So nice! I love the simplicity and rawness of their work. It just goes to show how you can build and design in a really great way with raw materials without having to use paint and plaster/concrete. Green! I like!

Hi Mia,
Thanks for the compliments. The cut out lampshade doesn’t burn, I’ve had it for over a year now. It’s made of special paper, I think its coated with wax.

Pretty house but I agree with the others that a bigger rug would help tie everything together. Also the couch set is a bit dark and too coordinated which makes it boring. I think a living room using different colors, fabrics and designs can be interested, if not used in excess. If you can’t replace the entire set add a different color chair, for example or throw some colorful pillows on the couch. I would go with blue like the paintings. I am not a big fan of curtains, I like lots of light. Also what up with that glass table, doesn’t seem to fit. Overall, a great house, with lots of light and space.

Great appartment. I love the cut out lampshade. I’ve wanted one for a while but I’m scared it will burn.
I like the idea of the Zen area. I always like to have soemwhere nice and neat to look at to calm down.

I think the apartment is beautiful, even if I personally could never do white and uncluttered. I’m even more impressed if that apartment is in Tel Aviv. Where is it/how big is it?

Paint the walls a creamy off-white, maybe with some light blue accents (picking up the blue from the paintings) leave the ceiling white. Window treatments. Maybe lighting above the paintings?

Furniture if you can afford to do this: move the bookcase somewhere else if possible. Would it fit on the wall on the right of the window?
Like Tammy said, a bigger rug. And Definitely agree with her colour choices for a sofa as well as her call for some variation.
I would try to get an large L-shaped sofa that sits nicely in that corner, a much larger coffee table on the bigger carpet, and the additional chairs around it, couple of nice ottomans. Keep it warm and light. That should fill up your space nicely.
