If there is one layout change that comes up in almost every Dubai apartment renovation brief, it is this: “Can we open up the kitchen to the living room?” The request makes complete sense. The closed kitchen that was standard in Dubai apartment design through the 1990s and 2000s, a separate room with a door, disconnected from the living and…

Most villa renovation projects in Dubai do not go wrong because of bad contractors or poor design. They go wrong because of sequencing.

They want the bedroom to feel like a retreat. They want the wardrobe to actually function for two people with different organizational needs. They want the bathroom…

Here is a situation that happens more often than it should. A contractor with ten years of fit-out experience in Dubai takes on a bathroom renovation in Sharjah.
