My name is Michal Shalgi Hirsch, and I am an interior architect and designer.
I believe that the spaces we live in impact and influence our well-being, health, and happiness. As well as our creativity. Productivity and overall feelings.

I Love to take a space and transform it into a well-planned and beautifully designed exciting space to indulge life in.

It makes me happy to make people happy through my design.
I also love to travel, dance, read, meet with people, and explore.

Since August 2018, I live in the heart of beautiful Amsterdam. With my beloved husband and three girls.

Here is a list I prepared for you of great design stores in Amsterdam (or online) where you can find inspiration and shop for some amazing designed furniture and house decor.
It is also a must-have for anyone who is before or In the midst of a renovation or an interior design project.
Feel free to send it to a friend that can benefit from it.
My list consists of stores in different price ranges. Some of them show and sell the best designs in the world and priced accordingly, some are moderately priced and some are very affordable.
I mostly recommend purchasing from a mixture of stores with some differences in their price ranges. In this way you can have some magnificent pieces, that will catch the eye and can last you a lifetime. And yet save on your expenses in places it will less make a difference.
For instance, if you want to redesign your bedroom, you can choose a basic wardrobe and get more special light fixtures and an amazing bed. Add a simple bed-side nightstand (can also be a shelf or a stool), and go for an amazing drawers unit!
In the end, the combination of all things, along with the decore will make the total look.
