showroom experience to ensure the right solution for each space.

We have showrooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where clients can experience our lighting collections
in person and receive guidance from our team.

Do I need an appointment to visit the showroom?

larger projects or specific requirements, appointments can be arranged upon request.

Products & Technical Information

Are your lighting products compliant with UAE regulations?

+

Yes. All lighting products sold by White & Velvet comply with UAE electricity safety
regulations.

Can you help me choose the right lighting for my space?

+

Yes. Our team can help you explore lighting according to room size, layout, ceiling height, furniture proportions and intended use, whether you are selecting a single fixture or lighting for several spaces. You can also explore our Lighting & Design Guide for practical advice on scale, placement and layered lighting.

What types of lighting does White & Velvet offer?

+

White & Velvet specialises in lighting, with collections including chandeliers and ceiling lights, pendant lamps, flush ceiling lights, wall sconces, reading lights, picture lights, table lamps, floor lamps and coordinated Lighting Families. Selected accent furniture and decorative pieces are also available to complement our lighting collections.

What is a Lighting Family?

+

A Lighting Family is a group of coordinated fixtures that share related forms, materials, finishes or design details across different lighting types. A family may include chandeliers, ceiling lights, pendant lamps, wall sconces, table lamps or floor lamps, allowing lighting to feel connected across different areas of an interior. Explore our Lighting Families.

What is the difference between a chandelier and a flush ceiling light?

+

Chandeliers and suspended ceiling lights extend further into the room and can create a stronger focal point, while flush ceiling lights sit closer to the ceiling. The most suitable option depends on ceiling height, room proportions, required clearance and the visual presence you want the lighting to have.

Delivery

Do you deliver across the UAE?

+

Yes. We deliver across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other Emirates. Delivery charges may vary depending on location and order size. Additional charges may apply for remote or out-of-city locations. For full delivery information, please refer to our Delivery & Installation Policy.

How long does delivery take?

expected timelines at the time of purchase.

Can I collect my order instead of having it delivered?

+

Do you offer international shipping?

Do you install on gypsum ceilings?
