What’s Included in Furniture Packages in Dubai?

If you’re looking for a furniture package for your Dubai holiday home, you might get a quote of AED 6,500 for a studio from one provider and AED 27,000 from another. 

That’s a huggeee gap, so it’s worth knowing exactly what you’re paying for before choosing a package.

At Homevy, our KHDA-certified team of designers has helped property owners across Dubai furnish and prepare their homes for short-term rentals.

Through this hands-on experience, we’ve seen where furniture packages deliver value, where quotes can fall short, and what it takes to meet Dubai’s holiday-home standards.

Let’s get into the deets!!

TL;DR: Furniture Packages in Dubai in 2026

• Dubai furniture packages can vary significantly in price, so compare what’s included rather than choosing based on the headline quote alone.
• A standard package typically covers core furniture, while curtains, appliances, kitchenware, towels, spare linen and safety equipment may cost extra.
• DET has specific furnishing and safety requirements for holiday homes, including furniture, appliances, linen and guest-safety equipment.
• Homevy’s furnishing packages include design, sourcing, delivery, setup, décor, soft furnishings and small appliances, with white goods available separately.
• Homevy has furnished and managed Dubai holiday homes since 2024, taking properties from design and sourcing through installation and guest-ready setup.

How Homevy Furnishes Dubai Holiday Homes

Since launching in Dubai in 2024, our in-house design team, led by KHDA-certified designer Shinnel Johnson, has taken units from empty to guest-ready through a seven-step process, with photography and staging handled in-house.

Here are some homes we’ve furnished and their package costs:

Each package covers design, sourcing, delivery and full setup, plus interior enhancements such as accent walls, premium lighting and curated wall art.

Furniture includes balcony sets, while soft furnishings cover everything from mattresses and duvets to curtains and kitchen essentials.

Small appliances such as a Smart TV, Nespresso machine, blender, microwave and kettle are also included. 

White goods are not included, but we can source them for approximately AED 6,500 extra.

P.S.: You don’t need to sign up for Homevy’s property management service to buy a furnishing package. And once the work is complete, the furniture belongs to you.

How the Homevy Furnishing Process Works

Our furnishing process runs through seven stages:

1. Initial contact
2. Property viewing, alignment and contracting
3. Owner onboarding and property handover
4. Operational clearance and design planning
5. Interior design and furnishing
6. Final operational setup and guest readiness
7. Go-live and monitoring

What a Homevy-Furnished 1BR Looks Like

Take Anthony’s apartment for instance. He had tried long-term tenants, self-management and another management company before coming to Homevy.

His 1BR wasn’t in a central area and had dark finishes. So, the brief was to make the apartment bright, appealing and memorable enough that guests wouldn’t feel like they were missing out on Dubai Marina.

Here’s what our interior and design team led by Shinnel did:

• Built a fully equipped kitchen, including an espresso machine, quality blender and cheese grater.
• Photogenic details, including quotes on the walls and living room mirror.
• Entertainment for nights in, with a Smart TV and shelf of board games.
• A properly lit vanity mirror in the bedroom for guests getting ready.
• Thoughtful touches for Muslim guests, including prayer mats, a Quran and marked Qibla direction.
• A sofa bed, giving couples travelling with a friend or families with children more flexibility.

The day after furnishing, our inspection team checked the Wi-Fi in every room, shower pressure, appliances and AC. 

They also checked under beds and inside drawers, then spent a night in the apartment as a guest would.

Furnishing was the first stage of a three-stage system, followed by marketing and pricing optimisation. Together, these changes increased Anthony’s annual rental revenue by 15%.

Once the property is ready, Homevy’s professional photography team captures the finished space for its listing.

What Is Included in a Dubai Furniture Package?

A standard Dubai furniture package usually covers the basics for your living room, dining area and bedrooms.

Here’s what you’ll typically see:

Two things can easily catch Dubai holiday-home owners off guard.

First, wardrobes. Many packages assume your apartment already has built-in wardrobes. 

Most Dubai apartments do, but check before signing because DET expects each bedroom to have a wardrobe with shelves, a mirror and at least six hangers.

Second, linen. When a supplier says “linen included”, that may mean one set. 

That isn’t particularly useful for a holiday home, where you need spare sets for turnovers. It also doesn’t meet the DET requirement for two sheet sets per bed.

What Usually Costs Extra in Furnishing Packages?

Appliances, curtains, kitchenware, towels, spare linen and DET safety items are among the extras that can push your final furnishing cost higher.

Appliances alone can add roughly AED 4,500 for a studio to AED 12,000 for a 3BR, depending on the package and supplier. 

Several of these extras also matter for holiday-home compliance because DET’s classification criteria specify certain items.

So when comparing furniture packages, don’t just ask “How much is the package?”

Ask: “What will I still need to buy before my first guest can stay?”

What Does DTCM (DET) Actually Require for a Holiday Home?

Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM) requires holiday homes to be furnished with th following:

Homevy recommendation: Passing DET gets you through the door. But a thoughtful guest experience helps give people a reason to book.

Homevy handles DTCM registration and compliance for homeowners. If you’re starting from scratch, our guide to getting a DTCM holiday home permit covers the paperwork.
