Intro
In high-end interior design, joinery work is rarely noticed — yet it’s everywhere.
It frames the experience, supports the design, and defines execution.
But what is joinery, really? And why does it matter so much?
What Is Joinery in Interior Design?
Joinery refers to the crafted elements of interior spaces that are custom-built to fit the architecture — including doors, wardrobes, wall cladding, and fitted furniture.
While carpentry often deals with structural or frame elements, joinery work focuses on precision, finish, and seamless integration. This distinction between carpentry and joinery is key in luxury interiors.
Good joinery disappears into the space. Great joinery holds it together.
Joinery in Villas, Hotels, and Yachts
In a villa, joinery means custom wardrobes, walk-in closets that adapt to sloped ceilings, or concealed storage within stone-lined niches.
Further in turnkey villa projects, joinery becomes a defining layer — especially when delivery guarantees and timelines leave no room for rework.
In a yacht, it includes millimetric joinery fit-outs: curved panels, flush cabinetry, and integrated systems designed for movement and vibration.
In hospitality, joinery defines guest experience — from headboard panels to minibar units — all coordinated within the interior fit-out logic.

• Turnkey Villas Interiors – bespoke interiors designed with discretion and long-term value.
• Superyachts & Refits – marine interiors crafted with precision and class compliance.
• Hospitality & Resorts – operational spaces that balance design intent and guest experience.
The Method Behind the Detail
True joinery is part of what we call architectural joinery — not simply a finish, but a phase in the construction logic.
For projects in Dubai and the Gulf, where tolerances and timelines are critical, this approach to joinery fit-out is essential.
True joinery starts with coordinated drawings, tolerance management, and a clear sequence between trades.
At Interni, we don't improvise. Every element is integrated into the architectural rhythm, respecting site constraints and design intent.
This is why joinery is not about “furniture” — it’s about execution logic.
A Legacy That Started in the Workshop
Interni comes from over 50 years of experience, rooted in the world of Bolici — a company born in a carpentry workshop in Italy.
That legacy shapes how we think, manage, and deliver interiors today.
Even when wood is invisible, it defines the depth and quality of the space.
We don’t decorate. We build.
Why Coordination Matters
We don’t only produce joinery in-house.
Joinery is closely linked with FF&E. In our Dubai projects, FF&E procurement and joinery fit-out often overlap — and require the same level of coordination and timing.
As lead interior contractors, we supervise the joinery fit-out from drawings to installation, ensuring consistency across all elements.
This way, we guarantee that what’s built elsewhere performs here — with the same precision and responsibility.

Joinery is just one part of a larger system.
At Interni, we treat it with the same discipline we apply to all aspects of interior contracting — method, control, and delivery.
