Interior Design Company in Abu Dhabi

IAIA is an interior design company working in Abu Dhabi, designing the interiors of private residences on Jubail Island, Saadiyat Island and across the capital. 

The studio was founded in 1994 and works from Dubai Design District; since then it has completed more than 320 projects in 12 countries — villas, hotels, restaurants and offices. 

Our recent Abu Dhabi work is residential: Amalgam Residence, a 3,200 m² family house completed in 2025; B&H Residence, a 1,200 m² house on Saadiyat Island; and Villa Sira, a 750 m² interior on Jubail Island — the last two now under construction.

Each project starts from one concept the whole house can be read through; layout, materials and light follow from it. 

Amalgam Residence was planned as a story, with the entrance hall as the core where every route begins. Villa Sira takes its curves and its travertine, green marble and brass palette from the island’s mangroves.

When you entrust us with your vision, our interior designers, architects, and consultants in Abu Dhabi embark on a journey of collaboration, seeking to design the space you desire. We listen intently to your aspirations, blending our expertise with your personal taste, resulting in designs that reflect your individuality.

Alongside homes, the studio designs hotels, restaurants and offices: 210 residential projects, 42 hotels and 69 F&B, corporate and commercial projects to date. 

Our interior design services in Abu Dhabi run from concept and design development to detailed drawings and design guardianship on site, with the scope set for each project. A formal majlis for guests, family rooms that stay calm, an office for focus: each room gets its own brief within one palette — at B&H Residence, walnut lattice screens link the rooms, the office is panelled in deep green and the guest washroom is finished in terracotta plaster and veined marble.

Material palettes, layouts and lighting are developed together rather than as separate decisions — on Villa Sira, for instance, the material choices follow the concept worked out for the plot’s orientation and light.

As an interior design firm in Abu Dhabi, we stay involved after the drawings are issued. We review shop drawings, samples and mock-ups and follow the work on site, so that what is built matches what was designed. For owners starting from a plot, our development management service covers the decisions taken before design begins.

Our team works closely with joiners, stone suppliers and contractors on details such as stone-clad bathrooms, timber lattice screens and curved plaster walls. On Villa Sira and B&H Residence, the landscape by Urbanforms is coordinated with the interiors from the start.

The studio’s work has been recognised internationally, including a Winner title at the DNA Paris Design Awards 2025 for Villa Yakro Hotel & Resort and the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2023 Winner title for Best Luxury Interior Design Firm (see all awards). IAIA is led by Ramzi Jizi; Darine Jabeili was lead architect on Amalgam Residence and B&H Residence. 

If you are planning a villa or residence in Abu Dhabi, we would be glad to hear about it. Tell us about your project and we will arrange a first conversation, in Abu Dhabi or at our studio in Dubai Design District.
