Before & After: Full Luxury Home Renovation in Westfield, New Jersey

When our clients came to Mimi & Hill, their Westfield home still reflected the heavy Tuscan-inspired style that defined so many homes built in the late 2000s. Dark finishes, ornate details, and overly formal spaces made the home feel disconnected from the way the family actually wanted to live. While the house had beautiful scale and strong architecture, it no longer reflected their lifestyle or aesthetic. The wife had moved into the home after marrying her husband and never fully felt like the space represented them together as a family. She envisioned something entirely different. Their style leaned warm, soft, layered, and glamorous with a timeless feel that felt elevated but still welcoming enough for everyday life.

Through this luxury home renovation in Westfield, NJ, we completely reimagined the home with lighter architectural details, custom millwork and finishes, layered textures, natural stone, and thoughtful furnishings that softened the entire atmosphere of the space. The result is a high-end whole home renovation in New Jersey that feels deeply personal to the family while still honoring the scale and architecture of the original home.

Luxury Kitchen Remodel in Westfield, NJ

The kitchen became one of the largest transformations within the home. Our goal was to create a space that felt timeless, functional, and warm while still making a statement.

We layered handmade zellige tile throughout the backsplash to bring movement and texture into the space. The variation in the glaze gives the kitchen depth and softness that cannot be replicated with machine-made materials.

Custom cabinetry was designed specifically for the family’s cooking, storage, and entertaining needs. Every cabinet and drawer was carefully planned to maximize functionality while maintaining a refined and cohesive aesthetic.

To warm up the overall palette, we selected Taj Mahal marble for the countertops and surfaces. The natural veining and soft tones added an elevated but approachable feel to the kitchen. Above the range, we designed a custom brass hood that became one of the defining focal points of the room. Beneath it sits a stunning Officine Gullo range that gives the kitchen a collected, European-inspired feel.

This luxury kitchen remodel in Westfield, NJ completely transformed the heart of the home into a space designed for both everyday living and hosting.

A Warm and Elevated Family Room Design

For the family room, our clients wanted the space to feel comfortable enough for movie nights and everyday family gatherings while still feeling elevated and thoughtfully designed.

We anchored the room with a large cozy sectional that immediately creates an inviting atmosphere. To elevate the architecture of the space, we redesigned the fireplace with a new plaster surround that adds softness and organic texture.

One of the most impactful additions was the wood ceiling detail, which brought warmth, dimension, and intimacy into the room. Soft white drapery keeps the space feeling light and airy, while textural wallpaper adds another layer of warmth and sophistication.

The finished family room feels calm, layered, and welcoming without sacrificing luxury.

Formal Living Room with Timeless Architectural Details

The living room was designed to feel formal enough for entertaining while still remaining approachable and comfortable for daily use.

We introduced new moldings throughout the room to elevate the architecture and create a more custom feel throughout the home. A level 5 paint finish gave the walls a beautifully smooth appearance that reflects natural light in such a soft and luxurious way.

Throughout the room, we layered soft patterns and subtle textures to create visual interest without overwhelming the space. The seating layout was carefully planned to encourage conversation while maintaining a refined and elegant aesthetic.

The transformation is a perfect example of how thoughtful architectural details and layered furnishings can completely change the atmosphere of a room.

Dining Room Designed for Hosting and Gathering

The dining room became one of the most artistic spaces within this upscale interior renovation. Our clients love entertaining, so we wanted the room to feel memorable and elevated while still warm enough for long dinners with family and friends.

The hand painted ceiling mural instantly transformed the room and created a true statement moment. We paired it with a new marble fireplace that adds timeless elegance and texture.

Custom dining chairs were designed specifically for the project to ensure both comfort and beauty. Above the table, handmade alabaster light fixtures create the most beautiful soft glow in the evenings, making the room feel intimate and inviting.

Every layer within the dining room was intentionally selected to create a space that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.

Westfield, New Jersey Foyer Renovation

The foyer sets the tone for the entire home, so we wanted this space to immediately feel elevated and welcoming.

We installed marble checkerboard flooring to create a timeless foundation with strong visual impact. Throughout the foyer, we simplified and refined the architectural details with elegant paired-down door casings that feel cleaner and more sophisticated.

Rather than replacing the original staircase, we chose to preserve the banister and paint it in a high gloss finish. This allowed us to maintain the original character of the home while giving it a fresh and elevated look.

We layered in a new runner, grasscloth wallpaper, and a stunning Murano glass light fixture to complete the space. The result is a foyer that feels timeless, luxurious, and incredibly welcoming from the moment you enter the home.

Custom Master Suite Renovation in NJ

The primary bedroom was completely reimagined during this custom master suite renovation in NJ. We wanted the space to feel serene, balanced, and quietly luxurious.

One of the most significant architectural changes we made was relocating the fireplace to the center of the room and adding an additional window. This improved the symmetry of the space while bringing in much more natural light.

The walls were hand plastered to add softness, texture, and depth throughout the room. At the center of the space sits a custom mohair bed that adds warmth and richness while still feeling calming and refined.

We redesigned the fireplace in marble to create another elegant focal point that ties seamlessly into the rest of the home.

High-End Bathroom Renovation in New Jersey

The primary bathroom underwent a dramatic transformation to improve both functionality and luxury.

During this high-end bathroom renovation in New Jersey, we completely reconfigured the layout by relocating the shower and bathtub to create one expansive wet room. This instantly made the bathroom feel larger, more open, and more spa-like.

Custom millwork vanities were designed specifically around the family’s storage needs. One of the biggest priorities was creating significantly more storage for products while still maintaining a clean and elevated aesthetic.

We layered marble throughout the space and paired it with mother of pearl tile that reflects light beautifully and adds subtle dimension. The combination of materials creates a bathroom that feels timeless, luxurious, and calming.

A Bright and Personalized Daughter’s Bedroom

The daughter’s room was designed to feel functional, bright, and reflective of her personality and interests.

We incorporated custom millwork and finishes throughout the space to maximize storage while keeping the room cohesive and elevated. By reworking the layout and storage solutions, we were able to create a full walk-in closet that dramatically improved the functionality of the room.

Because she loves all things beauty, we also designed a custom makeup vanity specifically for her. It became one of the most personal and special features in the room while still feeling timeless enough to evolve with her over time.

The final result is a bedroom that feels polished, organized, and uniquely tailored to her lifestyle.

A Whole-Home Transformation Designed Around the Family

This full home remodel in Westfield, New Jersey is a perfect reflection of how we approach design at Mimi & Hill. Every space was carefully considered not only for how it looked, but for how the family would truly live within it every day.

From the layered kitchen materials and architectural upgrades to the serene primary suite and highly personalized secondary spaces, this whole-home transformation was about creating a home that feels timeless, functional, and deeply connected to the family who lives there.
