This is a spacious two bedroom apartment that has the perfect location in Downtown Dubai, overlooking
the Dubai Mall and the famous Fountain. The views from the balcony are truly spectacular, especially in the
evening. The challenge with this apartment was adding light to the space as it was quite dimly lit with no
spotlights. The transformation began with a fresh coat of paint on the wall to give the perception of a larger
space with an accent wall behind the sofa, breaking the monotony in the open space apartment and serving
as the backdrop for the stylish black and white prints.
The light, gauzy gray curtains paired with the intense, dark color of the wrap around sofa set perfectly
complements the delicate touch of the white arm chair and plush pink scatter cushions. Finally, we added a
pretty pendant light and a floor lamp to enhance the décor and improve the lighting at night.
The airy and luminous theme was carried through to the dining area. The large opening allows in streams
of natural light, making the area feel more spacious and relaxing. We kept it simple by just adding a retro
chandelier and large art piece for effortless elegance.
