The 9 Best Interior Designers in Israel (2026)

Updated August 2026 · 9 picks

The best interior designers in Israel in 2026 are Pitsou Kedem, Studio Erez Hyatt and Dalit Lilienthal in Tel Aviv, and Rachel Fuchs and Level Studio in Jerusalem. Israeli interiors work is split between architecture-led studios that move walls and design-led studios that do not, and knowing which you need decides most of the shortlist. Nine, below.

1. Pitsou Kedem Architects — Tel Aviv

Israel's most internationally published practice — architecture and interiors as one discipline.

Specialty Interior architecture, private houses, Bauhaus restorations, restaurantsLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for High-end residential, restoration projects, commercial interiors

Pitsou Kedem Architects was founded in 2000 and has become the most internationally recognised Israeli studio of its generation, with a body of work that runs from private houses and apartments to restaurants and commercial interiors.

The house style is spare and precise — clean geometry, controlled materials, a great deal of attention to how light lands — and the studio treats architecture and interior design as a single problem rather than two commissions. It is a natural fit for a Bauhaus restoration or a high-end apartment where the architecture itself is being reworked.

Good to know: Look through the studio's published projects before the first meeting — its aesthetic is strong, and the fit is either obvious or it isn't.

2. Studio Erez Hyatt — Tel Aviv

Luxury apartments and offices, with a warmer, more layered material palette.

Specialty Luxury residential interiors, offices, commercialLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Apartment owners, luxury residential, office fit-outs

Studio Erez Hyatt is led by its founder and chief designer, and works across residential interiors, luxury apartments, offices and commercial space.

Where some Tel Aviv studios pursue minimalism, this one leans into texture and layering, which tends to suit clients who want a finished apartment to feel lived-in rather than photographed. The mixed residential and commercial book also means the studio is comfortable with the harder practical constraints of a working building.

Good to know: Ask to see a project photographed after a year of use, not just on handover day.

3. Dalit Lilienthal Interior Design Studio — Tel Aviv

Interior architecture with a strong, simple organising idea behind every plan.

Specialty Residential and commercial interior architectureLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Apartment renovations, small commercial spaces

Dalit Lilienthal's Tel Aviv studio works on the interior architectural design of residential and commercial spaces, built around a stated principle of simplicity.

That reads clearly in the work: plans that resolve rather than decorate, and a restrained palette that lets the spatial move do the work. It is a good fit for the classic Tel Aviv problem of a small apartment with a bad layout, where the win comes from rethinking the plan rather than spending on finishes.

Good to know: Bring the existing floor plan to the first meeting — studios working this way start from the plan, not the mood board.

4. Jacobs-Yaniv Architects — Tel Aviv

Architects who take on interiors — useful when the walls are moving.

Specialty Architecture and interiors for houses, apartments and public projectsLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for House builds, structural apartment renovations, developers

Jacobs-Yaniv is a Tel Aviv practice whose portfolio spans high-end houses and apartments, residential buildings, commercial spaces and public projects.

Because the studio is an architecture practice first, it is well placed for projects where the interior work is genuinely structural, or where a house is being designed and fitted out as one commission. For pure decoration it is more firepower than most people need.

Good to know: Right choice if you are combining two apartments or moving structural walls.

5. Shirli Zamir Design Studio — Tel Aviv

Confident, colour-forward interiors across homes and workplaces.

Specialty Residential and workplace interiors, colour-led schemesLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Homeowners, offices and hospitality spaces

Shirli Zamir Design Studio works across residential and commercial interiors, and is known for schemes with more colour and personality than the Tel Aviv default.

That makes it a useful counterweight to the city's minimalist tendency. Clients who find the white-and-concrete look cold, or who have a collection, a colour or an existing set of pieces to design around, tend to be better served here.

Good to know: Say up front if you have art or furniture that must stay — this is a studio that will design around it rather than past it.

6. Amit Design Studio — Tel Aviv

A husband-and-wife studio covering both residential and commercial work.

Specialty Residential and commercial interior designLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Apartment and home owners, small commercial projects

Amit Design Studio was founded by Gali and Yoav Amit and designs both homes and commercial spaces.

Small partner-led studios like this one are often the sweet spot for a single apartment: you get the principals on your project rather than a junior, and the practice is small enough to care about a job that a larger office would treat as filler. Check current workload, since capacity is the constraint at this size.

Good to know: Ask how many projects the studio runs at once — with a two-principal practice, that number is the real answer to 'will you be on site?'.

7. Rachel Fuchs Interior Architecture — Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh area

A full-service interior architecture studio working in English across the Jerusalem area.

Specialty Residential interior architecture and renovationLanguages English · HebrewBest for Homeowners in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh, Anglo clients

Rachel Fuchs runs a full-service interior architecture studio designing what she describes as bold, warm and sophisticated spaces, serving clients across the Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh area.

Interior architecture rather than decoration is the key distinction — this is a studio for projects where the plan itself is being reworked. The English-language practice and the Jerusalem-corridor coverage make it a natural fit for Anglo homeowners in the city and the surrounding communities.

Good to know: Bring the existing floor plan and a list of what genuinely bothers you about it — that is the useful starting point.

8. Level Studio Architects — Jerusalem

A design-led practice working on luxury homes across Jerusalem and nationally.

Specialty Luxury residential architecture and interiorsLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Luxury homes, penthouse and villa projects

Level Studio, founded by Chaim Orbach, works on luxury residential projects ranging from high-rise apartments to bespoke private homes, with projects in Jerusalem as well as elsewhere in Israel.

It sits at the higher end of the market and works across architecture and interiors, which suits a full house build or a substantial apartment reworking better than a single-room refresh. Worth a look if the budget and the ambition are both at that level.

Good to know: Ask to see a completed Jerusalem project specifically — the stone constraints change the work.

9. Studio 37 — Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

A boutique studio for apartments, houses and offices, including consulting-only work.

Specialty Individual interior design for apartments, houses and offices; design consultingLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Homeowners, small offices, people who need advice rather than a full commission

Studio 37 is a boutique planning and interior design practice covering apartments, houses and offices, and it also offers design and planning consulting as a standalone service.

That consulting option is worth flagging. Not every project needs a full design commission — sometimes what you actually need is a professional to review a contractor's plan or resolve one bad layout decision, and few studios will sell you just that.

Good to know: If your budget will not stretch to a full design package, ask about consulting hours instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior architect in Israel?

An interior architect is licensed to alter the shell — moving walls, changing openings, reconfiguring services — and can sign the drawings that need signing. An interior designer works within the existing shell on finishes, joinery, lighting and furniture. If your plan involves knocking anything down, you need the former.

How much does an interior designer cost in Israel?

Common structures are a per-square-metre design fee (roughly ₪250–₪600/m² depending on the studio), a percentage of the project budget (typically 10%–20%), or hourly consulting at around ₪400–₪800. Several studios will sell a consultation-only package, which is genuinely useful if you mostly need a plan and a shopping list.

Do Israeli interior designers work with overseas clients?

Routinely — a large share of Jerusalem, Netanya and Herzliya work is for owners who are abroad most of the year, and the studios are set up for remote approval, site photography and project management on your behalf. Expect to pay for the project-management element separately.

How long does an apartment renovation take in Israel?

A full apartment renovation is realistically four to eight months on site, plus a design and permit period before it. Anything requiring a va'ada permit adds months that are outside anyone's control. Israeli renovation timetables slip; budget time and money accordingly and do not plan to move in on the promised date.

Should you hire the designer or the contractor first?

The designer, almost always. A designer produces the drawings that let contractors bid on the same scope, which is the only way to compare quotes meaningfully. Appointing a contractor first and asking them to design as they go is the standard route to a project that costs more than it should.

Which Israeli interior designers work in English?

The studios on this list all do, and the Jerusalem practices in particular are built around English-speaking clients. What is worth confirming is who talks to the contractor: site meetings run in Hebrew, and a designer who attends them is worth a great deal more than one who emails drawings.
