The 7 Best Interior Designers in Tel Aviv (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 7 picks

The best interior designers in Tel Aviv in 2026 include Pitsou Kedem Architects, Studio Erez Hyatt and Dalit Lilienthal. Tel Aviv's design scene is shaped by what it works on: small Bauhaus apartments with awkward plans, where the job is usually interior architecture — moving walls and light — rather than decoration. Below are seven studios that do it well, and who each suits.

1. Pitsou Kedem Architects

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. Studio 37

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

How much does an interior designer cost in Tel Aviv?

Israeli studios typically charge either per square metre of the project or as a percentage of the construction budget, with a separate fee for site supervision. Full interior architecture on a renovation costs considerably more than styling and furniture selection, so be clear which service you are buying. Get the fee basis, the number of design rounds and what supervision includes in writing.

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

In Israel the line matters. Interior architecture involves changing the shell — layout, walls, plumbing and electrical routes, openings — and needs technical drawings and coordination with engineers. Interior design in the narrower sense covers finishes, joinery and furnishing. Most serious Tel Aviv apartment projects need the former.

Do I need permits to renovate a Tel Aviv apartment?

Often, yes. Internal non-structural work may not require a permit, but anything touching structure, external walls, plumbing risers or the building envelope generally does, and shared-house consent may be needed as well. In a preserved Bauhaus building the constraints are tighter still. Ask any studio you interview how they handle the permitting process.

How long does an apartment renovation take in Israel?

Design usually runs two to four months before anything is demolished, and construction on a full apartment gut commonly takes four to eight months, longer in a preserved building or where a permit is needed. Israeli holiday periods and the August slowdown extend the timetable, so build slack into any moving-in date.

Should I hire a designer who also supervises the build?

Generally yes. Design intent gets lost quickly on Israeli sites where the contractor is working from drawings alone, and supervision is where a good studio earns its fee. If a studio offers design only, budget separately for a project manager.
