OD interior design has designed the remodel of an apartment in Israel, that includes a kitchen with a large kitchen island that doubles as a dining table.

The kitchen was originally designed as a separate space, however, the designers removed the wall to open it up to the living room.

This allowed for an island to be added to the kitchen. Not only does the island act as an additional food prep surface, but it’s also used as a secondary dining area with room for six seated people.

All three of the bathrooms in the apartment were designed with the Nordic style in mind, with wood elements complemented by white, black, and grey.
