Room-by-Room Finishes Guide
Kitchen — What's Included & Personalisation Options
Emaar villas typically include well-proportioned kitchens with cabinetry in neutral tones, quartz or engineered stone countertops, and integrated appliance provisions. The layouts are functional and well-thought-out. Many homeowners choose to personalise with upgraded appliance brands, natural stone countertops, or custom cabinetry finishes to reflect their individual style.
Bathrooms — What's Included & Personalisation Options
Bathrooms come fitted with quality sanitaryware, modern vanities, and clean tile finishes. Waterproofing standards are generally reliable. Popular personalisations include upgrading to statement tiles, adding frameless glass shower enclosures, or installing freestanding bathtubs for a more spa-like atmosphere.
Flooring — What's Included & Personalisation Options
Standard flooring across living areas is typically porcelain tile in neutral tones with consistent grouting. Many homeowners personalise by adding engineered wood flooring in bedrooms and living areas, or upgrading to natural marble in formal spaces to create distinct zones throughout the home.
Electrical & Smart Home — What's Included & Personalisation Options
Electrical systems are modern and well-specified. Switch plates and sockets are functional and neatly installed. Some owners choose to upgrade to smart home switches, add additional power points, or install dimmer controls for a more customised lighting experience.
Outdoor & Landscaping — What's Included & Personalisation Options
Villas are handed over with basic landscaping — boundary walls, paved pathways, and planted areas. The outdoor space is a blank canvas for personalisation: pool installation, garden design, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and landscape lighting are the most popular additions.
What Homeowners Typically Invest in Personalisation
AED 80,000 to AED 500,000+ depending on scope — from a focused kitchen and bathroom upgrade to a full villa personalisation including pool and landscaping.
