Relocating to Dubai? This buzzing city is a magnet for expats thanks to its vibrant economy, warm weather and cosmopolitan culture. All in all, it’s an exciting opportunity to create a home that reflects your personal style – but if you’re renting, how can you make your mark on your living space without making permanent changes? Read on to explore our guide to budget-friendly home décor in Dubai.
Elevate Your Space with Modern Carpets
Contemporary carpets are a cost-effective way to add character to your home, and they’re ideal for expats: when it’s time to move on, you can simply roll them up and take them with you. Neutral beige carpets will blend well with any colour scheme, while geometric carpets give you the opportunity to stamp your style personality on a rented space. And if you’re looking for carpets for a living room, round carpets are perfect for defining different zones in an open-plan space while adding a touch of elegance or a bold splash of colour.
Incorporate Multifunctional Furniture
You can maximise your space and your budget by choosing furniture that serves multiple purposes. Some of our favourite affordable home décor ideas include sofa beds, storage ottomans and porcelain stools that work as occasional tables as well as ad-hoc seating. Flexible and versatile, multifunctional furniture saves precious space in your home as well as doing double duty.
Embrace DIY and Upcycling Projects
Upcycling is a growing trend in interiors, and it’s the perfect way to personalise your home on a budget. Simple projects such as painting old furniture or repurposing textiles to make cushion covers can add a unique touch to your living space without straining your finances. Explore Dubai's local markets and online communities for inspiration and craft materials – and let your creativity flow!
Introduce Removable Décor Elements
Savvy renters know that it’s possible to enhance your space without making permanent changes or causing any damage. Removable wall decals will add personality to your rental, and you can simply peel them off when you move out. Other stylish solutions include temporary hooks, textile art and freestanding mirrors that maximise the natural light in your room without the need for wall fixtures.
