Arlene Gold Design

I am about to put my NYC apartment on the market and it was sorely in need of a refresh. I had to replace my floor due to water damage and I needed help with what to choose. I needed paint colors for the walls and kitchen cabinets. Arlene not only helped me with all of this -- she did it remotely. I sent her photos and she set up a Pinterest board with her recommendations: rugs, curtains, tile -- all wonderful as well as economical. I sent her links to floors and cabinet hardware and she reviewed them and responded promptly. Everything that had been challenging for me Arlene turned into a fun project. And did I mention that Arlene is a joy to work with? She is always positive and willing to do that little bit extra to be sure everything is just right. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am so glad that I chose Arlene for my project. Arlene is a fantastic designer and made my house look much more extensive. I now own a small home and need help to make it look as large as possible. Arlene took all of those fears away. She is so professional and was so open to hearing my thoughts. She gave me many options for each space and even put a Pinterest board together. I would hire her again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Arlene, for going above and beyond what I thought you would. I now live in a jewel box that I cherish.

Very helpful!

Was nice to work with. However, I created a Pinterest board and sent her photos of the spaces beforehand and when we met it seemed like she did not look at it. She is very sweet and helpful. Just do not feel like we were a fit, which is fine. In our 2-hour consultation, we spent over 45 mins in one room and did not really speak much in two of my rooms which was a little disappointing. Overall I believe she is good for other people and just a very sweet woman. Just not who I am looking for sadly.

I could not have remodeled my kitchen with such wonderful results without Arlene. Her rich art background coupled with experience and knowledge about home remodeling made the experience enjoyable and satisfying. Throughout the process Arlene was conscious of budget, value and quality in all aspects. If I decide to make changes to another room of my house, my first call will be to Arlene!

Arlene is a rare find. Her attention to detail and vast experience make her an indispensable guide for any decorating decision. She has helped me completely remodel our home of four baths, a kitchen, and four added rooms. Throughout this process she has beautifully balanced the architectural integrity of our home with our desire to update its style. Arlene has a calming way and truly listens to her clients. Her talents as an artist are a built-in bonus as she can sketch out a new design, match a color exactly, and paint a mural on your wall! Arlene is such a delight to work with and I look forward to continuing to do so.

Arlene is a super- talented artist and designer but , more importantly, she is a person of integrity and grace. She designed and decorated my new offices and did a beautiful job! I could not be more pleased. It was a miracle that she was able to work within my budget, my time crunch, multiple needs, and limited space! She got the job done...and in time for the grand opening! I have had so many compliments! Her eye is impeccable. She is a joy to work with and I recommend her heartily and enthusiastically! She is my go-to designer!

Arlene Gold staged my house before it went to market. Transformation seems too tame a word to use. Her vision, her hard work , her artistry, turned the ordinary into a stunner. Her humor and patience made the process a joy

I hired Arlene to help with a home renovation along with decorating ideas, paint colors, furniture placement. etc. Arlene has impeccable taste, great style, works well with a budget and was a joy to work with. She was very patient and especially great at bridging the difference in taste of my fiancée and I at the time. She was easily available and went above and beyond at all times. I think what makes Arlene special is her ability to work with the homeowners style so the home feels authentic to its owners. Arlene understands home design from the bones up and has great vision and the ability to achieve it. I would work with her again on the drop of a dime. As a matter of fact, I am!

Arlene has helped make my house a home. From window treatments, fabric choices on pillows and reupholstered furniture, to a completely remodeled master bath, Arlene has been amazing. She has beautiful taste that adjusts to and complements the personality of her clients. She also has a calm, easy going demeanor. She is a joy to work with.
