What if the best inspiration for a space comes from the person living in it?

The Story Behind the Space | حكاية المكان Where experience meets creativity, and every space tells a different story. What makes a space feel truly personal? Is it the color? The fabric? The materials? Or is it the story of the person who will live in it? In Episode 03 of Hakayat Lawn | حكايات لون, Dalia Laz sits down with Dina Salem, founder of DS Designs Studio, for an intimate conversation about her journey in interior design, the projects that shaped her creative vision, and the experience she gained from working with different clients, spaces, and design challenges. Dina takes us back to the beginning of her journey and shares what inspired her to build her career in interior design, the projects she loved working on, and the lessons that stayed with her along the way. The conversation goes deeper into one of the most powerful elements of interior design: how color, fabric, texture, and materials can completely transform the mood and personality of a space. For Dina, every project starts with inspiration—but inspiration doesn't always look the same. It can come from the architecture, From the client, From a material, From a color. Or from simply understanding how someone wants to feel in their own space. She also takes us behind her creative process: how she approaches a new project, how she translates inspiration into a concept, and how she chooses the colors, fabrics, textures, and materials that bring that vision together. But perhaps the most valuable part of the conversation is what different clients and different projects have taught her. Because no two spaces are the same, And no two clients tell the same story. With every project comes a new challenge, a new perspective, and another opportunity to understand how design can influence the way we live, feel, and experience a space. 🎙️ Hakayat Lawn | حكايات لون A podcast by Esorus × Naguib Selim Hosted by Dalia Laz In this episode: • Dina Salem’s journey into interior design • The projects that shaped her creative vision • Lessons learned from different clients and projects • How color changes the mood and personality of a space • The relationship between fabric, texture, and atmosphere • Where designers find inspiration for new projects • Dina’s process of choosing materials and finishes • Turning inspiration into a complete interior concept • How client relationships influence the design process • The experience and perspective gained through years of designing spaces Because great interior design isn't only about creating something beautiful.
