For almost two decades, Noor Charchafchi has been the Director of the award-winning Celine Interior Design, based in the UK. As a cross-discipline interior and architecture practice, the firm’s focus is on creating exceptional homes and spaces that truly empower a client’s standard of living. The focus is on timeless, classical design reflecting British traditions and heritage, with contemporary Middle Eastern touches.
“The design company looks to spread its wings further and expand this year with new international offices,” says Noor Charchafchi. “With my Iraqi heritage, it’s long been a dream of mine to return to the Middle East and support the growth of the region. I want to ensure we bring together the most talented individuals, to build extraordinary residential and commercial venues, uniting unique creative visions, and design excellence. We want to invest back into this beautiful region and to hopefully become part of its continued growth and success.”

Due to demand, 2024 will mark the company’s rapid expansion and growth, launching globally into France and the Middle East, with offices opening in Monaco, Dubai, and Riyadh. Charchafchi’s success reflects the level of dedication to the client and their attitude towards the professionalism of design. Celine Interior Design has worked across high profile residential and commercial property development projects, in the UK and internationally. These include some of the world’s most desirable addresses, Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Monaco, Cap Ferrat, the Swiss Alps, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and many more.
Celine Interior Design’s team are going through the final procedures of officially forming international offices, with the correct licenses and approvals in place. The firm recently launched a private yacht and aviation service and are now designing some of the most unique models in true Celine Interior Design style.
