Cost to furnish a 2-bedroom apartment in Dubai

Build a two-bedroom budget around the way each room will be used. The second bedroom could be a full-time office, a nursery, a guest room or storage. Each choice changes the item count. An open living and dining area may shift more of the spend toward seating, a dining set and a larger rug.

Define the second bedroom first

Use	Main items to budget	Layout checks
Guest bedroom	Bed or sofa bed, bedside surface, lighting, storage	Bed access, wardrobe and door swings
Daily office	Desk, ergonomic chair, task light, storage	Chair movement, screen glare, sockets
Nursery	Cot, changing storage, chair, blackout treatment	Safe routes, ventilation, fixed hazards
Mixed office and guest room	Desk, chair, convertible bed, closed storage	Both use modes drawn at full size
Storage or hobby room	Purpose-specific work surface and storage	Door access, load and clear working area

Do not budget a guest bed and office setup together unless the layout shows both use modes working. The dated example below plans the second bedroom as a guest room with a desk.

The primary bedroom took the largest share: its AED 3,395 pocket-sprung mattress cost more than the AED 1,895 three-seat sofa. The brief allowed up to AED 65,000, and the plan used about half of it. The rest was left uncommitted rather than spent on pieces the rooms did not need. Prices can change before checkout, so use this example for proportions and price your own list.

Build a current two-bedroom budget

1. List the required rooms and use modes

Write one sentence for each room. For example: "seat five daily and keep the balcony route open" or "support two monitors and one overnight guest." This turns a vague apartment size into a product brief.

2. Measure every anchor position

Record the sofa wall or floating footprint, bed wall, dining zone, desk area and large storage positions. Include doors, wardrobes, chair pull-back and the route through the room.

3. Select anchors before accessories

Use direct product pages and record exact variant dimensions for the sofa, beds, dining table, desk, storage and outdoor set. Check delivery access as well as room fit.

4. Calculate the complete retailer spend

For each line, multiply the current product price by the correct quantity. Add required parts, delivery, assembly and installation where confirmed. Keep unknown costs visible.

5. Reconcile before ordering

If the total exceeds your budget, change one large flexible item and update the connected layout. Repeat until the plan fits both the rooms and the budget.

Add the separate design fee only after the retailer and setup total is clear. HomePrint's current fee for a two-bedroom Design Pack is AED 2,250, with furniture and setup paid separately. On the coastal plan above, that is about 7% of the AED 32,758.15 total, and it covers every room in the home. If you have quotes from several designers, separate the construction, goods and design lines before comparing prices.

How an AED 20,000 furniture budget could be divided

If you set aside AED 20,000 for furniture and decor, this can be a practical first draft:

Area	Planning amount	Share
Living and dining	AED 8,000	40%
Main bedroom	AED 4,500	22.5%
Bedroom 2	AED 3,000	15%
Lighting, rugs and window coverings	AED 2,500	12.5%
Reserve for product or quantity changes	AED 2,000	10%
Total furniture and decor budget	AED 20,000	100%

Track delivery, assembly and installation outside this table, unless you choose to include them inside the AED 20,000 limit. The separate AED 2,250 HomePrint fee pays for the two-bedroom plan.

For a tighter budget, reuse suitable furniture, give the second room one clear purpose and add lower-priority decor later. With more room in the budget, upgrade the sofa, mattress and other daily-use furniture first, then add storage, window coverings and a second use for the spare room where the layout allows it.

Before you finalise the budget

Check that the plan includes:

1. the measured floor plan and the intended use of each room
2. direct product pages for the main furniture
3. the exact size, colour, orientation and quantity for each selection
4. room fit and a clear delivery route
5. current stock and delivery coverage for your location
6. delivery, assembly and installation costs where required
7. room subtotals and a visible allowance for price or stock changes

Use the floor-plan furnishing guide and measurement checklist to build the input.

HomePrint supplies a design plan and linked shopping list. The customer approves the plan and buys directly from retailers. If you would rather one company ordered and delivered everything, compare design-only plans and furniture packages first. See current design fees or send the floor plan and location for a scope check.
