Bright Dubai Marina apartment transformation combining bespoke white kitchen cabinetry, a generous stone island, integrated appliances, natural-texture lighting and seamless open-plan living.
Open-plan kitchen transformation for Samantha J. in Dubai Marina, featuring bespoke white cabinetry, a generous stone breakfast island, integrated appliances, marble-effect finishes and woven feature lighting by Halo Interiors.

A bright contemporary open-plan kitchen transformation in Dubai Marina, designed to create a relaxed connection between cooking, dining, entertaining and the adjoining living space while taking advantage of the apartment's abundant natural light and elevated Dubai views.
Book a Free Site VisitThe kitchen features extensive bespoke white shaker-style cabinetry, combining full-height storage, integrated appliances and generous base and wall units within a clean, timeless composition. Subtle brushed-metal handles add definition to the cabinetry without interrupting the light, understated aesthetic.
At the centre of the space is a substantial quartz-style stone kitchen island and breakfast bar, providing a large preparation surface alongside informal seating. An integrated sink and contemporary brushed-metal mixer are incorporated directly into the island, allowing it to function as both a practical working zone and the social heart of the apartment.
Light stone worktops continue around the perimeter cabinetry and are complemented by a full-height marble-effect backsplash with subtle grey veining. Continuous under-cabinet LED lighting illuminates the work surface and backsplash, introducing warmth while providing practical task lighting.
The kitchen incorporates multiple built-in appliances, including integrated ovens and a flush-mounted cooking zone, all carefully coordinated within the custom cabinetry to preserve the streamlined appearance.
Three oversized woven pendant lights suspended above the island introduce warmth, texture and a more relaxed residential character to the predominantly white kitchen. Their natural finish is echoed by the woven counter seating and furniture within the adjoining dining area, creating visual continuity across the open-plan interior.
Beyond the kitchen, the layout flows directly into the dining and family living area, with floor-to-ceiling glazing bringing daylight deep into the property and opening the interior towards panoramic Dubai views. The open arrangement allows the kitchen to function as part of the wider living environment rather than as an isolated room.
Delivered by Halo Interiors, the project demonstrates our approach to luxury apartment renovation and interior fitout in Dubai Marina, combining bespoke joinery, custom kitchen cabinetry, stonework, appliance integration, lighting, plumbing, electrical and MEP coordination within one cohesive residential transformation.

The questions Dubai Marina owners ask us most before they start.
As indicative planning ranges: kitchen or bathroom packages typically run AED 40,000–90,000; full renovations of one and two-bed units commonly fall between AED 120,000 and AED 250,000; larger and premium-specification units run above that. The building’s rules and the unit’s existing condition affect cost, so we quote from a site visit with an itemised scope.
Yes — every tower requires a building management or OA NOC before works, typically covering drawings, contractor trade licence, insurance and a refundable deposit. Structural or MEP changes add Dubai Municipality permits. Halo prepares and manages the full submission for your building.
Often yes, but it depends on the building: whether the wall is structural, how ventilation and fire strategy are affected, and what the OA permits. We assess feasibility at the site visit and, where it is achievable, handle the engineering and approvals.
Noisy works are scheduled inside each building’s permitted hours, corridors and lifts are protected, materials are moved by booked service lift, and the site is sealed and cleaned daily. Tower renovation is as much about being a good neighbour as building well.
Most one and two-bed full renovations run 6–10 weeks on site once the NOC is issued, with NOC processing adding 1–3 weeks depending on the building. Investor refresh packages between tenancies can complete in 3–5 weeks.
