Kitchen Remodeling
Planning a kitchen remodeling project in Dubai, Sharjah, or Across UAE? UAR Decor transforms kitchens into functional, beautiful spaces that work for your lifestyle. We handle everything from design to installation, creating kitchens that handle daily cooking and entertaining.
Why We Are Your Kitchen Remodeling Experts
We’re not just another kitchen remodeling company in Dubai making promises. Our team has been renovating kitchens in the UAE for over 8 years, and we understand what works in our climate. We’ve seen too many kitchen renovations that look great but fail after months because contractors used inappropriate materials or ignored local conditions.
The biggest problem with kitchen remodeling in Dubai? Most contractors focus on looks without thinking about functionality. We’ve fixed kitchens where cabinets warped in the humidity, countertops cracked in the heat, and appliances couldn’t handle the electrical load. Our approach is different – we design kitchens that work perfectly for UAE families.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We Fix
Poor Space Planning
Many kitchen renovations waste space or create awkward workflows. We design efficient layouts that make cooking easier.
Climate-Inappropriate Materials
Dubai’s heat and humidity destroy poor-quality materials. We use moisture-resistant woods and heat-resistant finishes.
Inadequate Storage
Most kitchens don’t have enough storage for UAE families who cook frequently. We maximize every inch of space.
Electrical Issues
Many older kitchens can’t handle modern appliances. We upgrade electrical systems to meet current needs safely.
Seasonal Kitchen Remodeling Considerations
Summer Heat Challenges
Dubai’s summer heat affects adhesives, finishes, and installation timing. We schedule work appropriately and use heat-resistant materials3.
Ramadan Preparation
Many families want kitchen upgrades before Ramadan. We plan projects to complete before the holy month begins.
Wedding Season Planning
Kitchen renovations are popular before wedding celebrations. We coordinate with other home improvements for these important events.
School Holiday Scheduling
Families prefer renovations during school holidays to minimize disruption. We adjust schedules accordingly.
Real Case Studies from Our Projects
Villa Kitchen in Arabian Ranches
Challenge: A family of six needed a kitchen that could handle daily cooking plus entertaining for large groups. The existing kitchen was cramped and outdated with poor storage and workflow.
Our Solution: We opened up the space by removing a wall to create an open-plan kitchen-family room. Added a large island with seating for casual meals. Installed pull-out pantry storage and organized zones for different cooking tasks. Used quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances.
Result: The new kitchen handles family meals and parties of 20+ people easily. The family says cooking is now enjoyable instead of stressful. The kitchen has become the heart of their home where everyone gathers.
Apartment Kitchen in Dubai Marina
Challenge: A young professional couple wanted a modern kitchen in their small apartment. The existing galley kitchen was cramped and dark with minimal storage.
Our Solution: We reconfigured the layout to create an L-shaped kitchen with a breakfast bar. Added upper cabinets to the ceiling for maximum storage. Used light colors and under-cabinet lighting to brighten the space. Installed European-style appliances to save space.
Result: The kitchen now has 60% more storage and feels twice as large. The breakfast bar provides casual dining space they didn’t have before. The couple now enjoys cooking together instead of avoiding the kitchen.
Traditional Kitchen in Sharjah
Challenge: An Emirati family wanted a kitchen that respected traditional cooking methods while incorporating modern convenience. They needed separate prep areas for different types of cooking.
Our Solution: We created distinct zones for traditional cooking, modern appliances, and food preparation. Added a traditional bread oven alongside modern equipment. Used materials that honor local aesthetics while being practical. Included plenty of storage for traditional cookware.
Result: The family can prepare traditional feasts efficiently while using modern appliances for daily cooking. The kitchen respects their cultural needs while being highly functional. Guests consistently compliment the thoughtful design.
