Dubai’s retail calendar confirms the Dubai Home Festival from 3 to 16 October 2025. The event highlights citywide promotions on furniture, décor, and home tech. Visit Dubai notes discounts of up to 75 percent at participating stores.
Expect bundle deals on sofas, beds, dining sets, and rugs. Many brands include free delivery in Dubai. Some extend offers to Abu Dhabi with minimum order values. Marina and JLT homeowners often target lighting, curtains, and balcony seating ahead of the good weather. Meydan villa owners look for garden pieces and pergolas.
Program elements
Sales and raffles
Retailers run flash sales for limited hours. There are raffles for gift cards and room makeovers. Terms vary, so check store pages. The festival sits between summer promotions and the November design fairs, which helps buyers finish 2025 projects.
Workshops and expert talks
Past editions featured sessions on space planning and maintenance. Shoppers learned simple care routines for fabrics and woods in the UAE climate. Keep an eye on the event calendar for 2025 schedules. Visit Dubai lists locations as updates go live.
Practical buying tips
Measure walls and windows in centimeters. Ask for swatch boxes for curtains and sofas. Request AED quotes with installation. Confirm stair or lift access in Marina towers. Ask for moisture-resistant boards for bathrooms. Confirm lead times to Abu Dhabi.
Sustainability angle
Residents can pair festival purchases with home energy actions. Look for LED luminaires with lower watts per square meter and dimmers. Choose blackout linings to reduce cooling loads in summer. Many stores now label recycled content in rugs and panels.
Budgeting and warranty
Most retailers publish AED price tiers for sofa frames and fabric grades. Ask for written warranty years. For motorised tracks, ask about spare parts and service in Dubai.
Outlook
The October window lets buyers complete installs before the November fairs and the holiday season. Stock moves fast. Pre-book delivery for JLT and Marina buildings with access slots.
