Не секрет, что дизайн-интерьера в Дубае- это история, в которой много составляющих… Это и про меняющийся стиль и предпочтения, это и про то, как непросто сделать ремонт в таком активном и живом, казалось бы, хабе как Дубай. Это и про стремительно развивающуюся потребность собственников сделать апгрейд свих об’ектов для разных целей. 
Суть в том, что недвижимость- это определяющая индустрия в ОАЭ, поэтому дизайн интерьера идет с ней «рука об руку», а зачастую, определяет финальную стоимость объекта. Обо всем этом поговорили с Валерией Патель, которая «окунула» меня в реальность дизайнерских будней.
