Room-by-Room Finishes Guide

Kitchen — What's Included & Personalisation Options

DAMAC kitchens are delivered with functional cabinetry, composite countertops, and standard appliance provisions. Kitchen layouts vary by community and villa type. Many homeowners choose to personalise with premium countertops, soft-close mechanisms, upgraded appliance packages, or reconfigured storage to suit their cooking style.

Bathrooms — What's Included & Personalisation Options

Bathrooms include sanitaryware, vanity units, and tiled walls and floors. Finishes are clean and functional. Popular upgrades include frameless glass shower enclosures, upgraded tile selections, heated towel rails, and enhanced vanity storage to create a more personalised bathing experience.

Flooring — What's Included & Personalisation Options

Living areas feature porcelain or ceramic tile flooring. The finish is consistent and well-laid. Homeowners often personalise by adding engineered wood or natural stone in select areas, or by upgrading tile selections in high-traffic zones to create warmer, more distinctive interiors.

Electrical & Smart Home — What's Included & Personalisation Options

Electrical installations meet Dubai's DEWA standards with modern wiring and adequate socket distribution. Common personalisations include adding smart home systems, USB charging points, additional outdoor lighting circuits, and enhanced data cabling for home offices.

Outdoor & Landscaping — What's Included & Personalisation Options

Outdoor areas are delivered in various states depending on the community — from fully landscaped gardens in premium communities to prepared-but-unfinished plots in newer developments. Pool installation, pergolas, and professional landscaping are the most popular outdoor additions.

What Homeowners Typically Invest in Personalisation

AED 50,000 to AED 400,000+ depending on community and scope. DAMAC Hills 2 personalisations often start at the lower end, while DAMAC Hills premium villas may require more extensive upgrades.
