Concrete Wallpaper in Dubai: The Industrial Look Without the Renovation

In all honesty, the raw and industrial style of concrete has something really great about it! You will have seen this type of look in trendy cafes, hip co-working spaces, or in one of the many gorgeous styled apartments you see on Instagram and said to yourself, “Want in my home!” Then you realize that concrete walls mean a lot of construction, tons of dust, weeks of disruption, and a huge bill that will likely make your wallet cry. Well, not with concrete wallpaper, which gives you the same bold urban appeal as if you actually built a concrete wall in your space without having to break any actual walls down or spend an arm and a leg! Plus, there's no construction involved. In Dubai, you have a much less expensive way of achieving this look with no construction required.

So, in this blog, we give you proper information about concrete wallpaper in Dubai. So stay tuned with this blog.

What Exactly Is Concrete Wallpaper?

Concrete wallpaper is a high-quality wall covering that imitates the appearance, depth, and colour of true exposed concrete. Concrete wallpapers are either printed to appear as concrete or have surface textures that resemble the natural variations, subtle imperfections and raw finish found on actual concrete walls.

Today's concrete wallpapers are available in many styles — from the smooth and polished finish of a brushed cement to the rough and distressed look of an industrial warehouse. Some concrete wallpapers even have a subtle 3D texture, creating an incredibly realistic appearance when viewed up close.

Why Is It So Popular in Dubai?

The interior design industry of Dubai has been influenced heavily by the advancement of the bold contemporary trends found throughout the country. In particular, the sudden rise in popularity of minimalist and industrial design aesthetics across all types of locations (apartments/villas, retail spaces, etc.) has created a demand for a new style that incorporates concrete into the overall design plan for these spaces.

Unfortunately, due to the number of tenants living in Dubai, there is no option for most tenants to create major alterations/renovations to their homes, which means that concrete wallpaper may be the best solution available. Because it is both easy to remove and does not require any destruction of surfaces being altered, concrete wallpaper can change a room completely without having to follow tenancy rules/procedures or waiting for landlord approval before performing renovation work.

Additionally, the pace of life in Dubai requires quick results and minimal interruption; hence, it is easy to see why so many people in Dubai have chosen concrete wallpaper as the design solution for their residences.

The Real Benefits of Choosing Concrete Wallpaper

• No Construction, No Mess: Say goodbye to dust, noise and weeks of waiting. Transform your space in one day with concrete wallpaper and avoid any construction chaos.
• Cost Effective Transformation: Traditional concrete wall finishes may cost significantly more per square metre when considering your labour charges, material costs and finishing required, but concrete wallpaper will give you a nearly identical look at a significantly lesser price.
• Versatile for Any Space: Use concrete wallpaper to create an attractive feature wall in your living room, create a sophisticated, moody ambiance in your bedroom, create a focused, professional workspace in your home office, and create a stylish look in your bathroom with the application of moisture resistant concrete wallpaper.
• Customizable to Fit Your Style: Wallpaper allows for much greater flexibility than real concrete. With real concrete, once you have it in place you can't really make any changes to it, whereas wallpaper will give you that flexibility; do you want a lighter shade of grey or a darker shade of black or do you want it to be smooth or textured? In general, when selecting a design, colour, material, etc., you can choose exactly what will work best for your space.
• Renter-Friendly & Reversible: One of the most favourable benefits of Dubai's rental market for both landlords and tenants alike is quality wallpaper as most of the time the tenant will be able to remove the wallpaper cleanly prior to their departure and leave the walls in good condition; thus protecting the tenant's deposit.

How to Style Concrete Wallpaper in Your Dubai Home

Concrete can easily match warm wood tones, black metal accents, exposed bulb lights, and greenery inside your home. Use it on just one accent wall for a balanced look or go full-on in an industrial-style room (again depending on how your existing furniture is arranged). Either way will work great!

Conclusion

No longer does the industrial design aesthetic only apply to those who are interested in doing a complete renovation. Concrete wallpaper will enable you to quickly and easily apply a rustic atmosphere to any area in Dubai — quickly, easily, and affordably. You can use an open-concept apartment, a workplace today, or a storefront tomorrow and get all the results immediately.

FAQs

Q1. Is concrete wallpaper really going to look like actual concrete, or will it look fake up close?

One of the biggest concerns, and of course a reasonable one too, is what kind of wall you will be putting up? The only real answer is that it all depends on the quality of what you are going to buy. A higher-end concrete wallpaper would have a more realistic texture, different colours, and very slight imperfections that will give it a true-to-life look, as though you were looking at a real piece of concrete. Some of those high-end wallpapers even have some 3D depth to them, which would provide for an even more realistic overall look. However, if you buy a low-end product, it may be flat and provide no real resemblance to actual concrete. Therefore, it is important to choose the right product here; do not skimp on this item.

Q2. I'm renting my apartment in Dubai. Can I even put up wallpaper without getting into trouble with my landlord?

Yes! In most cases you'll be able to do this! Unlike tearing down walls and/or putting a permanent concrete finish on the wall, most wallpaper is made to be removed from the surface of the wall without damaging the surface underneath. When the time comes for you to move out, if you have applied & removed good-quality removable wallpaper on your walls, your original wall surface will remain intact and you will not lose your security deposit and/or have a happy tenant, as long as you have used a correctly applied (by a professional)good-Quality removable wallpaper.

Q3. How long does it take to install concrete wallpaper? Will my home be a mess for days?

That is not at all true; in fact, that is one of the very best advantages of this type of work. Concrete walls can take many weeks to replace when the concrete must be removed, replaced, and painted, plus there is usually a lot of noise, dust, and inconvenience while the work is being done. However, with concrete wallpaper, it can be put up in just one day! You go to work in the morning and when you get home, you will find that your room has gone from looking very ordinary to looking completely different. No mess, no waiting, and no stress on you!

Q4. Is concrete wallpaper suitable for every room, including bathrooms and kitchens?

For most areas of a home—bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and accent walls—the answer is Yes. However, because bathrooms and kitchens have high humidity and/or steam levels, you should specifically search for materials that are rated as "moisture resistant" or "waterproof," which are readily available and work well. When selecting your wallpaper, always make sure to indicate the area that it will be going into so that you have the proper wallpaper for that area.
