Realize Your Dream By Designing Your Home In Israel

Picture this!

It’s 7 PM.  You and your spouse just landed in Israel after a long flight from New York.  You may be tired, but you can’t wait to get to your new apartment in Jerusalem.  You purchased the property less than 2 years ago and are excited to see if the finished design is everything you’ve hoped for.

Your professional interior designer is there, smiling, key-in-hand, to open the door to your dream home. And it’s even more beautiful than you imagined.

This is the experience that my clients, Barry and Michele Susson had when they arrived at their new, custom-designed home in Jerusalem. And this can be a reality for you too.

Create the kitchen of your dreams

When you enter the apartment, the kitchen is straight ahead to the right, equipped with the latest appliances. There’s a subzero refrigerator to keep food fresh, the Gaggenau ovens to make Michele feel like a professional chef, the Miele dishwashers for high-quality cleaning, and even the warming drawer she requested.  

Michele loves how everything came together, with the colorful backsplash, beautiful countertop, and sleek cabinets for ample storage.  And when she sits on a bar stool at the island, she can look through the large windows and take in the magnificent view of Jerusalem.

Can you see yourself sitting in your kitchen, taking in the breathtaking view of the Jerusalem hills?

Ensure luxury in the living and dining areas

Michele wanders into the dining room with the gorgeous oval table that perfectly matches the accents of the bookcase.  In addition to closed storage and shelves slightly hidden behind textured glass, the open shelves will allow her to proudly display her Shabbat candlesticks, the crystal vase, and the Hanukkah menorah that belonged to her great-grandmother.

Michele and Barry can’t wait to invite the family over to sit around the table for Shabbat dinners.

In the living room, the rich, blue-velvet pillows perfectly accent the light beige sofas. Barry and Michele can’t wait to curl up in the blue armchairs to read. And there’s plenty of room for the family to get together, relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Does having a home in Jerusalem make Shabbat sweeter?

Discover the unexpected design for bedroom privacy

It’s hard to believe that a barn door separates the public spaces from private bedroom areas. Creating a cohesive theme is part of designing a luxury home and the barn door provided the influence for the Susson’s apartment. Barry had helped select the door on a trip to Israel, where we also chose tiles for the bathrooms and floors, as well as the furniture, lights, and kitchen materials.

Inspiration comes from many places, and the artistic paintings the Sussons shared with me showed their love of the country, wood, and easy living.  The barn door slides to conveniently divide the spaces. It perfectly matches their taste, is a conversation piece, and creates a uniqueness for their home.

Having unusual and distinctive pieces in your house gives your home a personal touch and creates individuality. 

Custom-design bedroom is sleek and maximizes the layout 

With a custom-designed built-in bedroom, everything has a clean, uniform look and is aesthetically pleasing. Moving from the US or Canada to Israel might mean downsizing, so by designing the furniture, you can eliminate wasted space and create optimal storage.  

The Susson’s master bedroom has an accent wall behind the bed as a focal point to add interest and give depth and texture to the room. All Barry could say was, “Wow, this is what you meant.”

Whether you select furniture or choose a customized built-in design, you want your bedroom to meet your storage needs as well as create a comfortable and elegant space for you to sleep. 

Turning your dream into reality

Buying an apartment or moving to Israel is a big step, something that you’ve been planning for a while. You want a home that meets your needs, caters to your unique tastes, and fits your lifestyle.  Like Michele, you might not be able to visualize the final design until you walk into the space.

An expert interior designer will guide you, take inspiration from you, and understand what you are looking for in your future home.  You’ll be able to fulfill a dream and get a home you love in the land of Israel.
