At Fitout | Renovation Dubai, we deliver complete living room renovation and family room fit-out services that transform tired, dated, or builder-standard spaces into beautifully finished rooms built around how you actually live. With in-house teams spanning 25 trades and a heritage that stretches back to 1984, we manage your entire project under one roof – from the first 3D concept to the final coat of paint and authority sign-off.
Whether you own a compact apartment in Dubai Marina, a duplex penthouse on Palm Jumeirah, a family townhouse in Arabian Ranches, a signature villa in Emirates Hills, or a sprawling mansion in District One, our living room renovation specialists handle every detail. One contract, one accountable team, one point of contact – and a finish that matches the showroom render you fell in love with.
Quick Answer A full living room renovation in Dubai typically costs between AED 25,000 and AED 250,000+, depending on room size, finish level, and scope. A cosmetic refresh (painting, lighting and flooring) starts around AED 25,000–45,000; a mid-range family room fit-out with custom joinery and a feature ceiling runs AED 55,000–120,000; and a premium villa or penthouse living room with bespoke wall paneling, stone and smart electrical can exceed AED 150,000. Fitout | Renovation Dubai delivers all 20 trades in-house, with free 3D design and full Dubai authority approvals.
Most Dubai homeowners don’t struggle to imagine a beautiful living room – they struggle to find one contractor who can build it end-to-end without sub-contracting chaos, surprise variations, and missed deadlines. That is exactly the gap we close.
No two homes in Dubai are built the same way, and a great living room renovation respects those differences. Our design and execution approach flexes to your property type, your community’s regulations, and your lifestyle.
Apartments in Dubai Marina, JLT, Business Bay, Downtown and JVC reward clever space planning. We open up sightlines, integrate concealed storage joinery, lift low builder-standard ceilings with slim cove detailing, and use lighting layers to make even a 20–35 sqm lounge feel expansive. Where freehold towers require it, we coordinate move-in permits and contractor passes with the building management on your behalf.
Penthouses on Palm Jumeirah, in Downtown and along the Marina deserve a statement living space. Double-height volumes, feature stone walls, bespoke media units, motorised curtains and integrated mood lighting are all everyday work for our teams. We treat acoustics, glare and HVAC zoning as carefully as the finishes.
Townhouses in Arabian Ranches, JVC, Town Square, Mudon and Dubai Hills usually centre family life around an open-plan ground-floor lounge. We specialise in connecting the family room to the kitchen and garden with consistent flooring, smart partitions and durable, child-friendly finishes that still look premium.
Villas in Emirates Hills, The Springs, Jumeirah, Al Barari and Jumeirah Golf Estates often need both a relaxed family room and a formal majlis or reception. We handle the structural and MEP coordination that larger villas demand – reworking ceilings, relocating AC, upgrading distribution boards – while delivering the joinery and stone craftsmanship a signature villa calls for.
For mansions in District One, Emirates Hills and the Palm’s signature plots, we operate as a turnkey interior contractor: large-scale 3D design, imported marble, bespoke veneer paneling, architectural metalwork, and concealed smart-home infrastructure – delivered with the project management discipline a high-value home requires.
A living room is only as good as the trades behind it. Below is the full 20-service scope we bring to every living room renovation in Dubai – each delivered by our own specialists, sequenced so the project runs cleanly from strip-out to handover.
Every successful living room renovation begins with a clean, controlled strip-out – done safely, not crudely. Our crews protect what stays, remove what goes, and hand over a sound, dust-free shell ready for the new build-up. In occupied apartments and gated villa communities, how we manage debris matters as much as the demolition itself.
What this includes:
We schedule noisy works within community-permitted hours and coordinate building access, so your neighbours and security team stay happy throughout.
When your new layout needs more than a cosmetic change, our civil teams handle the structural and masonry work that reshapes the room. We assess before we cut – protecting load-bearing elements and securing the right approvals – so every change is safe, legal and built to last.
What this includes:
Every structural alteration is checked against your building’s regulations first – keeping your renovation compliant and protecting your home’s value.
Joinery is the heart of a high-end living room – and it’s our oldest craft, dating back to 1984. In our own Dubai workshop we design, manufacture and install bespoke cabinetry built to your exact millimetre, never bought off a shelf. This is where storage, style and craftsmanship come together.
What this includes:
Because we manufacture in-house, we control quality and timelines directly – and can match new joinery seamlessly to pieces you already own.
The ceiling is your living room’s fifth wall and the single biggest driver of atmosphere. The right design hides services, shapes the lighting and adds architectural depth. We engineer ceilings that look effortless and stay crack-free in Dubai’s climate.
What this includes:
We use trusted board and framing systems from Knauf and Gyproc (Saint-Gobain), jointed and finished so the surface stays smooth and seamless for years.
Flooring sets the tone underfoot and ties the whole room together – so the preparation matters as much as the material. We level, install and detail every floor properly, choosing finishes that suit Dubai’s climate, your lifestyle and your design.
What this includes:
Sourced from suppliers such as Porcelanosa and RAK Ceramics, and laid over a properly levelled subfloor with matched skirtings and clean thresholds.
Layered lighting is what makes a renovated living room feel designed rather than just decorated. Our licensed electricians re-plan the entire electrical layer – from the distribution board to the last dimmer – to current DEWA standards, with full testing and certification.
What this includes:
All works are completed to DEWA standards with proper earthing, testing and certification – safe, compliant and inspection-ready.
Crisp paintwork is the finish everyone notices – and poor preparation is the flaw everyone sees. We obsess over surface prep, then apply premium, low-odour systems for a flawless, durable result that holds up to Dubai’s light and humidity.
What this includes:
We protect your floors and furniture, work cleanly, and hand back a room ready to live in – not a brush mark out of place.
Doors quietly define how a space feels and flows. From a single statement entrance to flush doors that disappear into paneling, we supply, hang and finish doors that operate as beautifully as they look.
What this includes:
Precise alignment, a smooth swing and clean architraves – the details that make a door feel expensive.
Not everything needs replacing. Our spray-finishing team gives quality furniture and existing joinery a factory-grade new life – a smart, sustainable way to tie older pieces into your new living room palette at a fraction of replacement cost.
What this includes:
Carried out in controlled conditions for a flawless, dust-free finish you simply can’t achieve on-site with a brush.
Glass brings light, openness and a sense of space to a living room. We fabricate and install bespoke glass elements to UAE safety standards, with slim or frameless detailing that feels light and contemporary.
What this includes:
Edges are polished and fixings concealed for a clean, premium finish – and every panel meets UAE safety requirements.
Partitions let you reshape and zone a space without major structural work – perfect for separating a TV lounge from a formal majlis or carving out a home-office nook in an open-plan room. We build them to disappear into the surrounding finishes.
What this includes:
Each partition is taped, jointed and finished to match the existing walls and ceiling – so it looks original, not added on.
The right mirror makes a living room feel larger, brighter and more luxurious. We design and install bespoke mirror features with precise cutting and secure, invisible fixing for a flawless result.
What this includes:
Specified in the right thickness with safety backing, and fixed securely for a clean, lasting finish.
Architectural metalwork adds the crisp, contemporary edge that defines modern Dubai interiors. Our in-house metal shop fabricates custom elements that lift joinery, paneling and stone from nice to genuinely bespoke.
What this includes:
Fabricated to your design and finished to resist tarnishing – the detailing that signals a high-end interior.
A renovated room deserves seating that fits it. Our upholstery workshop rebuilds, recovers and creates custom soft furnishings – matching new pieces to your scheme or restoring furniture you already love.
What this includes:
Foam densities and finishes are chosen for comfort and longevity, with neat, durable stitching throughout.
Wall paneling is one of the fastest ways to make a living room look truly bespoke – adding texture, warmth and a designer focal point. We design and install paneling systems that often integrate lighting, TV and storage.
What this includes:
Frequently combined with concealed cove lighting and an integrated media unit to create a single, cohesive focal wall.
Vinyl wrapping is a clean, fast and cost-effective way to transform surfaces without ripping them out – ideal for occupied homes and quick refreshes. Using architectural-grade films, we re-skin almost any flat surface in a huge range of looks.
What this includes:
Applied with heat-formed precision around edges and curves for a finish that reads as the real material.
Natural stone brings unmistakable luxury to a feature wall, fireplace surround or media backdrop. We supply, fabricate and install stone with the craftsmanship that elevates a living room into a statement space.
What this includes:
Sealed and finished correctly so the stone stays beautiful and protected through everyday family use.
Comfort is non-negotiable in a Dubai living room. Our MEP team makes sure your new design stays cool, quiet and well-ventilated – coordinating AC with the ceiling and layout rather than treating it as an afterthought.
What this includes:
Delivered with reliable equipment from Daikin and S-Klima, balanced for comfort and low running cost.
Before any work begins, our designers turn your ideas into a clear, photorealistic 3D visualisation of your finished living room – so you decide with confidence and there are no surprises on site. This consultation is complimentary and becomes the blueprint for the entire fit-out.
What this includes:
Because every decision is made on screen first, the build runs faster, cleaner and on budget – with the finished room matching the render.
