Read our take on all the latest trends related to the furniture market in Dubai. What are the recent design trends in this niche for every furniture type, and what to look for in the industry? All is discussed here.
Dubai is a key city not only in the Emirates but also in global style and trends. It’s not just importing trends; it’s creating them. Almost everything in this luxury desert city has flourished since its boom back in the early 2000s, but one particular industry is also taking off to new heights: the furniture market in Dubai!
To be specific, by new heights here we mean a staggering 4.03 billion in value last recorded in 2024, which is expected to cross 5 billion dollars in the next five years. This multibillion-dollar industry is also evolving as lifestyles and aesthetics tend to be more comfortable, modern, and, most importantly, practical. Below are some of the most common trends observed in the furniture market in Dubai as of 2025.
Bespoke Over Mass Production
Luxury items are valued more if they are unique; that’s why the demand for customized pieces in Dubai is on the rise, where small and medium-sized luxury boutiques have made their market share. The hybrid shopping model after COVID has enabled such businesses to offer customers the ability to select and counsel on customization options through online platforms and later invite them for showroom visits after online pre-selection. This allows customers in Dubai to design a piece that is unmistakably their own.
This is quite a shift from previous trends in this current market, where large corporate brands were dominant in this furniture industry with their repeated designs. This shift also demands the current brands in Dubai to be more invested in each and every piece they sell.

Pieces with a story:
People in Dubai love designs of furniture items that inherit a story. A unique item is now much more desirable than the same furniture piece sold to thousands of customers. The Vis-à-Vis coffee table from La Maisonaire is one such example, which is made from a naturally shaped walnut tree slice standing on ultra-premium steel legs.

Sustainability is a priority.
Another major shift in the market is the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable items, as the customer base in Dubai is in the phase of embracing eco-consciousness in the masses, which is in full swing in this region. Brands are now forced to use FSC-certified woods, which has become quite a norm of marketing content for such companies. You will also see many brands showing off their shiny vegan leather and other sustainable materials, in which recycled fabrics are most common.

Luxury materials all over:
Dubai is known for its luxury and extravagance standards for everything, and this translates all the way to the designs of the furniture market in Dubai. Minimalistic designs made with super luxury materials and accents are a trend in this region, as they function to declutter spaces and also create an atmosphere of tranquility.
The city is literally a melting pot for almost all the nationalities of the world; thus, this year you can expect a rise in multicultural design languages. The most common are Japanese wabi-sabi minimalism, Moroccan arches, and French Riviera softness.
We can also see a trend of clean lines with a focus on geometric designs covered in earthy and neutral tones, all made with ultra-premium materials. Moreover, designs like arabesques and mashrabiya (lattice work), carved detailing with intricate woodwork, and baroque or rococo influences and materials like travertine, leather, moked glass, and brushed metal are also trending.
The use of premium grain leather is also trending for modern sofas and couches. One such example is the Morgan Sofa Collection from La Maisonaire; ultra-premium grain leather covering plush seating with a supple texture makes it an inviting and luxurious piece in a living space. Definitely worth checking out.

Tech Integrated:
Then there is a huge demand for smart furniture pieces, which offer much more than just being sleek wooden items. For example, smart coffee tables in Dubai are now made with built-in refrigerator drawers, power outlets, wireless charging pads, USB charging ports, etc. Power recliners with memory settings are also quite common in smart sofas, which also offer cup holders with ambient lighting and charging ports.
La Maisonare is Dubai’s leading luxury furniture brand, which provides customization options for every furniture piece. It has also aced the craftsmanship to infuse traditional design language and materials with modern design language while keeping the utmost luxury standards. The brand also heavily focuses on the hybrid model for the customer’s ease and is always at the forefront of bringing every piece in accordance with all the above 2025 design trends of the furniture market in Dubai.
