BROOSK SAIB ~ DESIGN IN PUTNEY

Interior designer Broosk Saib creates rooms of color and texture superior to most. Born in Baghdad, Saib was the son of a provincial governor.  The family moved to London when Saib was thirteen and never returned to Baghdad to live.

British colors and style are seen throughout Saib's home, laden with furnishings and art collected over time.  He refers his home as "a tribute to the school of John Fowler." ENJOY!
