Wafi Tagleb’s inspirations and motivations
Interior Design, as we all know, is the art and technique of improving the interior of a building by creating a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing ambience. WT Arch+Design has consistently exceeded the Client’s expectations and delivered high-quality Designs on time and within budget by prioritising the Client’s commercial and residential goals.
Wafi Tagleb believes that design inspiration can come in a variety of forms. He believes that, in addition to social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest, the best way to get artistically motivated is to travel or simply leave the office and go for a walk. “Traveling exposes you to different cultures, people, and experiences; by immersing yourself in an area far from home, you get out of your comfort zone and open your eyes to new possibilities in your creative projects,” he said.

He is a big fan of the “Back to Nature” movement. He stated that nature, emotion, and timeless design are the three components of a dream home for him and many other designers. He likes to incorporate natural elements like marble and wood into his designs because it keeps the place alive and full
One of the most challenging tasks for Wafi Tagleb is to present the latest trends while maintaining a sense of timeless style. “You don’t want your client to be upset when a room becomes old after a few months.” One of the most challenging skills for him to master is staying current with trends and knowing how to incorporate them tastefully.
Wafi Tagleb Essence
He clearly enjoys statues and artwork, and he employs a variety of textures and materials in his designs to make them stand out. “Bayt al omer” is an Arabic word/saying that Wafi Tagleb used to describe the dream house or “home sweet home” that he used as one of his focal points when creating, to show and reflect what his clients love in their sweet home design.
Learning about each of the styles and how they differ from one another, according to Wafi Tagleb, is a great place to start when working on an interior design project. Depending on his clients’ preferences, he uses modern, contemporary, minimalist, new classic, or even classic design styles in his projects. Still, he always attempts to steer them toward a better design version.
Wafi Tagleb believes that our culture influences how we perceive the world. A diverse set of perspectives and extensive personal and professional experience on a global scale can inspire you to see the world in new ways. He believes that living in Dubai is like living in a miniature version of the world’s cultures and that his customers will likely come from a variety of countries with a wide range of opinions and viewpoints, which he finds fascinating. “I still remember it because we did a great job regarding the design and actual work,” he says of the first villa in Dubai in 2020. “I always attribute my success to the feedback and satisfaction of my clients.”
