New Yorkers aren’t typically associated with a taste for exuberant color. But for Liron Eldar-Ashkenazi & Gal Eldar, bold shades are a starting point. The creative couple converted an industrial-style apartment in Brooklyn into a modern space with big, colorful impact.

Inside, an enviable plant collection thrives under massive windows, while modern furniture mixes perfectly with design classics. We spoke to Liron and Gal about their space and how it’s an extension of their graphic, bright design style.

Give us an intro! What should we know about you?

We’re Liron Eldar-Ashkenazi & Gal Eldar. I’m a freelance design director and 3D artist and Gal is a senior product manager at a fin-tech company. We’ve been married for a little over 3 years and have been living together for around 10.

Can you tell us a bit about your home?

We live in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY in a medium size multi-family building. It’s a renovated post-war building with concrete ceilings and a generally open floorplan.

Did you fall in love with the space the first time you saw it?

We did indeed. We walked in and saw the large wall-to-wall windows, and how lit the apartment was at around 5 pm, it was the golden hour and the house was glowing. We decided right there and then.

Were you worried about anything in the space, before living there?

We were afraid it wasn’t going to be big enough to fit everything, but after we started putting in the furniture we were relieved to find out it was just an optical illusion and it is indeed spacious enough.

What room do you use the most? Did it surprise you?

Living-room kitchen combo and the fact that it’s all in one large space so light-filled is the great part about it. We love cooking and entertaining so it didn’t come as a surprise at all.

How would you describe your interior style? Has it evolved over the years?

We always loved cozy living spaces, calming colors and natural textures such as concrete and wood. Our last sofa was velvet grass-green, then we switched to our lovely yellow Floyd sofa, and our dining-room table has a light pink top.

Our apartment is filled with plants, they contribute a lot of bright colors and more natural textures. We have many types of woods, some are darker some light, but they all seem to work nicely together. We’re dedicated to filling our lives with bold colors.
