Shirly Zaken sitting on a sofa in the warm living room of a penthouse in Jerusalem, with long sand-coloured curtains

06Penthouse in Jerusalem

This penthouse is wrapped in sand tones. Long sheer curtains fall the full height of the windows, and cladding of vertical wood slats warms the living and dining areas, which open onto a wide view. The living area has a rounded sofa and thick armchairs. The dining area has an oval table and cream chairs, with a dark glass wall behind them.

The kitchen is dark and restrained, with a long island in a pale tone and a lit display cabinet beside it. The bedrooms have herringbone parquet, and in the children's room a painted wall with a giraffe and a zebra brings gentle colour. The bathroom has ribbed glass strips and a dark wood vanity.

Planning your home? I would love to hear about it.
