Bringing Character to High-Rise Living in Dubai's Business Bay

Business Bay is synonymous with modern high-rises offering stunning city views. However, many apartments come with standard kitchens that lack warmth and personality. While contemporary kitchens dominate these spaces, there is no rule that says a high-rise apartment kitchen must be modern, glossy, and impersonal. If you are a homeowner looking for a more inviting and character-filled space, a bespoke kitchen can transform your home into something unique and truly yours.

Adding Personality to a Business Bay Kitchen


Many kitchens in Business Bay apartments follow a similar design formula: flat-panel cabinetry, neutral colours, and high-gloss finishes. While this aesthetic suits some, it can feel sterile and uninspiring for those who love a space with depth and history. A Shaker-style kitchen, known for its framed doors and timeless appeal, works beautifully in an apartment setting too. The beauty of bespoke design is that it allows you to tailor every element to your taste, ensuring your kitchen feels like a natural extension of your personality.


Shaker Kitchens in Modern Apartments


A common misconception is that Shaker kitchens belong only in traditional homes or villas. However, the clean lines and structured simplicity of Shaker cabinetry make it incredibly adaptable. By choosing a muted or bold colour palette, pairing it with natural materials like wood and stone, and selecting high-quality hardware, you can achieve a kitchen that blends classic charm with modern city living.


A bespoke kitchen in Dubai means complete control over every detail. Want to incorporate open shelving to display curated ceramics? Prefer a unique countertop material that sets your space apart? Customisation ensures your kitchen is not only visually stunning but also practical and efficient for your lifestyle.


Whether you want a full renovation or a subtle refresh, incorporating a Shaker-style kitchen in your Business Bay apartment is a great way to move away from the usual (read: boring) Dubai kitchens.
