Dream Space: A Selection of Designer-Curated Spaces at Your Fingertips
Dream Space: A Selection of Designer-Curated Spaces at Your Fingertips Furnishing a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. But too often, it turns into a never-ending search - browsing countless stores, struggling to match pieces, and second-guessing every choice. What if there was a way to skip the stress and step straight into a beautifully designed space that's already put together for you? Shouldn't great design always be within reach? ValU is introducing its lowest interest rate ever for Dream Spaces. A built-in financial calculator helps break it all down, making it easier than ever to plan your payments, stick to your budget, and bring your dream space to life - without the financial guesswork. 'With this platform, we're offering homeowners and designers the ability to access curated, premium-quality interiors without the hassle of sourcing individual pieces,' Karim El Hayawan, Co-founder and Head of Strategy at The Mob Collective, tells SceneHome. 'Every design package is carefully curated by our team, ensuring not only aesthetic harmony but also functionality and comfort.' For Dream Space, ValU is offering its lowest interest rate ever - making designer-curated interiors more accessible than ever before. Now, transforming your space doesn't have to come with financial stress. Whether you're styling a cozy living room in the city or creating a serene, sun-soaked bedroom in Sahel, Dream Space brings a diverse range of thoughtfully designed interiors, all ready to explore and make your own. 'One of the primary obstacles to achieving the ideal design aesthetic is spending a substantial amount of cash up front. Valu enables you to distribute the cost of your purchase over up to 60 months, making premium quality furniture selections and purchases more accessible,' Motaz Lotfy, Senior Director of Business Development and Partnerships at Valu, says. 'This collaboration with Valu and The Mob Collective allows us to extend our services beyond the exhibition space and into the e-commerce market, offering customers a seamless online experience to access premium home solutions year-round,' Ahmed Tarek, Co-CEO and Partner of Tarek Nour Group, the organizers of Le Marché, adds. At its core, Dream Spaces is built on a simple belief: that well-designed interiors shouldn't be exclusive. Just like Le Marché gathers the best in furniture under one roof, Dream Spaces takes it a step further, offering a seamless way to furnish your home without the endless back-and-forth. No more decision fatigue, no more compromises - just beautifully crafted spaces, ready when you are. Photography Credit: Dream Space
