    Interior design in Dubai

    A well-defined interior brief separates the look you want from the work your property can accommodate. SETTRA coordinates discussions with designers around room use, style references, existing furniture, budget priorities and your preferred level of involvement. We distinguish concept design, detailed documentation, procurement and site work so that proposals can be compared on the same basis.

    Before any purchase or site instruction, we help assemble your decisions: layout, samples, dimensions, lead times and the party responsible for installation. Changes affecting walls, building services or shared systems require a separate technical and approval pathway. We track questions and decisions, but the designer, licensed contractor and relevant authorities must establish what can safely and lawfully be executed.

    Who it's for

    For Dubai residents, visiting families and property owners who want a carefully briefed specialist without managing every enquiry themselves.

    • A one-off request with a clear date and budget
    • Regular support around your home, family or travel
    • Options explained before you approve a provider

    Share your priorities, location, preferred language and timing. We check suitability and availability for your specific request; no booking is assumed.

    What's included

    • Record room measurements, photographs, functional needs, retained items and style references.
    • Separate concept deliverables from detailed drawings, procurement and construction supervision.
    • Request material samples, furniture dimensions, delivery access checks and substitution rules.
    • Identify structural or MEP implications and required building-management or authority approvals.
    • Log client approvals, revision allowances, procurement commitments and installation responsibilities.

    What's not included

    SETTRA coordinates design providers; we are not the designer of record or a construction contractor. A concept is not approval for structural or MEP work. Appropriately licensed contractors and qualified specialists must address technical work and required permissions. Purchases, design changes and work instructions require client approval; completion dates depend on approvals and supply.

    How it works

    1. 1

      Your brief

      Tell SETTRA what you need, who it is for and any non-negotiable requirements.

    2. 2

      Suitable options

      We check relevant provider credentials, scope, availability and written terms, then explain the options and separate costs.

    3. 3

      You approve

      You approve the provider and quote before a commitment. We coordinate the agreed arrangements; professional delivery remains with the provider.

    Typical requests

    • Please coordinate a living-room concept that retains our sofa and avoids changes to walls or electrical points.
    • We need a designer’s proposal for a kitchen refresh, with technical feasibility and approval requirements listed separately.

    Official reference sources

    References reviewed 25 October 2026. Requirements and availability can change; confirm the current rules with the relevant authority and provider before committing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can work start from a mood board?

    No. A mood board conveys a concept, not construction instructions. Required drawings, technical checks, permissions and client approvals must come first.

    Who approves furniture orders?

    You approve the specifications, price, delivery terms and any substitutions before the responsible supplier receives an order.

    Does design include renovation management?

    Not automatically. We identify the design scope separately; renovation coordination should be agreed under the relevant renovation service, not assumed within a concept package.
