Professional Wallpaper Installation and Wall Covering Services in Qatar
Introduction: Walls That Talk
Your walls are the biggest canvas in your home. For a long time, people in Qatar just painted them white or beige. It was clean, but it was a little boring. Paint is flat. It doesn’t have texture. It doesn’t have personality.
In 2026, walls are waking up. Homeowners and office managers are realizing that Wallpaper is the fastest way to completely change the mood of a room. You can turn a plain bedroom into a luxury hotel suite. You can turn a dull office reception into an exciting brand statement.
But wallpaper is not like a sticker. You cannot just peel it and slap it on the wall. If you have ever tried to do it yourself, you know the struggle: bubbles that won’t go away, patterns that don’t line up, and edges that peel off after a week.
At Al Abadela Furniture, we are masters of Wallpaper Installation. We treat it like art. We ensure every strip is straight, every seam is invisible, and every corner is sharp. Whether you bought a roll of expensive Italian velvet wallpaper or a durable vinyl for the hallway, we have the skills to install it perfectly.
Why Choose Wallpaper Over Paint?
Paint is standard. Wallpaper is special. Here is why more people in Doha are making the switch.
1. Hiding Imperfections Walls in Qatar are usually made of concrete and plaster. Over time, they get small hairline cracks or uneven bumps. Paint often highlights these problems. Good quality wallpaper covers them up. It creates a smooth, perfect surface that hides the flaws underneath.
2. Durability This might surprise you, but high-quality vinyl wallpaper lasts longer than paint. Paint chips and gets dirty marks that are hard to scrub off. Modern wallpaper is tough. It can last 10 to 15 years. If it gets dirty, you can wash it. It resists scratches better than a painted wall.
3. Visual Depth and Texture Paint is 2D. Wallpaper is 3D. Even flat wallpaper creates an illusion of depth. But we also install textured wallpapers—fabrics, embossing, and metallics—that actually feel different when you touch them. This adds a layer of richness to the room that paint simply cannot achieve.
4. Instant “Wow” Factor To make a painted wall look exciting, you need to hang expensive art on it. With a beautiful wallpaper, the wall is the art. It fills the room with design immediately.
Types of Wallpaper We Install
Not all wallpaper is the same. The material matters, especially in the Qatar climate.
1. Vinyl Wallpaper (The Qatar Champion)
This is the most popular choice for a reason.
What is it? It has a paper or fiber backing with a plastic (vinyl) coating on top.
Why is it good? It is waterproof. In Qatar, where AC units can sometimes leak or humidity can fluctuate, vinyl is safe. It is also washable. If your kids draw on it with crayons, you can wipe it clean.
Best for: Hallways, Living Rooms, Kitchens, and Bathrooms.
2. Non-Woven Wallpaper
This is a modern favorite. It is made from a mix of natural and synthetic fibers.
Why is it good? It allows the wall to “breathe.” This prevents mold from growing behind the paper. It is also easier to remove later if you want to change the design.
Best for: Bedrooms and Living areas.
3. Fabric / Textile Wallpaper
This is pure luxury. It is made of real cloth like silk, linen, or velvet laminated onto a backing.
The Look: It looks expensive and feels soft. It absorbs sound, making the room quieter.
The Catch: It is delicate. You cannot scrub it. It needs a very skilled installer (like us) because glue stains can ruin the fabric.
Best for: Master Bedrooms and Formal Majlis.
4. 3D and Mural Wallpapers
These are huge pictures that cover a whole wall. It could be a view of a forest, a city skyline, or a geometric 3D shape that looks like it is popping out of the wall.
Best for: Feature walls in living rooms or kids’ rooms.
The Installation Process: Precision is Key
Many people think wallpaper installation is just “paste and stick.” It is actually 80% preparation and 20% installation. If the wall isn’t ready, the paper will fail.
Here is the Al Abadela Furniture standard procedure:
Step 1: Wall Preparation (The Most Important Step) We never wallpaper directly over old, dirty paint or rough cement.
Removal: If there is old wallpaper, we steam it and scrape it off completely.
Smoothing: We check for holes and cracks. We fill them with putty and sand the wall until it is smooth like glass. Any bump on the wall will show through the paper.
Cleaning: We wash the wall to remove dust and grease. Glue doesn’t stick to dust.
Step 2: Priming We paint the wall with a special Wallpaper Primer.
It seals the wall so the glue doesn’t soak into the plaster too fast.
It creates a surface that the wallpaper can grip onto.
It makes it easier to slide the paper into position to match the pattern.
Step 3: Measuring and Planning We don’t just start in the corner. We look at the pattern.
If the focal point is the center of the wall, we start there and work outwards. This ensures the pattern is symmetrical. We use laser levels to draw a perfectly straight vertical line (plumb line). Walls in houses are never 100% straight, so we cannot rely on the corner of the room.
Step 4: Pasting
Paste-the-Paper: For traditional papers, we apply glue to the back of the paper and let it “book” (soak) for a few minutes to expand.
Paste-the-Wall: For non-woven papers, we roll the glue directly onto the wall. This is cleaner and faster.
We use high-strength, mold-resistant adhesive suitable for the Qatar climate.
Step 5: Hanging and Matching We hang the first strip using our laser line. Then comes the tricky part: Pattern Matching.
We slide the next strip up until the flowers or shapes line up perfectly with the first strip.
We use a smoothing tool to push out all the air bubbles. We work from the center out to the edges.
Step 6: Seaming and Trimming
We use a seam roller to press the edges down tight. The goal is to make the seam invisible.
We use a razor-sharp knife to trim the excess paper at the ceiling and the floor for a crisp, clean line.
Common Wallpaper Problems (And How We Avoid Them)
Why hire a professional? Because things can go wrong easily.
Bubbles: This happens if the wall wasn’t primed or the smoothing was rushed. We ensure smooth application every time.
Peeling Edges: This usually means not enough glue was on the edge. We double-check every seam.
Pattern Drift: If the first strip is even 2mm crooked, by the time you reach the end of the wall, the pattern will be crooked by 10cm. Our laser levels prevent this.
Shine on Seams: If you rub a seam too hard on dark wallpaper, it gets shiny. We use special soft rollers to protect the finish.
Wallpaper Trends for 2026
If you are looking for inspiration, here is what is trending in Doha right now.
1. Biophilic Design (Nature) Bringing the outdoors in. Big leafy patterns, palm trees, and floral designs are huge. Green is the color of the year. It makes the AC-cooled room feel like a tropical garden.
2. Texture Over Color People want neutral colors (cream, grey, taupe) but with heavy texture. Wallpapers that look like woven grasscloth, stone, or rough linen. It is subtle but expensive-looking.
3. Geometric Metals Designs with thin gold or silver lines running through them. When the light hits the wall, it sparkles slightly. This is very popular for luxury Majlis designs.
4. The “Feature Wall” is Evolving Instead of just one wall, people are now papering all four walls with subtle textures, or doing the ceiling! A wallpapered ceiling adds a surprising touch of drama.
Commercial Wallpaper Services
Offices, hotels, and restaurants need different solutions.
Hotels: We install Type II Vinyl. This is extra-thick, fire-rated commercial wallpaper. It can withstand suitcases banging against it in corridors.
Offices: We often install “Whiteboard Wallpaper” in meeting rooms. You can write on the whole wall with a marker and wipe it off!
Restaurants: We use heavy-duty washable papers that can handle food splashes and frequent cleaning.
Removing Old Wallpaper
Do you have ugly wallpaper from 10 years ago? Don’t paint over it! That looks terrible and will peel later.
Al Abadela Furniture offers Wallpaper Removal Services.
We perforate the old paper.
We apply a special enzyme solution to dissolve the old glue.
We scrape it off carefully without damaging the plaster wall underneath.
We wash the wall so it is ready for fresh paint or new paper.
Maintenance: Taking Care of Your Walls
Vinyl: Wipe with a damp sponge and mild soapy water. Rinse with clean water. Do not use bleach or abrasive scrubbers.
Fabric: Vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. If there is a stain, blot it (do not rub) with a dry cloth immediately.
Corners: Be careful with vacuum cleaners hitting the corners. If a corner starts to lift, call us. We can glue it back down easily. Don’t pull it!
Room-by-Room Guide
The Powder Room (Guest Bathroom) This is the best place to be bold. It is a small room, so you can use a crazy, colorful, expensive pattern without spending too much money. It impresses guests immediately.
The Bedroom Choose calm colors. Blues, greys, and soft greens. Avoid busy, high-energy patterns behind the TV. Put the pattern behind the bedhead as a feature.
The Kitchen Yes, you can wallpaper a kitchen! But keep it away from the stove (splash zone). Use a high-quality vinyl that can be wiped down. It adds warmth to a room that is usually full of cold tiles and metal.
Why Al Abadela Furniture is Your Best Choice
Experience: We know the walls of Qatar. We know how gypsum partitions behave differently from concrete blocks. We adjust our glue and preparation accordingly.
Cleanliness: Wallpaper installation can be messy with glue. We cover your floors and furniture. We leave your house cleaner than we found it.
Speed: We work efficiently. We can transform a room in a single day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How many rolls do I need? A: This is tricky. It depends on the “pattern repeat.” If the pattern repeats every 60cm, there is a lot of waste to match it up. We measure your wall and calculate the exact amount including the waste factor.
Q: Can you wallpaper over tiles? A: Not directly. The grout lines will show through. However, we can coat the tiles with a special smoothing compound to make them flat, and then we can wallpaper over them. It is cheaper than removing the tiles.
Q: How long does it take to dry? A: The glue needs about 24 to 48 hours to dry completely. We recommend keeping the AC at a moderate temperature (not too cold, not too hot) to help it dry evenly.
Q: Can you install wallpaper I bought online? A: Yes! We are happy to install paper you bought yourself. However, we will check the quality first to make sure it is suitable for your walls.
Q: What if I damage a piece later? A: We always advise keeping one spare roll or the leftover scraps. If a piece gets torn, we can cut out the damaged section and patch it in. If done well, the patch is almost invisible.

Wallpaper is the design element that separates a “house” from a “designed home.” It adds warmth, character, and luxury that paint just can’t match.
