The 6 Best Interior Designers in Jerusalem (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 6 picks

The best interior designers in Jerusalem in 2026 include Rachel Fuchs, Jerusalem Design and Yunu Design. Jerusalem interiors come with constraints the coast does not have: stone facades, small windows, arched and vaulted rooms, and preservation rules in the older neighbourhoods. Below are six studios that work with those rather than against them.

1. 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.

2. Jerusalem Design

Architecture, interior design and project management from one boutique office.

Specialty Architecture, interior design and project managementLanguages English · HebrewBest for Homeowners, overseas apartment owners, renovation projects

Jerusalem Design is a boutique agency covering architecture, interior design and project management together.

That third element is what sets it apart. Project management is the part most homeowners underestimate — chasing contractors, sequencing trades, holding the budget — and having it inside the same office as the design removes the usual argument about whose responsibility a problem is. Particularly useful for owners who are not in Israel full-time.

Good to know: If you are managing the project from abroad, this bundled model is worth paying for.

3. Yunu Design

Interior design and home styling for Jerusalem apartments and homes.

Specialty Interior design and home stylingLanguages English · HebrewBest for Homeowners, renters, apartments that need styling rather than building work

Yunu Design is a Jerusalem-based interior design and home styling studio working on residential projects.

Styling as a distinct service is genuinely useful and often skipped: plenty of apartments do not need building work at all, only a coherent scheme for finishes, furniture and lighting. If your flat is structurally fine but has never felt resolved, that is the brief this kind of studio is built for.

Good to know: Ask whether a styling-only package is available — it costs a fraction of a full renovation commission.

4. Orly Eran

An architect and interior designer with more than three decades of practice.

Specialty Architecture and interior design for homesLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Homeowners, renovation projects, older Jerusalem buildings

Orly Eran is an architect and interior designer with over thirty years of experience across residential and interior projects.

Being qualified in both disciplines is the relevant point for Jerusalem work, where the shell frequently constrains the interior in ways a decorator cannot resolve — a vaulted ceiling, a stone wall that cannot be opened, a window you are not permitted to enlarge. An architect can tell you which of those is genuinely fixed.

Good to know: In an old stone building, get an architect's view early on what can and cannot be moved.

5. Level Studio Architects

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.

6. Studio 37

A boutique planning studio that will also sell you advice without a full commission.

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

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

The consulting option is the useful part. Plenty of Jerusalem renovations do not need a full design package — they need a professional to sanity-check a contractor's plan or resolve one bad decision about a kitchen or a bathroom position, and very few studios will sell just that.

Good to know: If a full commission is out of budget, ask about paying for consulting hours instead.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an interior designer cost in Jerusalem?

Fees are usually charged per square metre of the project or as a percentage of the construction budget, with site supervision priced separately. Full interior architecture on a renovation costs substantially more than furnishing and styling, so establish which service you are buying and how many design rounds it includes before signing.

Do Jerusalem renovations need special permits?

Often. Jerusalem's building rules are stricter than most Israeli cities, particularly regarding external appearance and the use of Jerusalem stone, and older neighbourhoods carry preservation constraints. Anything structural, anything touching the facade, and anything affecting a shared building generally requires permits and consents.

Why do so many Jerusalem apartments have arches and vaults?

Older Jerusalem housing, particularly in the Old City, Nachlaot, the German Colony and Baka, includes Ottoman and Mandate-era construction with vaulted ceilings, thick stone walls and small window openings. These are lovely and structurally unforgiving — you cannot simply move a wall — which is why local experience matters more here than in a modern block.

Can I hire a designer if I live abroad?

Yes, and Jerusalem studios are used to it given how many apartments in the city are owned from overseas. Expect to agree a clear approvals process, and budget properly for supervision, since you will not be dropping by the site. Ask specifically how the studio handles remote clients before you engage.

How long does a renovation take in Jerusalem?

Design typically runs two to four months, and a full apartment renovation four to eight months of construction, longer where permits or preservation are involved. Add contingency for the holiday periods, which halt Israeli sites for meaningful stretches in spring and autumn.
