Modern Look

Maya Sheinberger Interior Design renovated a135 m² apartment for a young couple with two girls in Yad Eliyahu neighborhood in Tel Aviv.

The entrance opens into the living room and has a large window facing the trees next to the building. A white iron minimalist library with thin shelves is installed on the TV wall, providing room for a TV and shelving for displays of books and ornaments. The entire space is paved with natural oak hardwood floors. A graphite gray corner sofa was placed with a black-and-white photo by Israeli photographer Ailon Glitzenstein above it.

On the right side of the entrance, we find the dining area and the kitchen that were enlarged at the expense of the canceled guest restroom. Designed in an L shape, the kitchen offers the low cabinets, a sink, a dishwasher, and a stove on one side and, on the other long side, a high cabinet unit with a refrigerator, oven, and microwave. A peninsula provides additional storage as well as seating for light meals. The finish of the kitchen cabinets are smoky gray, and the countertop is white with delicate tendrils in shades of gray. For the backsplash, hand-painted bricks were chosen in the same shade as the surface with a glossy finish and placed vertically to create a sense of higher space. A strong L- shaped recessed lighting was chosen, as well as recessed spots lights above the peninsula to compensate there is no window in the kitchen area. Dining area and kitchen are arranged in a way to maximize the available space. The designers selected a delicate oak dining table, surrounded by chairs in a natural color, and above it, a black and brass asymmetrical light fixture. The dining area features a large artwork by Israeli artist Tamar Branitzky that incorporates red and green colors.

A bedroom served as an office was reduced so that the master suite could be enlarged. It includes a wooden bed with a braided back in natural color; two metal chests in deep red color are designed to serve as nightstands and are incorporated with brass lamps. Everything is in the background of a wall painted in gray-stone hues which emphasize the bed's delicate hue. In front of the bed is a wall cabinet with white facades. Parallel to the cabinet, a white tracking light was installed, and geometric art was hung on the wall. The designers chose a rope rug and a white mesh curtain for the window. Master bathroom has an urban feel: concrete gray tiles combined with black faucets and a cabinet with natural oak veneer finish and white ceramic surface. An additional storage space is provided by the mirror cabinet above it.

Next to the master bedroom is the children's room. A combination of white and oak furniture was chosen for it. Smoky green paint was applied to the back wall, and a white Roman curtain was chosen for the window. The space is decorated with pink textiles and a black and white carpet in the center.

The third bedroom serves as a home office, with a wooden table and natural-colored chair. Geometric patterned rugs in natural shades of beige and brown add color and texture to the room. The floor of the main bathroom has a clean design like the rest of the apartment. It is covered with gray tiles: the walls with rectangular white tiles that are vertically arranged, and for the sink wall, rhombuspatterned tiles in a smoky light blue color were used. Brass wall light fixtures and brushed finish taps were also selected. It features a glossy white sink surface with an oak veneer cabinet, and an over-the-sink mirror with a matching oak frame.
