"At this time, it is rare to meet someone as organized, calm and ethical as Ibtihal. She knows exactly what her client needs and what their priorities are. She knows what needs to be done and what needs to be accomplished every day. Nothing seemed to overwhelm her, no matter how difficult it is to find the suitable items for the design you agreed on. For example; she kept looking and searching for a suitable painting for weeks without giving-up until she finally found the perfect one. She demonstrated an incredible level of understanding and professionalism throughout this entire process. Our project was challenging and Ibtihal managed it entirely from A-Z on her own as we were out of the country. Additionally, the location was far away but this did not stop her from delivering the project on time without sacrificing any quality. She helped us in making decisions by always offering the right advice and following up every item. Ibtihal's creativity made our vacation dream house real! Without thinking twice, I would refer Ibtihal to anyone looking for a creative interior designer as I am sure they will be as happy with her as we were. Mey & khalid "

"The name speaks for itself - thank you for bringing dazzle in every room of our home. I loved that you were able to capture our essence while translating every vision behind each of the rooms in a functional way to suite our needs and the flexibility to update and complement the kids especially! With the limited time to design, customize, source, working with existing furniture, moving houses and not to forget the challenges of covid - you have really exceeded our expectations and most of all your awareness to details , your availability at all times and your dedication to understand each of us to tie all the details togethers ! I can’t thank you enough and truly enjoyed working with you and I wouldn’t have asked for anyone else to work with ! Thank you "

"Dear Ibtihal, The look of joy and the smiles on the children's faces yesterday at the reveal of the playroom was priceless! Thank you for your professionalism, patience and great taste! The bunk bed, the tree house, the furnishings..all beautiful! Thanks to you, the children are going to have great memories at their grandparents house. You really captured the log cabin feel well. Warm regards, "

"When COVID-19 hit and we started spending more and more time at home I knew I had to turn my hand to my girls’ room to make it more comfortable and inviting to them at this special age of 4 and 6. You’re only that age once! I knew Ibtihal was my go to designer. She had the patience, the determination, and I knew she would listen to me AND the children. And she did. Again, dealing with all the suppliers, helping choose the right fabrics, spending hours at the curtain store to make sure everyone understood the instructions and had the right materials that matched. She did it all with a fabulous smile. Even when I was willing to give up she stayed positive and her confidence in such a tumultuous time was admirable. The room turned out amazing. The whole family loves spending time there now! Thank you so much! Until our next project!!"

Thoroughly enjoyed worked with Ibtihal of Dazzling Designs. She took all the stress out of the makeover by dealing with all the suppliers, making sure the custom made head rest was safe, supervising the work (at all hours of the day) and most importantly doing all the running around to get the most perfect pieces to make the room homely, warm and inviting. Handing the project to her also meant it’ll be done in a timely manner! She also has an added bonus of patience to deal with a tween and making sure she reflects her character. Much respect. Mona

"It is with great pleasure that we write this testimonial for Ibtihal Abu Jarad for a work very well done in our Dubai townhouse , with the challenge of us being out of the country for the entire period of her work . Ibtihal has made my dream come true with her exceptional work and ideas that transformed our house into something I’ve always dreamed of having . Ibtihal is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about her work and on the top of that , she is very patient and hard working designer. We highly recommend her as a well professional designer "

"A well deserved shout out and heart felt thank you to Ibtihal A.J of Dazzling Designs! Some of you may remember me posting a couple of months ago asking for helping designing my nursery. Enter Ibtihal. She offered to help me realise my dream into reality and seven weeks later, here is the result! I'm so happy with it and sometimes I sit here in my little refuge to escape my other two children and indulge in the smell of my newborn's hair! Ibtihal was the kindest, most patient and yet stern designer i could have hoped for. She offered me guidance, perspective and discipline! What I loved about working with her is that she gave me as much control as I wanted and took over when i needed her to at the very end. She made me part of the decision making process (the bit I love) while taking care of all of the heavy lifting (the bit I hate!) and also kept a few tricks up her sleeve along the way because she wanted to give me that "grand reveal moment." And what a moment it was! I love what she has produced for me and Ibti, I hope you're ready for the next project; the girls' bedroom!!! "

"Ibti is an exceptional and talented designer. She created a beautifully decorated home for my family which reflects our style in a way I would never have imagined. She understands design from the ground up and is extremely creative with space, fabric, furnishings, accessories, and I could go on. She remains on budget and yet goes out of her way to accommodate. She is a pleasure to work with and was able to incorporate everything I wanted to maintain. I was extremely happy to have had the pleasure of working with Ibti. I can’t wait to partner with her on another project! "

"I would highly recommend Ibtihal's services. She is Extremely professional, Creative and a wonderful person to work with."

" We love our space so much, it fits what we need and our personality and i can't say enough about ibti. She is down to earth, listens very very well and has an eye for things. This was a project that i was skeptical to begin with but is 100% worth the time and effort. I'm extremely happy to have done this and with her"

" Dear Ibtihal, I am grateful to have been referred to you. The journey since we started corresponding in May 2024 was absolute bliss. I am thrilled to see the results of the the project (phase 1 and 2) and sad at the same time to stop working with you as client on all the selection and shopping lists. It was so much fun. Your attention to detail, passion and enthusiasm made every step so enjoyable. We are away from home and working on the rooms with you made our time away bearable as it made us look forward for going home and wait for the end of the tunnel for a new chapter of our lives. Your professionalism and dedication is second to none. I cannot wait to work with you on other areas of the house in the years to come. (I even suggested interning for you) Thank you for all of us from the bottom of our hearts. All the best, Alshamsi family ‎"

"A big shout out and heartfelt thank you to Ibtihal of Dazzling Designs! This is a lady unlike any other. Her dedication, passion for design, and attention to detail really shines though in everything she does. I had the honor and privilege of her working on three different rooms in my house, each of which turned out so special and way beyond expectations! What really stood out for me was how she took the time to really understand what would work best for my family and made sure she incorporated that in all the designs and pieces chosen. The result being extremely stunning spaces that felt both personal and exceptional. One of the rooms Ibtihal worked on was my two year old daughter’s who now literally wants to spend all day in her new space. Not only is it outstanding from a design perspective but she made sure everything was safe for her, while incorporating her interests and even her own artwork in the room. Ibtihal even thought of the smallest detail, incorporating a book about moving to a big girl bed! The space she did for me has also become my little sanctuary. I love collecting antiques and different pieces from my travels which up until now was always stored in a way in boxes but Ibtihal has magically and subtly incorporated them into the design in ways that I could never have imagined. I really could go on and on about how overjoyed I am with all the rooms. Ibtihal is the kindest, most patient, professional and dedicated designer I have met and I can’t wait to transform more of my house with her special touches soon inshallah. "

"A big thank you to Ibtihal for transforming our house to a comfortable, relaxing and serene place. I worked with dazzling designs on my wing which include bedroom, bathroom, dressing and living area as well as the main family room. I always find it a struggle to get my requirements across especially when it comes to design. Yet with minimal effort Ibti managed to get everything I wanted down to a tee. From the initial style discussions until the final reveal Ibti made the process so easy, even when there were challenges or road block she always had a solution or plan B. What I particularly liked is that she takes the time to listen and understand what we really wanted, also taking inspiration from existing pieces in the house making the rooms more homely and meaningful. The family room had a huge transformation from an extreme traditional look to a room that caters to the many generations we have in the household. One of the hardest parts of this room was the journey of the transformation taking on board everyones’ requests while ensuring it is a useful, comfortable and elegant space. Ibtihal’s calmness, patience and professionalism made the process very smooth and today is has become the heart of the home. I look forward to working with dazzling designs in the future without a doubt. "
