Apartment interior design in Dubai, where every centimetre has to earn its place

Studios, one-beds and family apartments designed by an architecture and interior design studio in Business Bay. Smaller spaces are not simpler — they are less forgiving, which is exactly why they reward good design.

Why Merci

Why apartment owners in Dubai choose our studio

Clients choose us for more than beautiful interiors. Here’s what makes our approach different — from working directly with your designer to delivering detailed, Dubai-specific design solutions built to last.

We design for the scale you have

Apartment proportions, not scaled-down villa thinking.

Joinery is where the value is

Built-in storage returns more per dirham than any other spend in a small home.

You speak to the designer

Directly, from the first call.

We know Dubai towers

Building NOCs, service access, MEP limits and what management will approve.

Honest scoping

If the apartment needs three changes rather than thirty, that is what we will tell you.

Before & After

What we show you is what you get

We visualise every space before it is built. Drag the handle to compare the visualisation we presented with the finished room.

A note from the founder

People assume a small apartment is a small project

In practice it is the opposite — in a villa you can hide a mistake, in a studio you live inside it.

That is why I enjoy apartments. Every decision is visible. A wardrobe two centimetres too deep, a light in the wrong place, one material too many, and the whole space feels tight.

When you book a consultation, you speak to me. Send me the floor plan and I will tell you honestly where your space is being wasted, what the layout could be, and whether the budget you have in mind is realistic.

If your apartment only needs three changes, I will tell you that too.

PREMIUM MATERIALS

Materials Chosen to Last

We select materials for their beauty, quality and longevity — considering how they will look, feel and perform over time within Dubai’s climate.
 

Stone & surfaces

Marble, travertine and quartz specified for the room's real use — sealed, edged and detailed properly.

Timber & veneer

European oak, walnut and custom veneers, selected for humidity stability in this climate.

Metal & hardware

Brushed brass, blackened steel and bronze; European hardware that still closes softly in year five.

Premium Wood Options

Walnut, oak, teak, and custom veneers. Crafted by specialist carpenters for staircases, wardrobes, and bespoke furniture.

How much does apartment interior design cost in Dubai?
It depends on whether the project is a full redesign, joinery and layout work, or furnishing and styling. In your complimentary 30-minute consultation we look at the floor plan and give you an honest range before you commit to anything.
Yes. Studios are among the most demanding projects we take on, because zoning, storage and lighting all have to work without walls.
Both. A single room, the joinery package, or the whole apartment. We will tell you at consultation which gives you the most return for what you want to spend.
Most tenancy agreements restrict built-in and structural work, so a full design project is usually not possible. We are happy to advise at consultation on what can be achieved without altering the unit.
For joinery, flooring, plumbing or electrical work, most Dubai towers require building management approval and an NOC. We identify what is required early and coordinate the paperwork as part of the project.
Design typically takes four to six weeks from first meeting to a complete package for a standard apartment. Execution depends on scope and building access rules.
We call you within one business hour on working days to understand the apartment and book your consultation — at our Business Bay studio, at the property, or by video call.
