My husband works as an architect/designer and uses Muraspec on quite a few projects. Pricey, but great quality and you will have a good selection. Maybe contact this company and see how much they charge ... I have no idea of their rates, but pretty sure they will be quite reasonable. If you check out their FB page you will see they have used a lot of wallpapers on their projects. https://www.facebook.com/#!/ElementoInteriorDecorationDesignServices

@ myriam polel - did you manage to find any wallpaper? Just remembered that neighbour's brother in law works for a wallcovering specialist firm (looks pretty high-end from the website). They're based in Al Quoz somewhere. www.muraspec.com Contact Jonathan Kidd. [email protected] +971 50 6448525 Hope this helps.

sounds a reasonable fee...I wouldn't bother getting advice in store, the level of product knowledge amongst most shop assistants in Dubai is not high, they'll just be trying to sell you what they can not guide you to the most suitable

Ok, don't know really the pricing but I think that sounds quite fair... (usually they charge a lot!) - also she should have contacts for execution.

No she will bring the wall paper at my place and sample of painting color. After i have decided then she will maybe show me in 3D the final aspect i guess shes using a logiciel. For the execution i have to pay somebody else ? what do you thing.,

Why interior designers should work for free? Haven’t used one but I think they might have some minimum charge for their services… I think it’s just better to head to ACE etc and choose what you like!

1500 AED to assist you in choose wall paper and paint - that's ridiculous. Or does that include it being done as well? <em>edited by angelinaballerina on 16/04/2012</em>
