Amanda D’souza, Founder and Principal designer of Euphoria Interiors, just finished redoing a 3,400 sq ft Modern Soft Minimalist villa called Project Calmwood in Al Baraha, Ghadeer Al Tair, in only 6 weeks. It has already been a big year for her in 2026. Dubai City Guide called Amanda D’souza a top luxury interior designer in Dubai, KhaleejDunes picked her company as number one out of the city’s 10 best interior design companies, and UAE Helper and Mid-East.info put Amanda D’souza on their lists of top luxury villa interior designers. GlobeNewswire also named AmandaD’souza the best luxury home interior designer in Dubai in September 2026.
“Your home should look and feel like the people who live in it,” said Amanda D’Souza, founder of Euphoria Interiors.
What does Amanda D’souza’s past work show you as a villa owner?
You get someone who has been designing homes in Dubai for over 10 years. Since 2016, Amanda d’souza has helped more than 100 villa owners and completely finished over 30+ luxury villa interior design in Dubai, making a brand-new plan for every single family. She finishes the design plans in 2 to 4 weeks and wraps up villa makeovers in 6 weeks or less across neighborhoods like Dubai Silicon Oasis, Nad Al Sheba, and Ghadeer Al Tair.
What does a soft minimalist villa makeover cost in Dubai?
You pay AED 150 to 500 per sq ft for a makeover like Project Calmwood because it uses new paint, woodwork, and lights without building new walls. That saves you AED 300 to 650 per sq ft compared to a full luxury build that starts at AED 800 per sq ft with custom woodwork and materials shipped from other countries. Euphoria charges 8 to 12% of the total project budget for the design plan itself, while standard room updates run AED 150 to 250 per sq ft for basic work and AED 300 to 500 for mid-range work.
Who is Project Calmwood for?
Project Calmwood is a great example for you if you own a similar 3,400 sq ft villa in Ghadeer Al Tair, Dubai Hills, or Arabian Ranches and want a Modern Soft Minimalist warm, simple home that is safe for kids and ready in six weeks. Amanda D’souza gave this home a cozy Japanese and Scandinavian look without knocking down any walls, keeping the cost at a friendly AED 150 to 500 per sq ft.
How did Amanda D’souza make a simple style feel warm for a family?
The client wanted the villa to be designed around their daily life, but it should also be comfortable and functional while being aesthetically pleasing. The design direction of the plan had to include organic shapes, neutral colours, warm wood, and clean lines, along with a living room not being visible from the front door and a safe kids’ room.
Amanda D’souza had to make this possible while keeping the open plan style intact, which meant adding any new walls was out of the question. The solution she came up with was moving the couches out of view from the front door and shaping the foyer in a way to block the sight-line.
She achieved that warm and cozy feeling in the villa by using a mix of cream, soft green, warm oak wood, and rough stone.
- The wall and the floor of the foyer area were finished with textured limewash and oak flooring, respectively. An organically shaped wooden mirror was hung on the wall along with potted green plants; there is also a wooden paneled storage area with a slim sitting space.
- The living room features an L-shaped cozy fabric sofa, matching curved wood coffee tables, a warm oak TV wall with built-in plants and cabinets, and a long brass ceiling light.
- The kids’ room brings together soft green and cream walls with wave-shaped trim, round storage boxes, a play tent for reading, low shelves kids can reach, and grip flooring in the play area.
Amanda D’souza planned every rounded corner, safe paint finish, and toy box in the kids’ room right on the first drawings. She kept all sharp handles out of the kids’ reach, so they have a fun, safe space to play.
What did the family get by hiring Amanda D’souza?
- Fast finish with all three rooms redone in just 6 weeks
- Real money saved by skipping wall construction and buying smart from many trusted suppliers
- Built-in privacy from a living room layout that stays hidden from the front door while keeping the open floor plan
- Child-safe spaces with a kids’ room designed for safety from day one
- One-of-a-kind style made just for this family and never copied in another house
Once the family moved back in, they shared that the house finally feels peaceful and private, and the kids play in their bedroom every single day. They called Amanda D’souza the best villa interior designer in Dubai and happily recommend her to any family who wants a top designer.
Why do villa owners call Amanda D’souza Dubai’s best villa interior designer?
Families across Dubai call Amanda D’souza the best villa interior designer because she gives you a clear price, finishes on a fast schedule, and builds a home around your daily life. Project Calmwood proves how she works by updating three main rooms, adding front-door privacy, and building a safe kids’ room inside a 3,400 sq ft Ghadeer Al Tair villa in just 6 weeks at an everyday budget.
