Frequently Asked Questions - Custom Wallpaper & Mural Installation in Dubai
Your Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know about custom wallpaper and mural installation across Dubai - from free home visits to design options, care tips, and more
How does wallpaper installation work in Dubai?
Our process begins with a free home visit and precise wall measurement, followed by surface preparation — cleaning, filling any cracks, and priming — before we hang and seam-roll each panel for a smooth, bubble-free finish. For homes in Dubai, our professional installers carefully handle tricky corners, sockets, and window edges so the result looks seamless. Everything is completed cleanly with a fast, efficient turnaround.
Is wallpaper better than paint for Dubai homes?
In Dubai's air-conditioned interiors, quality wallpaper adds texture, depth, and patterns that paint simply can't match, while resisting everyday scuffs and hiding minor wall imperfections. For a Business Bay apartment, we often recommend a wallpaper feature wall with painted surrounding walls for the best balance of style and practicality. Quality vinyl wallpaper also typically lasts far longer than paint, which generally needs repainting every few years.
What is the difference between a wall mural and wallpaper?
Standard wallpaper is a repeating pattern designed to cover one or more walls, while a wall mural Dubai homeowners love is a single large-scale image printed to your exact wall size to create one striking focal point. In a DAMAC Hills villa, a custom mural behind the sofa or bed instantly becomes the centerpiece of the room. We custom-print both options to fit your space perfectly.
Do you offer free home visits and design consultation?
Yes — we offer free home visits across Dubai, including design consultation, accurate wall measurements, and tailored recommendations before you commit to anything. For an Arabian Ranches villa, our team brings samples so you can see colours and textures in your own lighting. There's no obligation, and it helps us plan a flawless custom wallpaper Dubai solution for your space.
What wallpaper collections do you offer?
We stock a wide range, including our Kid's Collection, Natural Vibes Collection, Modern Collection, textured wallpaper collection and Boho Collection and Gaming Collection — spanning playful nursery themes, earthy botanicals, and clean contemporary designs. A JVC (Jumeirah Village Circle) family recently paired our Kid's Collection in a nursery with a Modern Collection feature wall in the living room. We can also fully customize any design to suit your interior.
Which areas in Dubai do you cover?
Based at Dragon Mart in International City, we serve residential communities right across Dubai — including Al Barsha, Dubai Marina, Business Bay, DAMAC Hills, Arabian Ranches, and JVC. Wherever you are, our installers travel to you for measurement and professional fitting. Get in touch and we'll arrange a visit to your neighbourhood.
What payment methods do you accept?
We keep payment simple and flexible — you can pay by Ziina, bank transfer, or cash on installation day, whichever is easiest for you. For a mural wallpaper Dubai project in a Dubai Marina apartment, many clients prefer Ziina, the Central Bank–licensed UAE payment app that lets you pay instantly with just a phone number. Just let us know your preference when you book.
How do I clean and maintain my wallpaper?
Most of our wallpapers are easy to care for — regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth keeps them fresh, and washable vinyl types can be gently wiped with a mild soapy solution (avoid harsh chemicals and heavy scrubbing). In an Arabian Ranches home, we also recommend keeping wallpaper out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colours. Cared for well, a wallpaper mural Dubai residents install can stay vibrant for many years.
How do I choose the right wallpaper design?
Start with the mood you want — calm and neutral, bold and dramatic, or playful — then factor in the room's size, lighting, and existing furniture; lighter patterns open up smaller rooms while a bold feature wall anchors larger spaces. For a JVC bedroom, we suggest ordering samples to view them in your own light before deciding. Our design consultants guide you through every step of the selection.
What makes a wallpaper store trustworthy and professional?
trustworthy wallpaper store offers free samples and site visits, gives clear no-pressure advice, prepares walls properly, and stands behind a clean, bubble-free installation. Serving Al Barsha and communities across Dubai from our Dragon Mart base, we handle everything in-house — from custom printing to professional fitting — so you deal with one accountable team. Genuine reviews and transparent communication are the best signs you're in good hands.
Does wallpaper last in Dubai's heat and humidity?
Yes, when the right material is chosen. Constant air conditioning creates temperature swings, and humidity rises whenever the AC is off, so we recommend non-woven or vinyl over self-adhesive, which loses its grip over time in this climate. We assess the room during the free home visit before recommending anything.
Will wallpaper damage my wall when it is removed?
Not when it has been installed properly. Non-woven wallpaper is designed to strip off cleanly, and priming the wall beforehand is what makes later removal straightforward. This matters most for rented apartments, where the wall needs to go back to how it was.
Is wallpaper safe for children's bedrooms?
Yes, when printed with low-VOC, phthalate-free inks on certified material. For kids' rooms we recommend vinyl or vinyl-coated wallpaper because it is wipeable and survives being touched, leaned on, and cleaned regularly.
Can I see samples before I order?
Yes. We bring material samples to your free home visit so you can see and feel the finish in your own light before deciding. Colours look different in a showroom than they do on your actual wall.
Do you install wallpaper in offices and commercial spaces?
Yes. We install in offices, retail units, clinics, and restaurants, using heavy-duty commercial-grade material suited to high-traffic walls. Installation can be scheduled outside business hours so your operations are not disrupted.
Do you have gaming or teenager-themed wallpaper designs?
Yes! We offer a dedicated Gaming Collection featuring bold designs like retro arcade themes, esports murals, football-gaming crossovers, and more — perfect for kids' and teens' bedrooms across Dubai. Browse our full Gaming Collection to find the perfect design for your child's room.
Do you offer plain, textured wallpaper designs?
"Yes! Our Textured Wallpaper collection offers pattern-free finishes in white, off-white, and shades of green - perfect for a clean, modern feature wall in any Dubai home or office. Browse our full Textured Wallpaper Collection to find the right shade for your space."
