I love this place...
Sheikh Zayed Road
Rahil Hesan, CEO of Warda Haute Couture fashion boutique, opens the door to her glamorous, three-bedroom apartment in Safa Tower... Images by Nasir Rauf
November 2011
Cover Feature
How long have you lived here on SZR? Only one year, I was living in Burjuman Residences before but I moved here because the rent is so competitively priced – I’m paying half what I was before for a similar sized apartment. I really like living in big houses, I was born and raised in Dubai in a big villa, but once I established myself (I’ve been in the fashion industry for seven years now) I moved out. What kind of residents does this area seem to attract? The people here are mostly from the UAE and Middle East. Most people also work in DIFC and are single. There aren’t too many families in this particular tower. What’s the best thing about living here? The space and the fact that it’s quiet and very chilled out. Sheikh Zayed Road is right downstairs, but you cannot hear it at all. Also, although I don’t have curtains, no one can see in to my flat due to the dark windows, so it’s very open but very private. Where do you tend to go to shop or get a bite to eat nearby? I go to Okku and Zuma for fresh, sophisticated Japanese food and Caramel for international food. These are the three spots I hang out in. For Shisha I go to Mezza House in Bur Dubai. For shopping I go to The Dubai Mall or to BurJuman shopping centre. I like to shop in quiet places, so BurJuman is ideal. Plus, they

‘Don’t rush; interiors take time and cannot be done overnight. Also, travel around for pieces, don’t settle on the first thing you see’ have some great coffee shops there which you can relax in after a shopping trip. What are the other facilities like here? In the building we have a gym, a pool and a spa with a steam room, sauna, cold pool and hot pool. Plus, there are plenty of taxis downstairs and the Metro close by. There are also schools nearby, including Wellington and the Canada International College. Jumeirah is 10 minutes away, as is Downtown and the airport. How did you come up with the idea for your apartment’s interiors? My signature style is actually black and white – it’s how I decorated my boutique and my previous apartment – but, this time, I decided to go for something different. My sister is an interior designer and she advised me to come up with a colour. Blue has never been my favourite colour, neither has beige, but they actually work really well in the home. I then made the chandeliers by hand. To get everything to match wasn’t easy; I imported pieces from Laura Ashley and collected pieces on my travels, including cow-skin rugs from South Africa which are in my dressing room and reading room. I also got cushions from Fendi, Marina Exotica and THE One in Dubai. My wallpaper was much trickier to find. I looked everywhere for the right one and was so disappointed and fed up about not finding what I wanted. Then, I was in Bur Dubai and saw a small boutique with an Iranian owner. I looked at his catalogues and got so excited because it was exactly what I was looking for. I asked him to come to my home the same day and decorate. The overall result is a really simple and classic design. What’s your favourite piece at home? I love everything but if I had to choose it would be the pictures of my niece and my piano. I play regularly and, while I can November 2011
change the furniture, I can not get away from the piano. I love classical, rock and roll, Latin and Iranian music but really hate house music – it’s too noisy for me. I like my space to think and be alone. Sometimes I don’t want to be disturbed so I have a room in my apartment where I just sit and look at the city. What’s the secret to good design? This is something you’re born with, but, this particular look was an experiment that came out really well. I think it is important with any design to add personal touches; I did this with my chandeliers. I really like plain crystal, so I bought the frames and decorated them with crystals I had imported, made by a Czechoslovakian designer. I designed these chandeliers in the same way I design dresses; using beading techniques. Can you share your top interior tips? Don’t rush; interiors take time and cannot be done overnight. Also, travel around for pieces, don’t settle on the first thing you see. Think about colour, too. Of course, you can speak to a designer, but remember you have to live in the space so it has to suit your needs and you have to be comfortable. Lastly, everyone can design, even if they think they don’t know how, so don’t be shy. Would you ever buy a house in Dubai? No, I’m not interested in property, I’m a designer. I’m here because my family is here but I do want to live in another country at some point, to get the experience of another culture. What’s the trick to making a Dubai apartment feel like a home? I’m frugal in certain areas of my life, but not when it comes to my home. Here you invest in your sleep, in your comfort, and your relaxation. This is where I create new designs, and I would do anything for my own comfort. That’s the secret for me.

Leisure time
Sheikh Zayed Road
Our all-you-need-to-know guide to daily life around Dubai’s famous highway... Renting
Flanked by facilities and amenities, Sheikh Zayed Road sits on the fringe of major areas, including DIFC, Jumeirah and Bur Dubai. While it’s not possible for expatriates to buy property along the multi-lane-highway, lessees will have their pick of competitively priced, spacious apartments in a variety of modern skyscrapers, the 22-floor-high Safa Tower among them, which boasts sweeping views of coast and city. The building also contains the Zahra Private Medical Centre (alzahra.com), the only residential-based hospital in Dubai. Further south, you’ll find numerous housing options, such as the post-modern, aluminum and glass Millennium Tower, where would-be residents can take their pick of some 407 luxury three and four bedroom apartments, and share a 25-metre pool, gym, squash courts and ten-storey car park.

Shopping and a bite The sky’s the limit when it comes to shopping and dining venues within SZR’s reach. Whether it’s rummaging around the local markets of Bur Dubai (Meena Bazaar, Khalid Bin Waleed Street), shopping for one-off vintage items in boutiques (try Bambah, bambah. com), or perusing the lavish likes of Chanel, Cartier and Gucci in The Dubai Mall (thedubaimall.com), they’re all a short drive away. Those who enjoy experimenting with food, meanwhile, should head to the fishing village in Jumeirah and sample the catch of the day at its fish shack eatery, Bu Qtair, where portions are cooked fresh and lathered in delicious Sri Lankan curry sauce. For everyday groceries, make for Jumeirah’s giant Spinneys or visit Jones the Grocer (jonesthegrocer.com) for specialty, gourmet fare. A multitude of hotels in close range make evening
Catch a movie at the 22-screen Reel Cinemas movie theatre (reelcinemas. ae) in The Dubai Mall, and enjoy films platinum-style in one of its VIP suites, complete with reclining chairs, waiter service and blankets. Close by, arty-types will love hanging out in the new Pavilion Downtown Dubai (pavilion.ae), an exhibition space and café where you can grab a beautifully-presented bite amid a show of white walls and retro furniture. The adventurous among you, meanwhile, will be pleased to know adrenalin-fuelled activities aren’t far away: nearby Kite Beach offers kayak hire and optimum kite-boarding conditions. Try Dubai Kite Fly Club (kitesurf.ae) for professional lessons daily. For family fun of a tamer ilk, make for the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo (thedubaiaquarium. com), where you can while away hours gazing at up to 33,000 types of marine life. Mums-on-the-go after a bit of time out, can relax with a massage at Tips and Toes on Jumeirah Road (tipsntoeshaven. com), where virtually every beauty treatment is on offer.
Schooling Most Dubai schools can be accessed within a 10 to 30 minute drive from SZR, with the excellent GEMS Wellington International School (gemseducation. com) the closest. Head north of SZR and you’ll find The Millennium School (millenniumschool.com) and the Sheffield Private School, which caters to primary and secondary international students and offers excellent sports facilities, from volleyball and basketball courts to an astro-turf football pitch. Alternatively, Al Diyafah school (diyafah.com), caters for pupils up to sixth form level.

Property Picks While would-be residents can’t buy property on Sheikh Zayed Road, chances to rent apartments are plentiful. Take a look at our top two for November…
Deluxe digs in Downtown Those wishing to set up home Downtown are sure to like this two-bed apartment, set inside the Al Meraikhi Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, next to the Shangri-La Hotel. In fact, its location places you five minutes from the famous Burj Khalifa, DIFC (great for commuters) and The Dubai Mall (great for shopaholics). Perhaps best of all, though, is the residents’ free-of-charge leisure facilities, which includes use of a rooftop, temperature-controlled swimming pool, gym, sauna and Jacuzzi. And the deluxe trimmings don’t stop there; the apartment is finished to a high standard, with each room boasting a city or sea view. What’s more, you won’t have to go far to fulfill your daily needs: the tower is home to a Lebanese restaurant, convenience store and dry cleaners. Add 24-hour security, CCTV surveillance, 24-hour maintenance, cable connection and white goods (washing machine, cooking range, fridge and dishwasher) to the list and we’re stuck for words on what else you might want from a property... Facts and figures: AED80,000 (per annum, three cheques), 1,228 square feet. Contact: Better Homes and quote reference number APM200448.

Today, in established areas, we are experiencing a supply shortage, resulting in increased sales and rental prices. For example, sale prices of some 2 bedroom villa types in The Springs have increased from AED 1 million to AED 1.25 million quite a significant increase. November 2011

Steal their style… Rodi Hennawi
Little Luxuries’ (littleluxuries.ae) visual specialist reveals an inside glimpse of his decor at home... Sum up your interiors in one sentence I am a music lover, so my style is very rock ‘n’ roll, along with extra things that remind me of my childhood. Where do shop for interior goods? I shop a lot online and also at Little Luxuries, flea markets and souks. What’s your favourite room at home? My living room; it’s got both a vintage and contemporary feel to it. My most loved item at home is... My velvet red chair. I bought it new from Dubizzle and it’s a really unique piece that you wouldn’t find in stores around Dubai. What items do you currently have you eye on? Monaco modern wallpaper from NGC Nafees; a SMEG Union Jack Fridge; and a vintage chair from Bella Cottage. No home should be without... Picture frames with photos that evoke great memories, and pets.

usic fans will love this drum side table, inspired by the iconic Beatles – a sure fire way to inject a helping of pop history in to your home. Joe Ephgrave painted the original drum featured on the cover of the Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club album – a cover that later reached $1million in a 2008 Christie’s auction. Which means, this replica image from Andrew Martin is something of a steal at AED10,457. andrewmartin.co.uk

How Clean is Your House?
Can’t rid that Dubai dust, no matter how many cleaners you bring in? Follow our cleaning guide for sparkling results Mary Poppins would be proud of... Rid stubboRn stains Tea If there’s a spillage on your carpet, try and remove it with a cold water cloth. If it’s made its way on to fabric, though, use hot water to rinse it out. After, use either carpet shampoo or detergent on the fabric and then dab it dry with an absorbent cloth or towel. BlackcurranT juice As soon as you spot the spillage, get dabbing! Rid as much as you can using a paper towel, but, if it’s on fabric, rinse the stained area immediately using a cold, damp cloth, then add soda solution and put the fabric in the washing machine on the highest temperature it can take. Still a stain there? Try dabbing it with a hydrogen peroxide solution. FaT and grease If the mess is on your carpet, cover the stain with a paper towel, then grab an iron, set it on a cool temperature and run it over towel: the paper should absorb the grease. If you’ve spilt it on upholstery, though, try talcum powder. Let the powder absorb the grease, wait for it to dry, and then vacuum it up. As a last resort, try methylated spirits. Pen If dreaded ink has made its way on to your clothes, try removing it using hydrogen peroxide. Don’t have the chemical to hand? Try shaving foam or hairspray. After, machine-wash the garment as usual and it should come out looking good as new. chewing gum Firstly, get some ice and freeze the culprit solid, then handpick off as much of the offending lump as you can. If there’s still residue, turn the heat up instead, by rubbing Deep Heat on the gum and blasting it with a hairdryer. When the gum has gone, wash the Deep Heat off with soapy water.

squeakY Clean
Farnek’s divisional manager of cleaning, andrea deutschbein, shares her know-how on the city’s cleanliness... How does cleaning homes differ in dubai to the rest of the world? A big problem here is poor construction. Windows are not tightly sealed and there’s usually dust everywhere. Water pipes leak and damage floors, and parquet floors are often damaged because they are cleaned using the wrong chemicals. Ongoing construction also creates a lot of dust and dirt and, of course, living in the desert is a major factor as sand literally gets everywhere. What is your top cleaning tip? To avoid a build-up of dirt by cleaning all household areas regularly. Invest in the right equipment; a few microfiber cloths and microfiber flat mops, a
vacuum cleaner and dump cleaner and correct chemicals. I’d also advise people not to use bleach or chlorex at home – it is harmful and does not clean at all. How can a clean home affect us psychologically? I’m no psychologist, but nobody feels comfortable in a messy environment, and of course it’s both unhygienic and unhealthy. How does Farnek achieve spotless surrounds safely and effectively? We’re committed to the environment and dedicated to CO2 reduction. That means we clean with sustainable products and chemicals, we maintain and increase the efficiency of technical installations, and support our customers with cutting edge, cost effective solutions to reduce their carbon footprints and save money.

scorch marks If you’ve left your hair straighteners or tongs on the carpet, banish the mark using a wire brush and scrubbing the burnt carpet tips away, or trimming the top layer. If it’s on a mat or rug, wash it with a light detergent and this should make any leftover stain fade. rusT If you have the orange stuff on your clothing, mix water, lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda together and soak the item in it for a couple of hours, then rinse. If it’s got hold of metalwork, though, wipe it with a wire brush or sandpaper. If grill pans have fallen prey, wash them with detergent, then cut a potato in half and rub the fresh side over the pan. chocolaTe It may look scary, but don’t panic. Scrape off as much of it as possible with a blunt instrument then shampoo it, or soak the stain in a soda solution.
Clean up YouR aCt keTTle Banish that horrible lime scale residue by filling your kettle with 50 per cent vinegar and 50 percent water and leaving it overnight. The next day, empty it, wash it with soapy water, refill it with fresh water, boil it and brew away, lime scale free... kiTchen sink To kill stubborn germs that a normal dishwashing liquid can’t, clean your sink with a weak bleach and water mixture. If your sink is a little rusty, try a bicarbonate of soda paste and use lemon juice to rid lime scale. mirrors and glass Mix one part washing soda to one part vinegar or lemon juice and wipe the surface of the glass or mirror with a cloth that’s been soaked in the mixture. Next, take a piece of screwed up newspaper and repeat the wiping action – surfaces will sparkle. washing machine Want to avoid fluff on your newly-washed clothes? Unclog your filter regularly and freshen up your machine by running it on empty with washing powder or clear vinegar. This prevents mildew and lime scale from growing inside.
work surFaces and Tiles If you’ve got some particularly dirty areas in your kitchen, mix bleach with water and use an old toothbrush to scrub between the tiles. On really stubborn spots, repeat the action using a kitchen cream cleaner or water with bicarbonate soda solution and a few drops of chlorine. crysTal and glasses For squeaky clean results, drop some white vinegar in to very hot water and rinse your glassware by hand. If there are tricky stains along the way, use white toothpaste to scrub them off gently. Place pricier crystal in a plastic bowl to prevent breakages in the process. Freezer Is your freezer starting to resemble an igloo? Take all of your food out and place it in a cool box with some ice. Next, defrost your fridge by turning it off and putting a bowl of hot water inside to speed up the process. When it’s fully thawed out, give it a soapy rub down. While the appliance is still off, vacuum the back of it – where the cooling devices are – and this will make it run more efficiently. TaPs Go to work on dirt rings by using a mild bathroom cleaner. If there’s still a lot of lime scale, though, dip a cloth in vinegar and you’ll be able to wipe it away in seconds. For extra shine, do the same again using white toothpaste: it really works.

Mentally plotting a style makeover for 2012? Take a tip from these latest looks from four very stylish design names… Festive Flair
Pottery Barn
Aragona, Western Furniture
November 2011
Allow Pottery Barn to inject a decorative helping of Christmas spirit in to your bedroom this year, with its cute, candy-striped bed lines and Pollie Bird print quilt (left). To achieve the full, winter-warming effect, focus your efforts on creating a cosy bed, with mismatching cushions piled high and layers upon layers of linens. You may not be in Lapland, but you’ll certainly feel like it. What’s more, once the season has passed, its stripy prints will stand the test of time, and you can tuck the more festive trimmings away until next year rolls in… Get the look: Pottery Barn at The Dubai Mall, potterybarn.com
snow white
While it may not be the ideal colour scheme if you have mucky-fingered little ones running around, a pure white theme proves a seriously chic option for kid-free bedrooms. What’s more, its fuss-free look eradicates distractions, aiding a good night’s sleep. We love this white leather bed by Western Furniture (below); a low-level design that makes for an elegant centrepiece. For a slick, polished look, flank it with gloss-white cabinets, or, if you prefer ‘shabby chic’, pair it with French antiquestyle furniture for added character. For a truly soothing setting, finish with a low-slung chandelier or candles. Get the look: Western Furniture, westernfurniture.ae

Those who want to make a bold statement in their beloved boudoir will love Designer Guild’s autumn 2011 collection, Amrapali (above). Its blue hues and floral prints take inspiration from the interiors of Indian palaces, making a creative nod to their exotic gardens and standout blossoms. If elaborate prints are a new concept in your household, why not simply adorn one key wall in the wallpaper for an eyecatching focal point? Get the look: Available at Maison d’Art, maisondart.ae

If space is an issue, but you don’t want to scrimp on style, you may have the perfect solution in this practical bed design by BoConcept. Simply pull its mattress base upwards, and you can store extra bedding – or whatever you choose – underneath, freeing up bags of extra space elsewhere. Shelves are also a great space-saving solution, meaning you can store books, gadgets and photo frames up high, and banish clutter at floor level.

home sweet home
Aromatherapist Denise Wickell (primabody.com) on the benefits of a sweet-smelling home... how important is the use of scents in the home? Very: smell is the strongest of our five senses, which means scents can instantly provide peace and comfort or invite invigoration and excitement. how can a smell affect our mood? When we inhale the aroma of an essential oil, the molecules immediately travel to a group of brain structures called the limbic system, which is our emotional control centre. Feelings such as depression, anxiety, anger, joy and happiness all originate in this region. The limbic system not only stores emotions and memories, but is associated with visceral functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion and hormone levels. This is why authentic aromatherapy affects everything; not just our minds and moods but our bodily functions. Are all aromas good for us? Many scents are made up of synthetic chemicals which have been shown to disrupt the body’s natural processes. These fragrances may be found in household cleaners, laundry detergents, fabric softeners and even candles. When scenting your home, it’s critical to use only naturally derived fragrances which will support the activities of the body. When pure essential oils are utilised, certain constituents of the aromatic oil can be measured in the blood stream. It’s of utmost importance, then, to use scents that are natural, not simply a chemical fragrance that smells nice.
Practical solutions for your household dilemmas
How Do I... Choose the right scent for my home? aromatherapy tips for every room...
1
Bathroom Create a simple room spray by adding 15 to 20 drops of essential oils to a pump bottle filled with water, or simply drop the oil straight in to your bath. Try combining lavender with two drops of clary sage, three drops of geranium and five drops of grapefruit to relax and invigorate you.
2
Lounge Use an electronic diffuser to release a fine mist of essential oils in to your living room. Not only will the space smell divine, but everyone in your household will breathe in vapourised oils, which can help fight airborne germs that spread illnesses like colds. Try a spruce oil to bring the scent of the great outdoors in, and add a touch of cinnamon and orange essential oils for a lovely, winter-inspired odour.
3
Kitchen Citrus is a fresh, zesty scent that works well in the kitchen. To achieve it, mix lemon and orange oils, which not only smell fresh and lively but can double up as antiseptic sprays – ideal for cleaning work surfaces. Alternatively, try spicier aromas, like ginger, which will smell as good as a pumpkin pie and stimulate your appetite.
4
Bedroom Tangerine, neroli or Roman chamomile are all great for kids’ rooms as they calm little ones down, just in time for bed. Lavender’s calming influence works in the same way too, or, try a drops of bergamot, sweet marjoram, cedar wood, or frankincense on a cotton ball beside their pillow; all of which can induce rest. In your own room, set a romantic mood by lightly spritzing sensual jasmine, ylang ylang or cardamom with a touch of anise or clove.
5
Study Here you’ll want to be mentally stimulated and remain calm to work efficiently. Dispense rosemary and spearmint with a spray or electronic diffuser to boost your concentration levels and, of course, smell delicious.
6
Furniture Lightly spray the inside of your drawers for a burst of freshness when you open them. Lavender and lemongrass is a winning combination that also deters moths. Own wooden furniture? Wipe it down with olive oil and a teaspoon of lemon essential oil to create the smell of an alpine forest.

a secret ingredient
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy – everyone has a favourite taste sensation, but did you know there’s yet another one to treat your tastebuds too? For years, top restaurants and chefs have kept ‘umami’ under wraps, but now you can experiment with the flavour at home, thanks to Dubai’s gourmet cafe, Jones the Grocer. Originating from Japan, umami lends a pleasant, savoury flavour that’s made up of glutamate, ribonucleotides, inosinate and guanylate (amino acid and substances found in meat, fish, vegetables and dairy). For cooks, it means an ultra-subtle flavour that mixes well with other ingredients. Use it as a condiment on crostini or on bruschetta, burgers and sandwiches. AED39, jonesthegrocer.com CaTer in:
