It all feels sort of miraculous.
Sunlight streams through floral stained glass slivers, while mirrors glow warmly from the inside out.

My style is colorful yet calm.
I love adding character and personality to our previously blandnew-build home.
I enjoy subtly clashing patterns and textures in a way that isnt overwhelming, particularly in the bedroom.

I love including pieces that are culturally relevant, such as woodenmabkharas(oud burners) or Islamic art.

Do you have a favorite design feature or room?

Its overlooked by the trees at the back so it can get quite dark.
The pink base is calming and light, with just enough color to sustain me!
I spend a lot of time in the living room!
