Creating refined living spaces that are thoughtful, considered, and entirely personal – designed around the way you live.
At LC Interiors, every project is led personally by founder Lana Challis – a UK-trained architect and interior designer with over a decade of experience shaping luxury homes across Dubai.
We don't follow trends. We listen, observe, and design spaces that are unmistakably yours – grounded in architectural rigour, enriched by craft, and shaped by how you actually want to live.
We design for both full villa interiors and refined apartments, adapting our approach to the scale of each property rather than applying a single template. A villa typically calls for a broader material palette, custom joinery at scale, and coordination with landscaping and pool contractors, while an apartment demands smarter storage solutions and considered lighting within a tighter footprint. The same architectural rigour and personal attention apply to both, whether the brief is a five-bedroom villa or a high-floor apartment overlooking the water.
Our projects span some of Dubai's most sought-after residential communities, including Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Islands, and Dubai Creek Harbour – each bringing its own architectural character that shapes the material, lighting, and layout decisions we make on every project.
Every project is led personally by Lana Challis from first sketch to final installation, so the same eye that shapes the concept is present for every decision that follows – there is no hand-off to a junior team partway through.
Lana holds a Master's degree in Architectural Design and trained in the UK before establishing the studio in Dubai, bringing an architecturally grounded perspective to interiors that goes beyond styling alone. Over more than a decade working across the UAE, that training has shaped a considered, detail-driven approach to every villa and apartment we take on.
Because we obtain multiple quotations and compare costs transparently at every stage, clients have clear visibility of their budget throughout the project rather than only at the beginning and the end – and because we manage permit approvals and community sign-offs directly, homeowners are not left to navigate Dubai's approval processes on their own.

Learn MoreA structured, transparent journey from first conversation to final reveal
We begin with a conversation – understanding your lifestyle, tastes, and aspirations for the space.
Mood boards, spatial plans, material palettes, and 3D visualisations bring the vision into sharp focus.
We manage every contractor and every detail – so the design is executed precisely as envisioned.
Final furnishing, accessorising, and the moment you walk into a home that feels unmistakably yours.
A transparent process, so you always know where your budget stands
Every engagement starts with an initial consultation where we define the scope of work in detail – the rooms involved, the level of finish, and the services required, whether that's interior design and architecture alone or full project management from concept through to installation.
Once the scope is agreed, we obtain multiple quotations for every stage of work and provide clear, side-by-side cost comparisons rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it number. Contractors and suppliers are recommended based on proven track record, not simply the lowest bid, which protects the quality of the finished work as much as the budget.
From that point, your budget is tracked throughout the project – not just estimated at the start and revisited at the end – so any variation is flagged and discussed before it becomes a surprise on a final invoice. Permit approvals and the community sign-offs required for villa and apartment renovations across Dubai are also handled as part of our project management service, so you are not left navigating that process alone.
If you're ready to discuss your own villa or apartment project, the best first step is a personal consultation with Lana – where we talk through your space, your goals, and your budget before any formal proposal is put together.
Answers to the questions we hear most often from Dubai homeowners
Every project follows the same four-stage journey: Discovery & Brief, where we get to know your lifestyle and aspirations; Concept & Design, where mood boards, spatial plans, and material palettes take shape; Build & Install, where we manage contractors and joinery on-site; and Style & Handover, the final furnishing and styling before you move in.
Yes. We work across full villa interiors – with larger material palettes, custom joinery, and coordination with landscaping – as well as apartment interiors, where smart storage and considered lighting matter more within a tighter footprint. The service is the same; the approach adapts to the property.
Our projects span communities including Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Islands, and Dubai Creek Harbour, along with other villa and apartment communities across the city.
We begin with an initial consultation to define the scope of work, then obtain multiple quotations for every stage so you receive clear cost comparisons rather than a single number. Contractors are recommended on proven track record, and your budget is tracked throughout the project – not just estimated at the start – so there are no hidden costs.
Yes. Permit approvals and community sign-offs required for villa and apartment renovation projects are managed as part of our project management service, so you don't have to navigate Dubai's approval processes directly.
Timelines vary with scope, but most full villa or apartment interior projects move through discovery, design, and procurement over several weeks before on-site build and installation begins, with regular updates from Lana and the team at every stage.
