Stores open and close throughout the year. Each count is a snapshot as of 2026, not live, so directionally accurate, not exact. Larger chains carry the widest margin.
Inclusion follows home furnishing classification, not shelf contents. Home Centre, Royal Furniture, Pan Home and Danube Home are home furnishing chains covering furniture, decor and household goods, while IKEA is a Swedish home assembly retailer with showrooms in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Fujairah.
