English-Speaking Interior Design Studio in Israel
Creating thoughtfully designed homes for Aliyah, second-home owners, and overseas clients
Citrin Design is a native English-speaking award-winning interior design studio based in Israel, specialising in renovations, new builds and home styling projects in Caesarea, Zichron Yaakov, Tel Aviv, and the surrounding areas.
We create homes that feel comfortable and timeless with a strong sense of place. Whether you are building a new home, renovating an existing property, or furnishing a holiday home in Israel, we guide you through the design process from concept to completion.
As mother tongue English speakers who have lived and worked in Israel for nearly 30 years, we understand both the expectations of international homeowners and the realities of building in Israel. Our role is to bridge that gap, allowing clients to navigate the process with confidence and clarity.
The Citrin Design team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They brought us beautiful design ideas which we would never have accessed on our own and used reliable, pleasant and experienced suppliers throughout. We had many fun times and felt very safe with them.

Designing a home in Israel while living abroad
Many of our clients begin their journey while still living in the UK, North America, South Africa or Australia. Some are planning Aliyah and creating a long-term family home. Others are purchasing a second home in Israel or renovating a property they visit throughout the year. Whatever the circumstance, most share similar concerns:
- How do I manage a renovation when I am not in Israel?
- Who can I trust to oversee the countless decisions?
- How can I create a beautiful home that reflects my taste without being physically present?
Our established remote working process allows projects to progress smoothly wherever our clients are located. Through clear communication, detailed planning and regular updates, we provide the level of service, organisation and attention to detail our international clients are accustomed to.
Why local and overseas clients choose Citrin Design
- Native English communication: No language barriers, misunderstandings or cultural gaps. We communicate clearly and efficiently throughout the entire process
- Local knowledge: With many years of experience working in Israel, we understand the local building industry, suppliers, tradespeople and regulations
- Remote project management: We have extensive experience managing projects for clients living abroad, providing structured communication, clear decision-making processes, and local oversight throughout design and construction
- A cohesive design vision: We create homes that are calm, welcoming and enduring. Rather than following short-lived trends, we focus on thoughtful design, quality materials and spaces that reflect the people who live in them.
Citrin Design helped me create an instant home for me and my kids, a refuge in the midst of a turbulent reality outside. Despite what felt like a crazy timeline, every design decision felt thoughtful and intentional. The ability to create a sense of belonging, connection, and history in our new home in such a short period of time is an extraordinary design achievement, and I’m deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness, creativity, and care that made it all possible.
