I'm very glad I tapped David to come in and re-imagine the home for my client. David is a wonderfully creative and talented designer. He has an impeccable eye for what looks good and his attention to detail truly sets him apart. By re-imagining the space, we were able to stage the home in a way that made it more inviting, warm and elegant. It was amazing for me to come in and see the before and after--truly a remarkable job! **★★★★★ — Tierney Danehy, Oct. 2016** > I recently worked with David on finishing touches for my condo in Normandy Isle. Not only did he have a great eye for design, an excellent understanding of what I was looking for and ability to stay on budget, he was also able to make better use of my existing furniture through better space planning. David is as talented as he is a pleasure to work with. I have already recommended him to one friend and will continue recommending him to anyone looking for help with design. **★★★★★ — Karen Schachter, Sept. 2016** > I hired David recently to re-imagine my Miami condo. In a matter of hours he completely transformed my space using all my existing furniture, art and accessories. The result exceeded my wildest dreams and I've never truly felt proud of or comfortable in my home until now. David did an amazing job and I am recommending him to everyone I know! **Comment from David Charles Klein Design:** > Karen: > I am so happy you are thrilled with my redesign of your apartment.

David has vision, foresight and a keen sense of the real estate market. The renovations he has made to my properties are indicative of his impeccable taste and minimal, sophisticated and classic design aesthetic. The results are beautiful and distinctive spaces that buyers and clients love. David is professional, responsive, collaborative, has an easy going temperament and is always a pleasure to work with. No matter what the project he never ceases to amaze. **Comment from David Charles Klein Design:** > It's been my true privilege to work with you on so many projects for as many years as we have! You always challenge me to create fresh and unique spaces that are timeless and never trendy. I am honored to continually earn your trust, respect and business. **★★★★★ — Gotham Interiors, Sept. 2016** > David was a fantastic person to work with! > > He was very considerate of my vision and opinion but was very articulate and deliberate about what he wanted.

I am delighted to know how happy you are with the design and I wish you many years of great peace and joy living in it! **★★★★★ — Daniel Rodrigues, May 2016** > My partner and I worked with David on the renovation and design of our master bathroom. We were initially drawn to him based on the quality of his work but were even more impressed with his uncanny ability to really understand who we were as people and how that factored into our design and design aesthetic. This personal approach set David apart from other designers and ultimately gave us a design as beautiful and unique as we are. We highly recommend him and look forward to working with him for many years to come. **Comment from David Charles Klein Design:** > I truly enjoyed getting to know you both and am happy we could infuse many personal details into your design. I wish you both many years of joy (and cleanliness!) in your beautiful new master bathroom. **★★★★★ — Tony T, Aug. 2015** > I am happy to give David the highest recommendation possible!

David stepped in with a keen eye, great attention to detail and a flair for the new and modern - just what we were looking for! We couldn't be more pleased with the sophisticated, yet whimsical and homey style that we got with David as our design partner. Can't wait to do some entertaining in our great new space! **Comment from David Charles Klein Design:** > It was my pleasure helping you create the perfect space for this exciting new chapter in your lives! I hope you love and enjoy it for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Gregg Page, Aug. 2015** > I worked with David last year when I moved to Vero Beach. David really understood my vision and design aesthetic, offered a fresh perspective and helped me see things in a new way. I loved the furniture and accessories he found and I appreciated the fact he passed the actual cost of the items on to me instead of marking it up like most Designers. David has great taste, is fantastic to work with, and was always respectful of my time. His attention to detail and high quality service was refreshing and welcomed. > I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with him again soon. **Comment from David Charles Klein Design:** > It is such a pleasure working with someone who has a distinct and clear vision for his new home...and I was so fortunate to help you make it all come to fruition! So pleased you are happy with the work we did and am excited for the chance to collaborate in the future! ## Selected projects - [Miami Shores Contemporary ReDesign](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miami-shores-contemporary-redesign-pj-vj~2143520) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 10 - [Pelham Bay Transitional Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pelham-bay-transitional-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~1961793) - Location: Bronx, NY - Photos: 3 - Description: Total gut renovation of a bathroom in a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath row house in Pelham Bay neighborhood of NYC. Starting with my client's wish for what they called an "old NY meets new NY" design, I combined more traditional elements like the lighting, plumbing fixtures and marble tile counter top with more modern and transitional elements like the large scale, grey stone wall and floor tile, the square-shaped deep soaking tub and wall mounted vanity. The final result is an eclectic mix of old and new t… - [Chelsea Master Bath Contemporary Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chelsea-master-bath-contemporary-remodel-pj-vj~1961791) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 4 - Description: Renovation and design project for the master bath of a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom loft in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC. Working with the existing marble floor, jacuzzi tub and vanity with marble countertop, I found a beautiful marble, smaller scale, mosaic tile for the walls that was the perfect compliment. The mosaic pattern was the right scale and shape for the 12x12 square floor tiles original to the space and just too pretty and expensive to replace. We had the floors re-grouted a fresh bright… - [North Beach Contemporary Redesign](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-beach-contemporary-redesign-pj-vj~977390) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 11 - Description: Design of a contemporary apartment in the North Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach, FL.

Many open concept floor plans can be challenging (and often confusing) to decorate. Proper furniture placement and utilizing the space appropriately is always key. When this project was completed, my client told me "I have never really loved my apartment until now. You are amazing!" Another very satisfied client.

A: Hi: The solid orange sheets are from Design Within Reach and the patterned sheets are from Matteo. **Q: Terrace** *(in Photo Questions)* What are the dimensions of this terrace? A: Hi Lisa: I completed this project in 2011 and no longer have the exact dimensions. My best guesstimate would be 5'x12'. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need any design advice or guidance. Best of luck with your terrace project! David Charles Klein **Q: Update credenza. Help a rookie out!** *(in Design Dilemma)* Help! My husband got me this bar credenza from a thrift store from the 70s to update but I don't know what color to choose or materials to go for. It would be my first DIY and would like it to match with our living room in the river house. Here are some pictures and a credenza in silver I love so you know my over the top style. A: Painting and/or refinishing wood furniture can be difficult and time consuming. If you have experience (which it seems you might) that will give you a major head start. You can buy metallic paint for walls so perhaps it will translate to wood as well. It is on the expensive side, upwards of $150 per gallon. You can purchase at Benjamin Moore. The brand is Modern Masters and their website is: modern masters.com. Hope this helps and make sure to post the results! **Q: Two couches or a sectional?** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are building and debating between a sectional and two couches. I'm leaning toward to couches plus two or three chairs. The photo is from the front door. The area to the right is the dining/kitchen and will have a large island. A: Looks like an amazing space! Can't wait to see it when it's complete. I agree that 2 sofas will look better and function better. Sectionals are too mundane these days as well. **Q: Please help me pick my backsplash...again** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are in round 2 of putting up a back splash in our kitchen that we have been renovating for over a year and a half. A couple of months ago my husband was putting up the first back splash we had chosen and the more that went up, the more I disliked it. (First pic shown below.) I found it too busy and overwhelming. I convinced my husband to pause and ultimately redo. Here we are two months later and we have narrowed things down (again) to two glass tile choices. This time I am going monochromatic but there are two color options in this style: white and bone. The tiles themselves have texture and I feel adds interest. I initially wanted white but now I am considering the bone choice more as I feel it will add warmth and pull in color from the floor. I am also contemplating grout color for either option. Please help me make the RIGHT choice the second (and final) time around. See other pics for a pic of my kitchen and the samples displayed on the wall, on the left side close to the coffee maker. Thanks in advance for your insight and feedback! A: Hi there! First of all I completely agree with your decision to remove the original tile option. It was way too busy and rather commonplace. I do and see a lot of kitchen remodels and everyone now is doing something very similar which means it's out of style. I digress. So in terms of the white or bone there are a couple of things to consider. First if you want a more modern, sleek look I would go with the white. If it is a more contemporary yet warm look do the bone. You already have a lot of white with your counter tops so the bone would be a nice contrast. Second you are using glass tile which is always harder to install. It does not cut as easily as ceramic or porcelain and has a greater tendency to break. That said it just takes a bit more time and precision when installing. The other factor with glass has to do with the condition of the wall you are attaching the tile to. It is glass and sometimes the wall color can seep through and affect the color of the tile once installed, or the texture of the wall can been seen through the glass, so make sure you are applying to a solid, clean surface. Also, clear glass always reads bottle green and white glass often reads blue or grey, depending on the light, time of day and other colors you have in the design. Without knowing you it's hard to pick one but from what you've written it sounds like you are leaning towards the bone and I think that would be a beautiful choice. Post the final result for all of us to see! I hope this was helpful. Best, DCK **Q: paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi there, I love the bluish gray walls from this project. What paint color is this? TIA! A: Hi Samantha: Thanks for the question. I loved the wall colors in this project too, especially the medium grey color I believe you are referring to. There are 3 shades of grey used on the walls: the lightest color is Sidewalk Grey, the medium (above the sofa) is Delray Grey and there was a third darker shade (not pictured) Stormy Sky. All available at Benjamin Moore, my go to resource for high quality paint. I like their regal brand: a little more expensive but produces a beautiful result. Here are a couple more shots of the project utilizing the same colors. Hope this helps. Best, David --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-04.*
