The Story of Ari & Alki

Ari & Alki began with two little girls — Ariadne and Alkioni, born in Dubai — and a mother who has always loved gardening, beautiful interiors, and the simple pleasure of creating a home that feels warm and personal.

Their mother has always believed that a home should be more than a place to live. She wanted it to feel like a sanctuary, where nature connects with the art of living; a place filled with character, greenery, texture and objects that tell a story.

Living in Dubai, surrounded by striking skyscrapers, modern architecture and the fast rhythm of city life, inspired her to create something different inside the home. She wanted home to feel like a little escape.

A place that carries the relaxed feeling of a countryside holiday. A home with weathered woods, botanical details, aged finishes, beautiful ceramics, garden-inspired pieces and objects that feel as though they have been collected slowly over time.

She was especially drawn to the warmth of rustic farmhouse interiors, French country homes, European gardens and timeless heritage pieces — spaces that feel elegant without being formal and beautiful without feeling perfect.

This love of home, garden and slower living eventually became Ari & Alki Rustic Home & Garden, named after her daughters.

Inspired by Home, Nature & the Art of Living

At Ari & Alki, we believe the most beautiful homes are not simply decorated — they are lived in.

They are filled with flowers gathered from the garden, herbs growing by the kitchen window, candles glowing over dinner, treasured objects displayed on a console and pieces that become more beautiful as they become part of everyday life.

Our collections are chosen to help bring that feeling into your own home.

Bringing the Feeling of a Holiday Home Into Everyday Life

For us, luxury is not only about polished interiors or expensive objects.

It is opening the door and feeling immediately at ease. It is fresh flowers on the table. Morning light falling across an old-style vase. A quiet corner surrounded by plants. Dinner enjoyed slowly with family. And a garden that feels a little wild and a home filled with things you genuinely love.

Ari & Alki was created around the idea that your everyday home can carry the feeling of somewhere you would love to escape to. Even in the middle of a busy city.

Our hope is to help you create spaces that feel warmer, calmer and more connected to nature — homes with personality rather than perfection.

And perhaps, when you walk through your own front door, it will feel just a little like coming home to a holiday.

Ari & Alki Rustic Home & Garden
Timeless pieces for a home connected to nature, beauty and the art of living.

Most home decor in Dubai comes from the same big showrooms, and it shows. Walk into ten apartments and you meet the same shelf, the same vase, the same lamp. Ari & Alki exists for people who want a home that does not look ordered from a catalogue.

What we stock

We buy in small quantities, and we buy for character: plant pots and planters in terracotta and glazed ceramic, console and side tables in solid wood and iron, vases, candle holders and lanterns, and garden accents. Many pieces exist in one or two units. When something sells out, the next arrival is a different piece, not a restock of the same mould.

The style

Rustic, vintage, farmhouse, French country. Aged finishes over gloss. Materials that patina instead of peeling. If your taste runs to weathered wood and antique copper rather than chrome, you are in the right shop. Browse the Vintage Farmhouse and Classic Heritage collections to see the two ends of it.

Delivery in Dubai and across the UAE

Delivery is free on every order, everywhere in the UAE. Each product page lists exact dimensions and materials, so what arrives is what you measured for.
