Our Services
Apartment Renovation Services in Dubai
We assess the existing rooms before recommending a full apartment renovation or targeted improvements. The work included depends on the property condition, building rules and approved quotation.
Full Apartment Renovation and Refurbishment
For an older or recently purchased property, a full apartment renovation can combine new interior finishes, fitted cabinetry, wall features, bedroom joinery and coordinated furnishing. Additional technical work is assessed separately where required.
Partial Renovation and Apartment Upgrades
Update a living room, bedroom or entrance without replacing everything. A small apartment renovation may focus on space-saving wardrobes, TV walls, storage and selected finishes while retaining suitable existing elements.
Apartment Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen upgrades may include custom cabinetry, storage and cabinet finishes. Changes to plumbing, electrical installations, countertops or other specialist elements are reviewed and specified separately where included in the project.
Apartment Bathroom Renovation
Bathroom improvements may include vanity units, mirrors, storage and coordinated finishes. Waterproofing, sanitary replacements and plumbing require a technical assessment and confirmation of the applicable scope and approvals.
Custom Joinery, Wardrobes and Interior Finishes
Our built-in furniture and joinery work includes fitted wardrobes, TV units, headboards, cabinets and wall cladding manufactured to suit actual room dimensions.
Coordinated Delivery
Turnkey Apartment Renovation and Fit-Out
For projects requiring multiple services, we can coordinate interior planning, material selection, bespoke furniture manufacturing, supply, installation and agreed fit-out work.
Turnkey does not mean every construction trade is automatically included. Specialist works, building approvals and responsibilities are reviewed before the project starts. The contract specifies the exact services, materials and works included.

Cost Planning
Apartment Renovation Cost in Dubai
Apartment renovation cost in Dubai depends on the existing condition, extent of refurbishment, materials, specialist works and bespoke joinery. Replacing fitted storage differs in price from renovating multiple rooms.
We prepare a project-specific estimate after reviewing the apartment and proposed work.
What Affects Apartment Renovation Costs?
- Size and existing conditionApartment area, number of rooms and items to remove or retain.
- Full or partial refurbishmentNumber of rooms and extent of the proposed fit-out.
- Kitchen and bathroom scopeCabinetry, fittings and any specialist services included.
- Materials and finishesWall finishes, hardware, flooring and decorative details.
- Custom furniture and joineryWardrobes, TV units, cabinets and installation complexity.
- Building access and approvalsPermits, working restrictions and other applicable requirements.
Full Apartment Renovation Cost: One- and Two-Bedroom Flats
The cost to renovate a two-bedroom apartment may be higher than that of a one-bedroom flat, but room count alone is not decisive. A complete flat renovation can involve multiple rooms, finish removal and replacement, whereas a limited upgrade may affect only one area. A smaller apartment with extensive kitchen, bathroom or finish replacements may require a greater budget than a larger apartment needing limited upgrades.
Apartment Renovation Cost per Square Foot
An area-based estimate can help with early planning, but the actual renovation cost depends on the agreed work, including kitchen and bathroom details, material specifications and fitted furniture. We recommend an itemised quotation rather than a standard rate for every property.
Is Interior Design Included?
Interior design and renovation work are priced separately unless both are included in the quotation. The indicative starting fee for basic interior design is AED 100/m². The final price may vary depending on the project requirements and will be specified in the contract. See our interior design pricing for package details.

Apartment Renovation in Dubai: FAQs
How much does apartment renovation cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on the apartment’s existing condition, rooms included, materials, custom joinery and any specialist work. We provide a scope-based quotation after reviewing the property and requested changes.
Do you offer full apartment renovation or only interior fit-out?
IC Furnishing provides interior renovation, custom joinery, furniture manufacturing and installation. We review any additional construction or technical requirements separately and confirm the complete agreed scope before work begins.
Can I renovate a studio or only part of my apartment?
Yes. Partial upgrades can address one room, wardrobes, walls or storage without replacing suitable existing finishes. Compact apartment layouts can benefit from fitted cabinetry.
How much does a two-bedroom apartment renovation cost?
The number of bedrooms is only one factor. Kitchen and bathroom requirements, joinery, existing conditions and the extent of the work determine the quotation.
Do Dubai apartment renovations require building approval?
Some works need an NOC, building-management permission or contractor documentation. The requirements vary by building, developer and proposed alteration.
How long does an apartment refurbishment take?
Duration depends on the scope, approvals, available materials, bespoke manufacturing and building access. A project schedule is discussed after assessment.
What should I provide for an apartment renovation quote?
Share the apartment location, approximate size, floor plan if available, existing photos and the changes you want to make.
