The Creative Design was founded by Raissa, an architect and interior designer, and Juliana, an engineer, friends for 16 years who share a passion for creating meaningful spaces.
After careers in large corporations and experiences across countries, we combined our expertise in Dubai’s construction market to launch a studio built o n creativity, knowledge, and dedication. As mothers and home leaders, we understand the importance of creating spaces that make life easier and more beautiful.
It depends on the size of your villa, if you want inside or outside (or both), and detail level requested. On the furnishing side, if the client wants a luxury space with high-end finishes, signature furniture and decoration pieces, these will also impact your project price.
Having a stipulated budget is very important for the designer because we will look for solutions that align your vision, needs and wants to the suggested final price.
Of course we can suggest cheaper options maintaining quality and comfort, but with a budget in hand we are able to suggest better quality in the most important steps of the project that will bring either impact aesthetically or in how cozy your home is.
The Interior Design Process is a step by step path that transforms the client’s vision into a functional and wonderful place.
The main Steps are below and depending on the clients needs, not all of them will be applicable but all of them will be agreed between client and designer prior to work commencement (e.g. Procurement, Project coordination):
The Scope of Work defines what is included under the designer’s responsibility. Again it varies according to the client’s needs and has to be agreed and signed between the client and the designer:
A. Design Scope: Space planning, Mood boards and concept design, 3D renderings, Furniture and lighting selection. Custom joinery design (kitchens, wardrobes, vanities, etc.). Coordination with MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) layouts;
B. Documentation Scope: Detailed design drawings, Bill of quantities (optional or by request).
C. Project Coordination Scope: (optional or limited). Reviewing work during execution to maintain design integrity. Attending site meetings. Approving material samples or finishes
An interior designer focuses on both aesthetics and function—including layout, materials, durability, and coordination with construction. A decorator mainly focuses on styling and visual finishes like furniture, colors, and accessories.
Of course, yes! We can incorporate existing pieces into the new design when they fit the concept and proportions of the space. In fact our company values heritage and all that makes you feel right at home and makes your space unique.
Yes, we can provide project interface coordination to ensure the work matches the approved design to the minimal details. We want to work as the eyes of the client, bridging and filtering all the stress of the execution phase. Execution itself is done by third-party contractors.
Fees may be fixed (per project), hourly, or based on area (per square meter/foot) and complexity. It depends on the scope of work and project complexity.
Yes — we always design according to your budget, offering alternatives for materials and furniture to stay within your range.
We can recommend trusted partners that are reliable in time and quality of work. But you can also choose your own. The final contract for execution is between the client and the contractor.
This is a frequent and genuine question. The client wants to understand where responsibility lies if something goes wrong. Since the execution team is hired and paid directly by the client, any errors in workmanship or construction are their contractual responsibility.
Our role is to reduce those risks: we prepare detailed drawings, specifications, and we monitor the work on site to make sure it aligns with the approved design. If a mistake occurs because of a gap in our drawings, we own that and correct it. If the mistake is on the execution side, it is for the contractor to resolve at no additional cost to you. In short, our skin in the game is our design accountability and our role as your representative to ensure contractors deliver what was promised.
