Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Interior Design?
+
Interior design is the planning and design of interior spaces to enhance functionality, aesthetics, and user experience. It covers spatial planning, materials and finishes, lighting, colour theory, and furniture/FF&E selection. Stonehaven delivers residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality interior design in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and across the GCC—balancing concept creativity with practical fit-out, building services coordination (MEP), and construction detailing for on-time delivery.
Why Choose Stonehaven For Interior Design?
+
We specialise in bespoke interiors that reflect your lifestyle and brand—combining spatial planning, brand storytelling, and technical delivery. Our value lies in design-to-delivery continuity: concept, 3D visualisations, materials and FF&E, joinery details, and fit-out coordination. For commercial offices and retail fit-outs in Dubai and KSA, we optimise layouts for productivity, customer journey, and operational efficiency—reducing rework, accelerating approvals, and improving total cost of ownership.
How Do You Integrate Sustainability Into Interior Design?
+
Sustainability is embedded from day one. We specify eco-friendly materials (low-VOC paints, FSC-certified timber), high-efficiency lighting and controls, recycled/locally sourced finishes, and durable FF&E to extend lifecycle. Where relevant, we align with LEED, Estidama, and WELL guidelines, and consider EPD/HPD documentation for transparency. Result: lower embodied and operational carbon, healthier indoor environments, and long-term cost savings without compromising luxury.
How Do You Ensure Quality And Craftsmanship In Interior Design?
+
Quality is controlled through detailed drawings, mock-ups, and specification schedules, plus supplier vetting and joinery/shop-drawing reviews. We coordinate with fit-out contractors and specialist trades, conduct site inspections and snagging, and maintain a materials submittal/approvals log. This process safeguards finish standards, programme, and budget—delivering durable, high-craft interiors for residences, offices, retail, and hospitality spaces across the UAE and KSA.
What Software Tools Does Stonehaven Use For Interior Design?
+
We use Autodesk Revit for 3D modelling/BIM coordination, AutoCAD for detailed drafting, and visualisation tools for photorealistic renders and walkthroughs. This digital workflow improves clash detection with MEP, accelerates client sign-off, and streamlines authority/landlord approvals—supporting faster, clearer decisions for Dubai and GCC fit-outs and luxury residential interiors.
