Villas have been sought after since Roman times, and these spacious houses still define luxury living today. When it comes to modern villa styling in the UAE, it’s about making the most of all the space – both indoors and outdoors – and elegantly combining traditional influences with the principles of modern design. Whatever your aesthetic, carpets and rugs are key to creating a contemporary home that’s both stylish and functional. Read on to discover our villa décor ideas for 2024.
Understanding UAE villa décor style
A typical UAE villa combines modern minimalism with traditional Arabic influences. Think wide, open spaces with grand windows, minimalist furniture and a harmonious mix of neutral tones like beige, cream and soft greys. Decorative pieces such as Persian rugs and statement lighting add an element of luxury.
Choosing the right carpet for each space
Living rooms: large carpets for grand spaces
In the UAE, as elsewhere, villas are generously proportioned homes with plenty of space to enjoy. If your villa has a large, open plan living room, a large carpet is essential to define different zones within the space and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Neutral tones will complement any colour palette, while Persian rugs will add a luxury heritage feel. Or why not choose one of our bold, contemporary carpet designs to create an eye-catching centrepiece?
Entryways and hallways: stylish runner rugs
Villas typically have a good amount of outdoor space, so it’s likely that your entryway will see a lot of foot traffic. A hallway carpet runner not only sets the aesthetic for your entire villa but will also protect your flooring as you and your guests move around the property. Runner rugs also make a welcome addition to your living room, brightening up odd corners or defining the area in front of any French windows.
Indoor vs. outdoor carpets
One of the benefits of a villa is the outdoor space it typically provides. While indoor and outdoor spaces call for different materials, there’s nothing to stop you choosing styles that complement each other. Opt for durable, weather-resistant outdoor rugs that echo the colours and patterns of your indoor carpets to create a seamless experience as the party flows from living room to patio.
Round carpets: a modern focal point
Round circle rugs make the perfect luxury home accessories for a spacious interior. A beige round rug will help you define a smaller area within a large, open-plan living space, while contemporary round carpets in bold colours will make a real statement in your villa – whether you place them under a round table or let them enjoy pride of place in the centre of your room.
