Ihsan Habib — Founder of Decor By Ihsan

Our Legacy & Story

Crafting Timeless
Memories

“Where every micro-detail structurally articulates your heritage story.”

In Arabic and Urdu, “ihsan” (احسان), means the act of doing something with excellence — not because you must, but because anything less would be a dishonour to the craft. It is the concept of beauty pursued not for applause, but as a way of being.

Decor By Ihsan was founded in 2011 by Ihsan Habib, with a singular conviction: that a great event is not measured by what it looks like. It is measured by what it feels like when it is over, and how long that feeling stays.

Fifteen years later, DBI has designed over 2,500 celebrations across Qatar, UAE, Pakistan and now the Sultanate of Oman — each one as singular as the family who commissioned it. We have worked in heritage forts and five-star hotel ballrooms, in private desert camps and on the shores of the Arabian Sea. What has not changed across any of it is this: we do not repeat designs. We do not use templates. We begin every engagement with a blank canvas and one question: what should this feel like?

It is the most accurate description of how we work.

The Craft Manifesto

Pillars of
Excellence.

Cultural Reverence

We do not apply aesthetics to cultures. We learn them, live alongside them, and honour them with the specificity they deserve — whether that is an Omani Zaffa procession or a Mughal-influenced Baraat in Lahore.

✦ ATELIER

Uncompromising Design Integrity

From the finest silk table runners to hand-selected floral arrangements, we accept nothing less than perfection.

✦ ATELIER

Absolute Discretion

Our HNWI and royal-adjacent clients trust us with some of the most intimate moments of their lives. That trust is the most valuable thing we hold. We protect it absolutely.

✦ ATELIER

No Two Events Alike

In 15 years and 2,500 events, we have never repeated a design. Every table plan, every floral brief, every lighting direction begins from scratch. This is not a policy. It is a point of professional honour.
