How much does it cost to fit out a home office in a Dubai apartment?

A properly fitted home office in a Dubai apartment spare bedroom typically costs AED 8,000–AED 20,000 depending on the level of finish. Here's a realistic breakdown: Basic setup (flat-pack desk, simple shelving, upgraded lighting): AED 3,000–AED 6,000. Mid-range (custom-built fitted desk and storage, acoustic treatment, proper task lighting, cable management): AED 8,000–AED 15,000. Premium (fully bespoke joinery, sit-stand desk, soundproofing, dual monitor arm, premium lighting): AED 15,000–AED 25,000+. The biggest impact items for working from home in Dubai are: acoustic treatment (Dubai's buildings carry sound badly), proper task lighting (reduces eye strain in a sunny climate), and reliable power points in the right locations. Also worth considering: a dedicated AC unit or upgrading the existing unit in that room — a home office generates heat from equipment and you'll be in it all day.
