Marlene Zeiger Design

Marlene has an excellent sense of color and proportion. I have used her many times over the years and I am always amazed at the beauty she leaves in her wake. I recommend her highly! Nancy E. San Francisco, CA.

Marlene is the absolute best. My window coverings are breath-takingly beautiful. I had our master bedroom, master bathroom, and large guest bedroom designed and installed by Marlene. So pretty and elegant, Marlene's work could be on a cover of a magazine. Marlene also took into consideration my budget. Some of the fabrics I fell in love with were super expensive. Marlene figured out how to design my drapes so that they used the fabric and yet supplemented it with less expensive silks so that it fit in my budget. I couldn't be more happy with our results.

Marlene has done multiple residential jobs for my family, and I also used her for the interior design scheme of a commercial office complex that I manage. She always impresses me by coming up with a solution that is not only beautiful but appropriate to the application. Marlene is a real talent, a genuine artist and a great person to work with. I recommend her highly.

“When friends come into our mid-century home, their eyes widen and they immediately ask who we worked with as our interior designer! Marlene is a generous, eclectic spirit and delightful to work with. She is one of the most creative people we’ve ever met – her ability to capture the essence of what you want and make realistic recommendations, for a home you actually can live in, are unparalleled. She has a fun way of mixing elements: furnishings with multiple purpose, floor and window coverings that not only add to the environment but are statements themselves, and lighting sources to properly illuminate it all! Her sketches and drawings are something rarely seen today. She is an artist first and foremost and helps you “see” what your space will be rather than merely showing you plan view layouts. We were looking for clean, not overtly evident, but asian-inspired design for our family, living, and dining areas as well as a room for my daughter designed around an antique asian “opium” bed. She understood perfectly what we were after in both circumstances and we now have a beautiful and functional living space, with delightful “surprises” in just the right places, and my daughter has a room that all girls – and most women – would envy.”

Marlene turned a difficult space into a beautiful home. Her sense of style, her architectural background, and the way she is able to make a room "inviting" is uncanny. She's talented, professional and an amazing human being!
