Kuwait City's interior design market is dominated by large residential commissions — Kuwaiti families invest heavily in villa interiors, with Majlis (formal reception) and Diwaniya spaces being critical design requirements unique to Kuwaiti culture. Commercial interior design for The Avenues and other major retail and F&B venues is also a significant market sector.
Majlis and Diwaniya Design in Kuwait
The Majlis — formal men's reception room — and the Diwaniya — a regular social gathering space specific to Kuwaiti culture — are functional and cultural design requirements that distinguish Kuwaiti villa projects from other Gulf residential briefs. These spaces require understanding of how they are used socially, how guest flow is managed, and what materials and furniture communicate appropriate formal hospitality. Designers unfamiliar with Kuwaiti residential culture often miss these requirements.
