Belle Maison Interior Design This designer spotlight puts the focus on Short Hills, New Jersey-based Belle Maison Interior Design. Co-owner Mitchell Engelmeyer took the time to answer some questions we sent his way. Our Cityscape Large LED Pendant plays a key role in this month’s feature. HF: Who was the lead designer on the project? ME: Catherine Engelmeyer was the lead designer. HF: What was the biggest challenge in designing for the room? ME: Finding the right stone for the island. HF: How did you address those challenges? ME: We found quartz that worked perfectly! HF: What aspect of the design or space is your favorite? ME: Our favorite design aspect of the kitchen is the play of various satin nickel finishes – pendant, oven hood and cooktop – against the white cabinets and quartz island counter top. HF: Why was Hubbardton Forge selected to be included in this design? ME: We chose the Hubbardton Forge pendant because of the distinctive LED design, the platinum finish, and the ability to order a larger, custom canopy to make a bolder statement. HF: Is there a style Belle Maison is particularly known for? ME: We’re known for a European classic look, which often verges on transitional. HF: As a firm, what would be your dream project to design? ME: My dream project is a beautiful French Manor overlooking the hills of Provence. It would be filled with a generous heaping of stone and millwork, the best silks and other rich fabrics, antique floors and abundant artwork of all kinds. HF: What’s the one style trend that you wish would make a comeback? ME: Timeless, classic design. HF: What trend do you wish would fade away? ME: Midcentury modern.
