Lina Alaidaroos - Interior Designer
After all, humans are deeply influenced by emotions tied to the past, by the spaces they inhabit, the people they connect with, and their cultural and religious backgrounds.
Lina Alaidaroos is an interior designer passionate about culture, heritage, and human-centric design. With over eight years of experience, she specializes in creating spaces that tell stories and offer layered experiences. Her work in boutique hotels reflects a deep connection to Saudi Arabian culture. Seeking to explore a new dimension of her identity as a designer, Lina moved to London to pursue her Master’s degree in Interior Design at the Royal College of Art. She believes that true design goes beyond aesthetics, it embodies stories and souls. During her studies, she embraced the mindset of a design thinker, developing a project inspired by sacred architecture from the Middle East, exploring its forms to enhance the user journey.
