אפרת ארנולד (Design by Efrat) - עיצוב פנים ושיפוצים

Renovating an apartment is stressful; renovating an apartment when you are living in a different country is seriously stressful, if not nigh impossible. Not, however, if you have Efrat on your side as your interior designer and project manager. From the first contact that we had with Efrat, via zoom, we knew we had somebody that could design and deliver a ‘home from home’ for us. There are basically two phases in a renovation, design, and management, and Efrat excelled in both for our project. We had an apartment in Modiin but were living in London at that time. Through numerous WhatsApp calls and video sessions Efrat shared her vision for our home backed up by numerous technical drawings and references to websites. When the design was finally agreed Efrat utilised her extensive contacts to provide quotations for all aspects of the work together with a projection of the likely costs of furnishings, ceramics etc., everything that goes into turning an apartment into a home. And her projections proved to be very accurate. Constantly providing us with updates on progress through videos together with her meticulous attention to the details of costs accrued put us at ease with the whole process. She took a personal, not just professional, interest in our project and was available to answer questions at any time. This was very reassuring and trust building as well as very exciting for us to see the progress. On the two or three occasions that we were in Israel we had ‘shopping’ days with Efrat, looking for and buying everything from the floor and bathroom tiles, lights, taps, beds, tables, chairs to settees, rugs, and artwork. And she made herself available to receive these goods into the apartment when they were delivered and has been available since we moved in to help smooth the ‘wrinkles’ that inevitably occur in such a project. We have a beautiful and functioning apartment and after living in it full time for 18 months we still say, WOW! Well done, Efrat!

Working with Efrat was a true pleasure—her creativity and design vision transformed our space in ways we hadn’t imagined possible. She brought fresh ideas, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to translate our needs into something both beautiful and functional. We would happily use her again!

Our experience working with Efrat exceeded our expectations in every way. We completed a full renovation that she oversaw from design through execution. She immediately understood our vision and elevated it. She created a space that is both highly practical and beautifully designed, with abundant storage, thoughtful flow, and a cohesive aesthetic. Efrat guided us step by step, ensuring the entire process was smooth and organized. She truly cares about the final result and is incredibly detail oriented. She treated our home as if it were her own, pivoted easily when challenges arose, and worked hard to stay within budget. She is a special designer and we highly recommend her.
