This always comes up around November, and honestly in Dubai the problem is not the cold stuff, it is where to hide it for the other 10 months.
I tried keeping winter clothes in the top of the wardrobe, but in our flat that space got eaten by suitcases, extra bedding, and random baby items. Vacuum bags helped a bit, but they are annoying if you actually travel during winter and need to pull things out again. Under-bed boxes were fine for sweaters and jackets, not so great for boots because of dust and the smell if they are not fully dry.
What worked best for me was splitting it by use:* one small box at home for one trip's worth of warm clothes* the bulky coats, boots, and spare duvets outside the flat* clear labels, otherwise you forget what is where
For overflow I used https://storagedubai.top/ because our apartment storage was basically nonexistent. Not cheap, but cheaper than living with clutter everywhere.
Also, if someone is new to Dubai and figuring out apartment sizes, building rules, or moving basics, https://www.dubai.ae/ is worth checking. I found that more useful than asking five different people and getting five different answers.
My view, if you have a villa, store at home. If you are in a smaller apartment, pay for space and keep the flat livable.
