Dubai.

Space for your life.
A home that feels like you.

Light, proportion and everyday rituals guide the way we think about apartments. Each decision connects how your home looks with how you want to live in it.

Spaces for people. Details with purpose.

Meet the studio

Apartment living,
considered as a whole.

An apartment brings many parts of life into one connected space. A quiet corner, a place to gather, a working day at home and the objects you love all need to belong together.

We begin with your routines and the possibilities of the existing plan. The balance of openness and privacy, furniture proportions, storage and materials can make a home feel more generous without losing its intimacy.

One home.
A connected design.

From a focused interiors brief to a more extensive design appointment, the scope is tailored to the apartment, your priorities and the decisions you need help making.

Tell us about your brief

Layout & everyday flow

Consider furniture placement, room connections and the balance between shared space and privacy.

Materials & colour

Create a palette that connects rooms while leaving space for individual character.

Bespoke furniture & storage

Explore pieces and joinery that respond to the scale of the apartment and the way you use it.

Furniture, lighting & textiles

Bring together practical comfort, layered light and tactile details across the home.

Procurement & final styling

Define the sourcing, delivery, installation and finishing support needed for your agreed design package.

A home that works
beyond the first impression.

Room to move

Start with circulation and furniture proportions. An oversized piece can make an otherwise generous room difficult to use.

Storage with a purpose

Plan around the items you actually own, from daily essentials to collections. Useful storage should feel like part of the architecture.

The light through the day

Consider daylight, window treatments and evening lighting together, including glare at a desk or screen.

The building around you

An apartment sits within a larger building. Establish access, delivery arrangements and any restrictions on the proposed work early in the brief.

Your questions,
considered.

Useful starting points for your apartment brief.

Can you help with an existing apartment?

Yes. Begin by sharing what you would like to change and what you want to keep. The studio can then discuss an appropriate interiors scope, whether the priority is furniture, styling, layout or a more extensive redesign.

Do I need a full renovation to work with the studio?

A project can begin with a focused design conversation. C’est ici’s Services page describes consultation and fuller design options; the right appointment depends on the apartment and the level of support you need.

Can we retain furniture we already own?

Existing furniture, artwork and meaningful objects can inform the brief. Share photographs and dimensions so their place in the new scheme can be considered from the start.

How much does apartment interior design cost?

Fees and project costs depend on the area, condition, rooms involved, bespoke work and delivery scope. A floor plan, photographs and an indicative budget help the studio prepare a relevant proposal.

How are building restrictions handled?

Tell the studio about known building requirements and the proposed extent of work. The project team should establish responsibility for permissions, specialist advice and contractor coordination before implementation.

What should I prepare for the first conversation?

A floor plan, current photographs, location, preferred timeline and budget range are helpful. Include the rooms that need attention, pieces to retain and a few references that explain the atmosphere you want.
