Commercial Interior Design in Dubai
Offices, Shops, Clinics and Restaurants Designed in 3D

Liger Interiors designs commercial spaces that work for your team, your customers and your brand. We plan the layout, create detailed 3D visualisations so you can see the space before committing, and prepare the drawings your fit-out needs. Execution is then carried out by our trusted fit-out contractors under our supervision.

WHY COMMERCIAL DESIGN MATTERS

Your Space Is Part of Your Business

A commercial interior is judged every day by staff, clients and customers. The layout decides how smoothly people move, the finishes decide how the space holds up under heavy use, and the lighting and materials tell visitors what kind of business you are before anyone says a word.

Designing it properly before the fit-out starts is also the cheapest way to avoid mistakes: changes on paper cost almost nothing, changes on site cost time and money. In Dubai, the design also has to work with building rules and authority approvals, which differ by location and sector.

Commercial Spaces We Design

Every sector has its own rules, materials and timelines. Our comparison of office, retail and restaurant fit-outs explains the differences in cost and time.

Offices

Open work areas, meeting rooms, reception and break spaces, planned in 3D around your headcount and brand.

Retail and Shops

Customer flow, display lighting, shelving and counters that help products sell.

Restaurants and Cafes

Seating plans, bar counters and front-of-house atmosphere, coordinated with kitchen and food-safety needs.

Clinics and Dental Practices

Calm reception and waiting areas, clear patient flow, and easy-to-clean finishes in treatment rooms.

Salons and Beauty

Styling stations, washing areas and lighting that flatters, with finishes that handle water and product.

Fit-Out and Execution

Once the design is approved, our trusted fit-out contractors build it under our supervision.

Commercial Design and Fit-Out: How They Work Together

Design decides what the space will be: the layout, materials, lighting, joinery and brand expression, shown to you in 3D and set out in drawings. Fit-out is the construction that turns those drawings into a working space: partitions, ceilings, electrical and AC coordination, flooring and finishing.

We lead the design and supervise the fit-out, which our trusted contractors carry out. This keeps one team accountable for the finished result, while each stage is handled by specialists. Read our designer vs contractor guide, or see the full fit-out process in Dubai.

COST AND TIMELINE

What Shapes a Commercial Budget

We start with the 3D design, then provide a detailed execution quotation once the design is final. Large commercial projects typically take 3 to 6 months, and a detailed schedule is shared at the initial consultation. For typical ranges, read our fit-out cost breakdown for Dubai.

FactorWhy it matters
Size and layoutMore area and more rooms mean more partitions, ceilings, lighting and flooring.
Sector requirementsClinics, kitchens and salons need specific finishes, services and approvals that offices do not.
Unit conditionShell-and-core units need everything built; units with an old fit-out may need stripping out first.
Brand finishesCustom joinery, feature walls and specialist materials cost more than standard finishes.
ApprovalsBuilding and authority rules affect drawings, fees and timeline, and vary by location.
TimingOut-of-hours work or phased handovers to keep a business open can affect cost.
