Interior Design

Three designers. One family.
Every space we touch becomes a story worth living in.

Who we are

A family that designs
the way others breathe —
naturally.

We are Wael, May, and Mohamed Khaled. A husband, a wife, and their son — three designers who grew up around the same dinner table and now bring that same intimacy to every project they take on. Between us, we carry over three decades of experience across television sets, gallery floors, private residences, and everything in between. We are based in Lebanon and work wherever the work calls us.

Wael Khaled
Wael Khaled
Art Direction & Spatial Design

Wael holds a Master's in Interior Architecture from Lebanese University and spent twelve years as interior designer at Aljadeed TV, building entire worlds from a blank floor plan. He has directed sets for drama series broadcast across the Arab world, art directed video clips for George Wassouf and Ali El Deek, and won first prize at the Iskandariya Film Festival for a short film. He teaches art and sees every room as a scene waiting to be composed.

May Idriss
May Idriss
Residential Design & Material Curation

May holds the same Master's in Interior Architecture from Lebanese University, and has spent over two decades at an upscale Beirut gallery since 1998, helping people see their homes differently — not just what goes where, but how a fabric feels in afternoon light, how a piece of furniture anchors a room, how texture and tone work together to create a space that is unmistakably yours. Her residential portfolio spans private villas in Jordan and across Beirut. She is the reason a room feels right before you can explain why.

Mohamed Khaled
Mohamed Khaled
Modern Design & 3D Visualization

Fresh from a BA in Interior Design at the American University of Science and Technology, Mohamed brings the fluency of his generation — 3D visualization, technical precision, and a feel for what contemporary clients want. He has already worked alongside his father on television productions and trained at the same gallery alongside his mother. He is the bridge between what the family knows and where design is going.

Through the ages

Thirty years of practice didn't happen in a vacuum. Every room we walk into carries the memory of every room that came before it — and knowing that history is what separates a decorator from a designer.

Ancient Egyptian
3000 BC – 30 BC
Ancient Egyptian

Monumental symmetry, hieroglyphic ornament, and gold leaf on dark wood. Spaces built to outlast their inhabitants — permanence as the highest design value.

Greek and Roman
700 BC – 400 AD
Greek & Roman

The column, the arch, the mosaic floor. Proportion as philosophy. Every room built around the human body as its measure.

Byzantine
500 – 1400
Medieval & Byzantine

Gold mosaic ceilings, ribbed vaults, candlelit stone. Sacred geometry transformed into architecture. The room as devotion.

Renaissance
14th – 16th Century
Renaissance

The rediscovery of classical proportion. Frescoed walls, coffered ceilings, perspective as decoration. Beauty and reason in the same room.

Baroque
17th – 18th Century
Baroque & Rococo

Drama, excess, and gilded curves. Rooms designed to overwhelm and impress — light bounced off mirrors, ceilings painted like skies.

Art Nouveau
1890 – 1910
Art Nouveau

Nature as architecture. Sinuous lines, floral motifs, iron worked like vines. The first time a building tried to feel alive.

Art Deco
1920s – 1940s
Art Deco

Geometric glamour. Lacquered surfaces, chevron inlays, the marriage of luxury and modernity. Every room a statement of arrival.

Bauhaus
1919 – 1933
Bauhaus

Form follows function. No ornament for its own sake. The birth of the idea that great design belongs to everyone, not just the wealthy.

Mid Century Modern
1940s – 1960s
Mid-Century Modern

Clean lines, organic shapes, and materials that felt new — plywood, fibreglass, molded plastic. Optimism built into furniture.

Postmodern
1970s – 1990s
Postmodern

Rules broken deliberately. Irony, color, and historical references collide. The room as commentary on the rooms that came before.

Contemporary
2000 – Present
Contemporary

Everything at once — minimalism, maximalism, sustainability, technology, and the personal. The only rule is intention. This is where we work.

Design today

Find your aesthetic.

Styles aren't labels — they are starting points. Tell us which one pulls you, and we'll shape it into something that is entirely, unmistakably yours.

Minimalist
Minimalist

Nothing extra. Every object earns its place. Calm, deliberate, and quietly confident.

Bohemian
Bohemian

Layered textiles, global finds, warm color, and a room that feels like a life well-travelled.

Scandinavian
Scandinavian

Light, wood, and function. Warmth without clutter, simplicity without coldness.

Industrial
Industrial

Exposed concrete, raw steel, reclaimed wood. Beauty in the unfinished, honesty in the material.

Mediterranean
Mediterranean

Terracotta, mosaic, arched doorways, and afternoon light. The room as a place to breathe slowly.

Maximalist
Maximalist

More is more. Pattern on pattern, color on color, story on story. Rooms that reward attention.

Japandi
Japandi

Japanese wabi-sabi meets Scandinavian restraint. Natural materials, muted tones, imperfect beauty.

Eclectic
Eclectic

Curated contradiction. Vintage next to modern, East next to West. The room as a portrait of its owner.

Art Deco Revival
Art Deco Revival

Geometric glamour brought forward. Gold, lacquer, velvet, and bold symmetry for the contemporary home.

Biophilic
Biophilic

Living walls, natural light, organic forms. The belief that a home should feel like it grew from the earth.

Cluttercore
Cluttercore

Intentional abundance. Every surface a collection, every shelf a conversation. The opposite of empty, in the best way.

Contemporary Dark
Contemporary Dark

Deep tones, dramatic light, rich materials. Rooms that feel like night — moody, refined, unforgettable.

What we do

From a single room
to an entire vision.

01
Residential Design

Apartments, villas, private homes. We work with how you live — not just how a space looks — to create interiors that feel genuinely yours.

02
Commercial Spaces

Offices, showrooms, retail, hospitality. We understand that a commercial space is a statement — and we make sure it says the right thing.

03
Set & Art Direction

Television, film, video production. Wael brings two decades of professional set design to productions that demand environments as compelling as their stories.

04
Furniture & Material Curation

Selecting the right piece for the right space. We source, advise, and curate — from statement furniture to the fabrics that make a room breathe.

05
Space Planning

Layout, flow, function. Before anything is bought or built, we map out how a space should work — and how it should feel to move through it.

06
3D Visualization

See it before it exists. Mohamed's technical drawings and photorealistic renders let you make decisions with confidence, not guesswork.

Design notes
Material

Terrazzo is having its moment — and it deserves it.

What the Romans invented as a way to use leftover marble chips has become one of the most expressive surfaces in contemporary interiors. The appeal is in its imperfection — no two slabs are alike. When we specify terrazzo today, we're not chasing a trend. We're choosing a material that has outlasted every trend that ever tried to replace it.

— MWM

What to watch
Warm stone tones replacing cold grey as the neutral of choice in residential projects across the region.
Today's material
Travertine — the Italian limestone that feels like history underfoot.
Worth knowing
The most common mistake in small apartments is choosing furniture that is too small. Scale up — it makes the room feel larger, not smaller.
