At Valerie Ruddy Designs, we specialize in one thing: creating beautifully designed spaces that feel like home. Our mission is to craft interiors that reflect your personal taste and support the way you live every day. Whether you’re refreshing a living room, updating a bedroom, elevating a home office, or transforming another space, we bring the ideas, products, and expertise to make it happen.

Every project is unique, and we take pride in collaborating closely with West Orange homeowners to find design solutions that fit both style and budget. Your initial design consultation is completely complimentary—we’ll review your goals, help outline a budget, and share preliminary recommendations. No project is too big or too small, and depending on the scope, we may even begin the design process during that first visit. Once the plan is approved, we take care of every detail—from measurements and product sourcing to ordering and installation—ensuring a smooth, efficient, and stress-free experience.

At Valerie Ruddy Designs, we’re here to help you make your West Orange home everything you imagine it can be.

The Township of West Orange as we know it today first began in 1862 as the smaller town of Fairmount. The name West Orange wasn’t actually used to 1863. However, almost 200 years of history encompassing the time before the American Revolution would lead to the eventual founding of our hometown.
