Welcome to the interiors section of identity, where we delve into the vibrant and innovative world of interior design across Dubai, the UAE, and the broader MENA region, as well as the rest of the world. In this section, we celebrate the dynamic and diverse interiors that define the contemporary architectural landscape, showcasing projects that blend tradition with modernity, luxury with sustainability, and local influences with global trends.
Dubai, a city synonymous with opulence and cutting-edge design, stands at the forefront of the interiors revolution. From the sleek, contemporary aesthetics of its towering skyscrapers to the rich, cultural elements woven into its luxury villas, Dubai’s interiors are a testament to the city’s relentless pursuit of design excellence. The UAE, as a whole, offers a fascinating mix of interior design, where each emirate contributes its unique style and vision, creating a cohesive yet diverse design narrative.
Our focus also extends beyond Dubai and the UAE, reaching into the heart of the MENA region and beyond. We explore how interior designers are reimagining spaces in ways that honor the region’s rich heritage while embracing the future. Morocco’s riads and Saudi Arabia’s modernist homes showcase the varied and inspiring interiors of the Middle East, offering a wealth of creativity and innovation.
Join us as we journey through the captivating world of interiors in Dubai, the UAE, and the MENA region, looking to the rest of the world as case studies and examples. Discover the trends, meet the designers, and explore the spaces that are shaping the future of interior design in this vibrant part of the world and beyond.
