Wafi Tagleb Inspirations And Motivations
Wafi Tagleb believes that design inspiration can take many different forms, in addition to platforms on social media, such as Instagram and Pinterest, he feels like sometimes the best way to get artistically motivated is to travel or simply leave the office and go for a walk. “Traveling exposes you to various cultures, people, and experiences, by immersing yourself in an area that’s far from home, you get out of your comfort zone and open your eyes to new possibilities in your creative projects”, he said.
He adores the “Back to Nature” trend. He stated that for him and many other designers, the three components of a dream home are nature, emotion, and timeless design. Because it keeps the place alive and full of memories, he likes to incorporate natural components like marble and wood into his designs.
For Wafi Tagleb, one of the hardest responsibilities is presenting the newest trends while retaining a sense of timeless style. ” When a room becomes old after a few months, you don’t want your client to feel upset.” For him, one of the most difficult skills to acquire is remaining current with trends and knowing how to integrate them in a tasteful manner.
Wafi Tagleb Design Essence
You can see that he loves statues and artwork and uses a variety of textures and materials in his designs to make them stand out. “Bayt al omer” is an Arabic word/saying to describe the dream house or “home sweet home” that Wafi Tagleb mentioned as one of his focal points when creating, to show and reflect what his clients love in their sweet home design.
For Wafi Tagleb, learning a little bit about each of the styles and how they differ from one another is a wonderful place to start when working on an interior design project. Depending on the preferences of his clients, he employs modern, contemporary, minimalist, new classic, or even classic design styles in his projects, but he is always trying to steer them toward a better design version.
Wafi Tagleb thinks that our culture has an impact on how we perceive the world. A range of perspectives and extensive personal and professional experience on a global scale can provide fresh ideas that encourage you to perceive the world in new ways. He believes that being in Dubai, is like a little version of the cultures of the entire world, and his consumers will likely come from many countries and have a variety of opinions and viewpoints, which delights him. His favorite design was the first villa in Dubai in 2020, “I still remember it as we did a great job regarding the design and actual work. I always link my success to my client’s feedback and satisfaction”.
Designers should have more focus on lighting and furniture details while creating new ideas, and they should constantly consider themselves to be the client or the end user. This is Wafi Tagleb‘s finest recommendation for new designers. “Believe me, if you put all of your beautiful thoughts in the design, the client will never reject it or dislike it. Defend on your ideas, but remember always that the key is to understand the client’s needs first, the more in-depth knowledge you have, the more it will help you to create amazing designs.” – Wafi Tagleb.
