What it is all about?
There are preconceived notions about interior design being nothing but just moving around furniture and playing with décor, but it is so much more than that. Interior Design is the journey of shaping an interior space through spatial volume and surface treatment. It is all about designing your space with unity and harmony to bring positivity: which, in turn, gets you greater happiness, prosperity, and peace, generating an overall sense of well-being.
Luxury Interior Design
There is a substantial difference between interior design and luxury interior design. Interior designers often focus on fulfilling the necessities based on the client's comfort. However, Luxury interior designers prioritize both elegance and comfort. Luxury interior designers go above and beyond to provide personal consultation rather than standardized proposals and general advice. Zeitgeist Interior aims to do just that by setting up personalized consultations with its clients to cultivate solid connections and give them a luxury experience.

We work as a team with our clients collaboratively to make their vision come to life.

Meet the Founder
Sarah Badrh
I’m Sarah Badrh, founder and creator of Zeitgeist Interior born in Vienna/Austria living in Dubai. I have over 15 years of professional experience working in the fashion industry in managing positions for renowned and international companies, with a Bachelor of Arts degree. My passion for fashion, design and architecture finds common ground in interior design and home decor, and that's how Zeitgeist Interior was born.
I think and read in pictures. I believe in the magic of creating something out of nothing, and my passion for creativity drives me to do so every day.
My ability to build strong communications with my clients gives me insight into what they truly want. I bravely take responsibility for my client's investments and create spaces that speak for themselves. It is my ingenuity and problem-solving attitude that help me to design homes that flourish.
“I strongly believe that a home provides a canvas on which we can illustrate who we are...” (Erin Gates; Element of Style 2014)

Our designers consult you about developing a fresh perspective for your home or room design. Your conversations about your interests and inspiration drive us to the project's conceptual elements.

Space Planning
We approach our design process with an in-depth analysis of how you will use your space. At first, we sketch the zoning of the specific areas according to their activity. Next, we draw out the circulation pattern to understand the movement of people throughout the space. Lastly, we finish the plan by adding details of all the furniture, equipment, and hardware placement.
Color, Materials & Finish
Color and Materials play a vital role in defining a space; it is imperative to choose your colors wisely, as it's a fundamental aspect of interior design. At Zeitgeist, we assess the room, its functionality, shape, and proportion to curate a specific mood board for that particular room. We also create a list of materials used in our recent projects for you. Each material's style and texture will add a different dimension to your space.
Furniture & Accessories
Furniture placement is equally essential in interior design as color or material selection. A well-designed furniture layout can transition a cramped room into an open, free-flowing space. At first, the purpose and usability of the area are determined. Then its circulation pattern is drawn out to create the furniture layout carefully. Enough space for circulation is ensured to lay out a furniture plan that is clean and cohesive.
Patio Design
If you want to add charm to your backyard by putting up a patio, we can make that happen. Why go on vacations when you can create your summer paradise in your backyard? We can make your Pinterest patio dreams come true by designing the space just how you like it. From design to fruition, our designers and builders will work with you to deliver the outcome you love.
Design process
INTERIOR DESIGN IS SO MUCH MORE THAN SIMPLY BUYING FURNITURE
Changing your home is an exciting new chapter that can quickly become overwhelming without the right help and guidance. The process of turning a house into your home takes a lot of planning, creative problem solving, budgeting, and clear communication. My goal is to not only build your home but also build a long-lasting relationship with you along the process. I believe that the designer/client relationship needs to be strong as it will foster nothing but clear communication and sharing of ideas.
Getting to know you
We will start our journey with a casual meet-up at your current residence, where I will meet you and your family. Leave your space the way it is, and don't clean up during the visit. I like visiting my client's spaces in their most original form. I like seeing the mess, the clutter, as it gives me a glimpse into your habitat, your world. I also want to observe how you function in your space. All of these give me a good sense of my client and the kind of space they truly desire. Because designing a house is not just about making it look beautiful but also about making it functional and comfortable. After having a mindful conversation with you, I can start visualizing the process. Following that, we set up a timeline and a budget. Next, we finalize it in a written document to give you a clear idea of the entire process.
Design concept and planning
This is the conceptual phase where I will make keen observations on your home and your lifestyle and combine them with your ideas about your dream home. I will then make sketches and create layouts and floor plans for your final approval. By the end of this process, you will receive conceptual sketches, proposed floor plans, furniture suggestions, lighting suggestions, recommendations on window covering, flooring, wall treatments etc. While going through this process, you can visualize how your home will come together and request changes where necessary.
Purchasing and Procurement
When the final design is officially approved, we will set up the final budget and head toward the purchasing and procurement phase. I source the customized furnishings, lighting fixtures, window coverings etc., and keep tabs on the process till they are safely delivered to your doorstep. Lastly, we can finally set a date of completion for the interior design of your space.
Installation and Final touches
I check all your furniture to ensure the quality, and then they are prepped for installation. Meanwhile, the painters will start painting the walls with the chosen color schemes. Once the painting is done, furniture and lights are installed. Following that, the final touches, such as the window coverings and rugs, are added. Finally, I hand over your new home and make sure you have everything set for a hassle-free move-in.
