The Majlis is the heart of every UAE home — the space that defines how a family presents itself. We design and renovate Majlis rooms, prayer spaces, living and reception areas that honour tradition while meeting the expectations of modern UAE life.
Complete Majlis strip-out and transformation — from gypsum ceiling design and Arabic panelling to custom built-in seating, marble flooring, and integrated lighting. We manage design, procurement, and installation end-to-end, with options for traditional, contemporary, and fusion styles.
The false ceiling is the defining feature of every UAE Majlis and living room. We design and install layered, coffered, cove-lit, and geometric gypsum board ceilings — from simple single-drop designs to elaborate multi-level ceiling compositions with recessed lighting, LED cove strips, and AC vent integration.
Wall panelling is a signature element of UAE interior design. We fabricate and install Arabic geometric patterns in MDF lacquer, walnut veneer, stone cladding, and handpainted finishes. Feature walls for both Majlis reception spaces and modern living rooms — from traditional mashrabiya-inspired lattice to clean-lined contemporary panels.
Traditional Majlis seating runs along the walls of the room — low, continuous upholstered platforms with matching back cushions and bolsters. We design and build bespoke seating in hardwood frames with your choice of fabric, leather, or velvet, coordinated with the room's colour palette and decorative elements.
A dedicated prayer room is a deeply meaningful space in a UAE home. We design quiet, serene Musalla rooms with qibla direction orientation, recessed niche (mihrab) detailing, decorative calligraphy, built-in Quran storage, and soft lighting — all designed with the reverence the space deserves.
Full living room renovations — partition removal for open-plan layouts, wall cladding, bespoke TV unit and entertainment wall design, built-in shelving, plaster cornicing, and complete ceiling work. We remodel UAE living spaces to feel larger, lighter, and more functional without compromising on elegance.
Majlis and living room floors in UAE villas demand premium, durable finishes. We install and polish natural marble, large-format porcelain slabs, and engineered stone — including diagonal and geometric laying patterns traditional to Gulf interior design. Existing marble polishing and restoration also available.
Layered lighting is essential to the Majlis atmosphere. We install recessed downlights, LED cove strips, chandelier power points, wall sconce wiring, and dimmable circuits — all controlled via smart panels, KNX systems, or phone apps. Lighting design consultancy included for full fit-out projects.
Dedicated home office zones carved from living space — bespoke joinery desk units, acoustic panelling, built-in shelving, cable management, and subtle integration that keeps the room's aesthetic coherent. Popular in Dubai apartments and smaller villas where space efficiency is paramount.
Crown moulding, decorative cornicing, column cladding, arch detailing, and ornamental plasterwork — all fabricated and installed by our specialist craftsmen. Traditional Arabic plaster relief (juss) and contemporary smooth mouldings both available. Repair and matching of existing cornicing also handled.
We design across the full spectrum of UAE Majlis aesthetics — from deeply traditional to strikingly contemporary. All styles share the same quality of craftsmanship.
Rooted in Gulf heritage — rich, warm, and deeply detailed. This is the classic Majlis expression, honouring cultural identity through ornament, pattern, and craft.
Clean geometry, monochrome palette, and refined materials — but the spatial layout and seating arrangement unmistakably Majlis. Modern without losing cultural identity.
The most requested style for UAE nationals today — blending traditional seating layout and ceiling heritage with European materials, finishes, and design sensibility.

Our design and project team communicates natively in Arabic and English. Cultural nuances of the Majlis are fully understood — no translation needed for what matters most.
Our in-house gypsum team specialises exclusively in false ceiling work — not generalists. The precision of a 3-tier Majlis ceiling requires dedicated specialists, and that's what we have.
Traditional, contemporary, and fusion — 150+ completed Majlis renovations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates gives us pattern recognition most firms don't have.
Every panel, every metre of seating, every light point itemised and priced. No surprises at the end of a Majlis renovation — a space our clients value deeply.
Unlike contractors who quote from plans, we bring design thinking to every Majlis project. Our free consultation includes ceiling design sketches and material moodboards.
A Majlis renovation is a significant investment. Our 5-year warranty covers all workmanship — gypsum, joinery, tiling, upholstery framing, and electrical installations.
"They designed and built our Majlis from scratch — the gypsum ceiling has three levels with gold detailing, and the seating is custom upholstered in the exact fabric we chose. Every guest who visits asks who did the work. I'm proud to say City Renovations."
"What I appreciated most was that the consultant spoke to us in Arabic and genuinely understood what we wanted — not just technically, but culturally. The prayer room they designed is serene, correctly oriented, and exactly what our family needed. Exceptional work."
"We wanted a contemporary Majlis — modern look but still feel like a proper Arabic reception room. City Renovations nailed the balance completely. The geometric panels, the flush gypsum ceiling with LED cove, the marble floor — it's a room we use every day with pride."
