For curtain installation in Abu Dhabi, the first useful distinction is between fitting curtains you already own and supplying a complete treatment. The second is property type: a high-rise apartment, townhouse and multi-room villa require different access planning, window schedules and hardware.
Photograph the complete opening and the ceiling or wall above it. Add the community or building, property type, number of openings, approximate height and whether tracks, brackets and curtains are already available.
Installation-only pricing for ready curtains
For a normal-height window with a sound existing track, an editorial starting range is approximately AED 25–50 for hanging only. A basic new track and fitting may move toward AED 70–130 per opening, while heavier double tracks, concealed ceiling details or difficult height can move beyond AED 150. The provider should confirm travel, hardware and access charges in writing.
Build a window schedule for an Abu Dhabi villa
A single whole-house number hides the reason one quotation differs from another. Give every window a row containing the room, width, height, layer requirement, preferred light control, track type and access notes. Prioritise bedrooms and privacy-critical spaces first if the project will be phased.
| Space | Main decision | Useful evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Blackout and side-light control | Window, bed position and daylight direction |
| Living room | Daytime sheer plus decorative layer | Full wall width and nearby furniture |
| Majlis | Wide openings and formal finish | All openings, corners and ceiling details |
| Study | Screen glare or privacy | Desk position and working hours |
Custom curtain designs for Abu Dhabi homes
Agree the approved sample, lining, pleat or wave heading, fullness, track, decorative finishing and installation before comparing totals. Heavy majlis fabrics require hardware designed for their finished weight; a quotation that lists only the fabric name is incomplete.
Five made-to-measure curtain designs you can request through Rafeeg
These original visualisations show the intended composition. Select a design, then send the window dimensions and a site photo so available providers can quote the same brief.
Royal Emerald Velvet
Heavy emerald velvet with blackout lining, a curved tassel edge and braided tiebacks. The weight requires a suitable track and properly rated brackets.
Choose it for stronger light control, a formal finish and colour depth that responds well to layered lighting.
What is included in this estimate?
Two outer panels, lining, decorative trim, two tiebacks, a standard manual track, measurement and installation.
Soft Grey Linen with Gold Tieback
A warm light-grey linen blend with ordered pleats, neutral lining and champagne-gold tiebacks. The supplied tieback reference was developed into a complete, practical curtain design.
A versatile choice for apartments and modern living rooms because the neutral palette works with many finishes without looking plain.
What is included in this estimate?
Two outer panels, lining, two gold tiebacks, a standard manual ceiling track, measurement and installation.
Pearl Embroidered Jacquard
Pearl-toned jacquard with a restrained sheen, tone-on-tone botanical embroidery, satin lining and a lace, bead and fine-tassel edge.
Suitable for light reception rooms and majlis spaces where close-up detail matters more than a strong colour statement.
What is included in this estimate?
Two embroidered panels, lining, decorative edge, two double tiebacks, a manual track, measurement and installation.
Smoky Blue Damask
A smoky blue and taupe woven damask with a small two-tone tassel trim and sculptural hand-finished tiebacks.
Useful when the room needs a visible classic pattern that connects beige, taupe and blue furniture or wall finishes.
What is included in this estimate?
Two jacquard panels, lining, trim and tiebacks, a weight-rated manual track, measurement and installation.
Layered Classic Celadon
A complete classical treatment with celadon satin outer curtains, embroidered ivory sheers, a top swag, graduated side jabots, a padded pelmet, gold braid and a double track.
The most detailed option for formal windows, combining a usable daytime sheer layer with a complete ceremonial composition.
What is included in this estimate?
Two outer panels, two sheer panels, swag and side pieces, pelmet, decorative trim, two tiebacks, a double manual track, measurement and installation.
The figures combine publicly listed UAE fabric, making, manual-track and installation ranges reviewed on 29 August 2026. Mid-range complete treatments commonly sit around AED 500–1,100 per window, while velvet, silk and jacquard frequently move into AED 1,100–2,500+; embroidery, swags, layered construction and hand finishing increase the result. Sources reviewed include complete custom-curtain ranges, fabric and heading prices, and embroidered Arabic curtain ranges. These are educational estimates, not binding Rafeeg or provider prices.
Apartment and community access
Ask building management about contractor times, service-lift booking, loading areas and drilling rules before confirming the appointment. For high windows, tell the provider the approximate height so the team arrives with suitable access equipment rather than converting the first visit into another survey.
Handover checks before closing the request
Open and close every panel several times, check track level and fabric clearance, inspect the wall around each fixing, test daytime privacy and nighttime closure, and retain the final fabric and hardware specifications. Document any agreed installation warranty and the process for a return visit.
