About

Founded in 1997, Nathalie Yared Decorative Painting provides artistic mural painting services including decorative finishing and restoration of murals and frescoes. 

Using contemporaneous methods or traditional ones, whether for exteriors or interiors, our work adds depth, texture and personality to the work of interior decorators and architects.

The founder, Nathalie Yared has given classes at the Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (ALBA) since 2004. She has also led various workshops at the Notre Dame University, the American University of Science and Technology, and the International College in Lebanon.

In 2002, the atelier started hosting classes for decorative painting, adapting the course to the diverse levels of the attending students.

In 2000, Nathalie created a line of painted furniture for children, that evolved into Sumi Furnitures in 2010. Toying with nostalgia, Sumi Furnitures is a furniture line made of recycled wood, or repurposed furniture, decorated with kitsch vintage retail brands from Lebanon and the levant region. 

Team

Nathalie Yared and Mireille Farah have worked together since 1997. They have been joined across the years by Valerie Nseir, Elisabeth Moawad, Rita El Helou, and Rita Kerbage.
