Renting in Dubai? Yes, You Can Have Wallpaper — Here's How

Renters in Dubai skip wallpaper for one reason: the fear that whatever they put up will come back to bite them at move-out. Two years of thinking a wall is yours, then a landlord's inspection, then a deducted deposit for "damage to painted surface." So the wall stays magnolia. The apartment never quite feels like theirs.

We have built a service specifically to solve this.

How the removal service works

When you move out, our installation team — the same team that put the mural up — comes back to remove it. We take the wallpaper down cleanly, in full sheets, using the strippable paste-the-wall system that was designed for exactly this. Then we touch up the wall so it hands back smooth, matte, and matched to the original.

The result: the deposit is safe, the landlord's inspection passes, and you had two years of a wall you actually loved.

What it costs

  • AED 349 per feature wall — removal + wall restoration + disposal, one flat fee.
  • Free if you're moving to a new home with us. Order a new mural for your next place and the removal is on us. We move with you.

What's included

  • Professional removal by our own installation team (not a subcontractor)
  • Wall preparation and light touch-up so the surface is handover-ready
  • Disposal of all wallpaper material
  • A pre-inspection photo you can share with your landlord

When to book

Ideally, one week before your move-out date. That gives us time to schedule the removal, prep the wall, and let anything we touch up dry properly before your landlord walks through.

The technical bit

All La Belle Maison wallpapers are printed on non-woven vinyl with paste-the-wall adhesive. This is the format used in high-end European interiors precisely because it removes in full strips without damaging the underlying surface — no soaking, no scraping, no gouging. It's a completely different beast to old-school paste-the-paper wallpaper, which is what most people picture when they hear the word.

The bigger picture

The average tenant in Dubai stays in a rented apartment for two to four years. That's a long time to live inside beige. We think you should be able to bring an entire wall to life for that period without any lingering worry about the day you hand back the keys.
