Designer Interview With Merna Sami
In this designer interview, Merna Sami claims that her love of design began long ago when she was a young girl. She has always enjoyed using color and admiring vibrant artwork. She added that she enjoyed following her uncle around to see what he was up to in the world of design. She had a strong preference for the department of interior and furniture design when she first started college.
“In my childhood, I loved looking at pictures filled with colors, playing with colors and choosing them. I loved to look at paintings drawn in distinctive colors.”

She recently created this stunning living room with the AGATHA RUG. We were honored to have her use Rug’Society products in her designs. The charming AGATHA RUG, with its abstract pattern, adds some fluidity to this warm and sophisticated contemporary living room. Merna Sami specifically created this space with the Agatha rug in mind.

Since graduating, Merna Sami has had the dream of starting her own business, but she feels she must first gain more experience before moving forward with this. She has worked for numerous interior design firms in order to achieve this, where she gained teamwork skills, learned how to develop ideas, and more. She took internships at places like Engco and Elmasria, to name a couple. She claimed that over the course of this time, her drive and desire to create more independent projects only grew. We hope to see this dream come true in the near future.

“I love how the designers and architects think about creating a space in a wonderful and comfortable way for the user.”

One of her greatest challenges to date has been a client who demanded something novel that he had never seen before. It is not always easy to come up with something completely innovative. He liked all of her design suggestions, but he wasn’t persuaded, so Merna Sami had to create a mood board with a variety of suggestions that matched his preferences.
She even had to come up with a unique way to design furniture for this project in order to satisfy the client’s request for something he had never seen imitated before. She admitted that it was one of the hardest times she had to design a space.
