrics, paint chips, wall coverings and other decorative tools. Then our extensive network of suppliers and craftsmen is called upon to execute the design to the highest standards.

Belle Maison takes full responsibility for the finished project, guaranteeing a level of complete satisfaction typified by client relationships that span decades. Based in Short Hills, NJ, the firm's designs have graced homes and executive offices as far afield as New England, Florida, the Midwest and California.
