Designed around you.
Built around excellence.

Our Story

A studio built patiently, over twenty years.

ILID&OEA Interiors was founded to bring a slower, more considered approach to interior design and fit-out in Dubai — one that puts the client's life, not the designer's ego, at the centre of every plan.

Over two decades our founder has delivered homes for private families, restaurants that shape hospitality moments, offices that reflect the way people actually work, and retail environments that carry brands with quiet confidence.

We work with a small circle of trusted craftsmen, joiners, stonemasons and specialist trades. That means every project gets the same standard of finish — whether it's a single-room renovation or a full turnkey villa.

Interior & Architectural Designer

Twenty years in interior design and fit-out have taught Sinmar that great spaces don't come from software — they come from asking the right questions early and detailing patiently.

Trained in interior architecture and seasoned across residential, hospitality and commercial commissions in the UAE, Sinmar leads every project personally: from the first site walk-through to the final piece of hand-styled décor.

The philosophy is simple: design for the way a client will use a room in ten years' time, not for the first photograph.

Our Values

Three commitments that never move.

01

Integrity

Straight answers, honest budgets, and a plan you can trust to hold up on site.

02

Craftsmanship

Everything we specify has to survive being lived with. That standard is non-negotiable.

03

Partnership

Every project is a conversation. Our best work comes from clients who stay in the room.

Our Approach

Listen. Design. Build.

Three words that sound simple, and take twenty years to do well.

Let's create something beautiful together.
