HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT
Forte Apartment - Dubai
A refined expression of contemporary living, the Forte Apartment project showcases a carefully curated approach to interior styling in Dubai. Designed and executed by The Studio by DH, this project blends sophistication with functionality, creating a space that is both visually striking and effortlessly livable.

Exterior Area
The interior styling of the Forte apartment was approached with a clear vision: to create an elegant, sophisticated space that balances form and function. The apartment features a neutral color palette, allowing textures, curated accessories, and layered lighting to take center stage. The goal was to achieve a cohesive design that feels contemporary yet comfortable, with a timeless appeal that complements the urban landscape outside.
Material and Texture Selection
A key aspect of the project was the layering of textures to add depth to the space. Soft bouclé and linen textiles were introduced to create a tactile experience, while polished marble and brass details brought in a refined contrast. The choice of furniture emphasized organic shapes, ensuring fluidity within the space while maintaining a structured layout.
Lighting and Spatial Planning
Lighting was a crucial consideration in the overall scheme. The existing architectural lighting was complemented with decorative pendants and strategically placed table accents to introduce warmth and dimension. The selection of light fixtures, including a sculptural brass chandelier and understated table lamps, ensures a balance between ambient and task lighting, enhancing both function and mood.
Work we're proud of

Interior
The goal was to achieve a cohesive design that feels contemporary yet comfortable, with a timeless appeal that complements the urban landscape outside.
Styling Details and Finishing Touches
The finishing touches were meticulously curated to achieve a lived-in elegance. Earth-toned ceramics, handcrafted candle holders, and contemporary abstract art provided subtle yet impactful layers of interest. The introduction of greenery, through structured arrangements in artisanal vases, adds an organic element that balances the structured nature of the furniture.
Design Approach
The dining space was designed to reflect the same principles of understated luxury, with upholstered seating, marble table surfaces, and minimalist tableware selections that reinforce the cohesive design language throughout the apartment.
