We recently completed a design project for a 2-bedroom apartment (45 sq m) in Dubai, available exclusively for rent through Airbnb. It was a challenging but beautiful project, especially since the owners are actually our colleagues, very passionate about design and winter sports. They wanted an apartment with an interesting design meant to attract the tourists looking for short-term accommodation, a functional space with personality. A bedroom where you feel like you’re sleeping in the middle of a forest, a living room like a cabin, enough space for ski and snowboard equipment: These ideas were the key steps that led to a result where every corner of the apartment connects you to nature. Let’s take a look at the outcome!

The welcoming image of the home is noticeable from the moment you enter the apartment. We chose to decorate the hallway using white as the predominant color for an orderly appearance but also to visually enlarge the space. The wall, adorned with wooden ribbing, plays the role of a hanger, while the geometric-patterned tiles add a sophisticated and minimalist touch to the room.

The living room was decorated in neutral tones, with the ceiling as the main focus, for which we chose a shade of forest green. The sofa’s placement is highlighted by the white brick wall and artificial lighting. Next to the sofa is the radiator, which we painted black to add depth to the space. The painting positioned above the sofa, the green plant and the decorative pillows perfectly complement the setting.

The central area of the living room is complemented by a faux fur rug and a coffee table. We avoided cluttering the space to ensure easy circulation throughout the room. The partial wall separating the living room from the balcony was designed to allow as much natural light as possible. The TV is positioned in front of the sofa, along with a wooden texture shelf and a white fireplace, thus enhancing a warm and welcoming environment. The wall in the TV area is fitted with decorative cladding.

The dining area is placed next to the wall at the entrance to the living room, marked by specific furniture – table and chairs – but also by the decorative wallpaper with a geometric pattern that enhances the entire space. Vertically, we installed a laminated wood panel, with a decorative role, for a pleasant ambiance.

The master bedroom has probably one of the most unique designs that we have ever worked on. It was predominantly decorated in a shade of green. It has a metal-framed bed in the center, complemented by 2 wooden bedside tables. For the wall behind the bed, we chose a decorative wallpaper with fir trees, which enhances the idea of nature and forest. We decorated the rest of the walls and the ceiling with green pillows to create the illusion of forest and nature.


A seating area was provided in front of the bed, having a gray armchair placed right next to the window. The radiator is painted the same shade of green as the rest of the room.

The kitchen is also decorated in a shade of green, having a furniture with a wooden texture. We opted for a dark shade for both the worktop and the appliances, as well as for both the faucet and the sink. The installations and work area are arranged along a single wall, which is tiled in a brown shade to emphasize the natural theme. We placed a bench with a dual purpose in front of the window– both for storage and socializing. For the flooring, we selected the same tiles used in the hallway and bathroom.
The bathroom is an oasis of minimalism and brightness, with white finishes with black geometric lines, a walk-in shower with a glass wall and a black metal frame, white sanitary ware and matte black faucets. The washbasin is highlighted by the wooden stand and the rattan-framed mirror, the decor being complemented by the wooden parquet wall in the radiator area.
