A 5-room apartment larger than the standard and super pampering designed for a young couple with 2 little girls, the starting point was that the couple wanted to introduce a design statement into the apartment, that they would feel belonging, that the design represents who they are. The defined design style was modern, up-to-date, Nordic with a bit of boho, accordingly a soft, bright, bright and inviting color palette was chosen, in combination with lots of textiles in carpets, curtains, pillows, bed covers, alongside wooden and rattan items.

All the cabinets in the apartment were custom designed, with careful planning for the customers' needs, which created a uniform language, masterful aesthetics, lots of design solutions for order and organization, and of course cabinets that became a captivating and central design piece of furniture in every room. This is reflected in a captivating and perfect smoky pink shade wardrobe in the entrance hall, a carefully designed wardrobe for storing shoes, bags, coats and Dyson, in the bathroom a perfect wooden blinds wardrobe for a dryer and washing machine and of course additional beautiful wardrobes in the master bedroom and bedrooms. "The customers actually entered the apartment with only a sofa, we purchased the rest of the furniture in advance, before the move with preliminary planning."

Interior designer Hilla Bronshtein says and adds: "We started by planning storage areas, we knew that today there is no load of equipment, but as the girls grow, there will be more and more equipment and a need for more storage. From experience, I know that what customers do not purchase with me today in the process, they probably will not purchase in the future and that planning The product is important for the long term and for the optimal and practical use of the space for the customer, so careful and in-depth thought was invested in the planning of storage areas.

Accordingly, one closet for clothes was selected and planned in each room, including storage space for large and small equipment, a shoe closet, an entry closet, a closet for a washing machine and dryer, A closet for laundry supplies, and many more chests for additional storage, so that each item will have its place and some items will be attached and hidden."

"In the master suite, which was larger than usual, we invested in high-quality furniture, lighting solutions, clothing, textiles and carpentry with lots of storage, including a 3-meter-long closet in the entrance hall to the room that was designed in a rustic style, in front of which we placed a low dresser intended for storing shoes. We chose a fabric pedestal that adds softness and curtains to the side A bed that combines rattan and wood to create harmony and a relaxing and harmonious feeling of order and cleanliness." A bathroom combined with a laundry room: "The client didn't like the contractor's children's bathtub. In order to get a bathroom exactly for her needs and personal taste, I built a new concept for this beautiful and large space. We dismantled tiles, painted walls, added a profile, quality carpentry, lighting, accessories for the most part. And this The result. A meticulous bathroom full of style with touches of color and everything you need in a practical and design aspect."

Home office: "In the home office, the thinking was to create a place of refuge for the client who works from home, a place that would allow him peace and disconnection and inspire him to work at ease. Accordingly, we combined personal details in the room to create inspiration, belonging and connection, and we made a closet where each item had its own place, learned open shelves for decoration. This is in a soft and relaxing color of light gray in the work table, we combined a white table with a wooden palette with a wink of a striking color that will bring joy."

Throughout the project, great emphasis was placed on lighting planning, we added more points beyond the contractor's standard. The fixtures we chose in a Nordic minimalist style corresponded with the concept of the whole apartment and added a lot of atmosphere and style. The walls received thought in colors, textures and accessories. Each carefully selected piece of furniture was designed and adapted to the space in terms of design and practicality. "I am proud to design for young couples who - 20 fingers have reached this status, proud to help build more homes in Israel especially at a time like this when a home takes on even more meaning than ever."
