Custom Carpet Project for an Apartment in City Walk Dubai

The team at Floor Land has completed the custom carpet project for an apartment in City Walk Dubai. We enjoyed this apartment renovation project from the very first visit. The client wanted the two bedrooms and the living room to feel warmer and softer, with a single carpet running through the home. The brief was clear: long pile, dark brown, and made to fit each room exactly. We took it from there.

During our first conversation, the client described the feeling they wanted before they mentioned any product. They wanted to come home, take off their shoes, and feel the whole apartment slow down. Dark brown was already their favorite, and they wanted a deep, plush texture rather than the low, flat carpet you’d expect in an office.

We liked the direction straight away. Dark brown had the richness to anchor the custom furniture, and a long pile would give the rooms the softness they were missing. Our job was to turn that idea into a carpet that fit this apartment precisely.

We visited the apartment, measured all three rooms, and brought samples. Seeing them on site mattered. Under the apartment’s daylight, some shades leaned reddish, while others turned almost black once the evening lights came on. We laid the options on the floor, moved them between rooms, and the client picked the one that stayed warm at every hour.

Next, we planned the layout. All three rooms would share the same custom carpet and pile direction, so the floor would look continuous from the living room into the bedrooms. We placed seams on the quieter sides of each room, well away from doorways and the main walking routes.

The living room became the project’s showpiece. With the sofa and coffee table back in place, the deep brown pile gives the room a relaxed, lounge-like character and pulls the furniture together as one setting. We chose a firm, high-density underlay here because the client spends most of the day here.

In the bedrooms, we wanted softness above everything else. The carpet runs wall to wall and reaches right around the beds and wardrobes, so there’s no cold floor to step onto in the morning. Both rooms feel quieter now too, with the carpet and underlay absorbing much of the sound of footsteps.

Installation began with the part nobody sees. We cleaned the subfloor, checked it for high spots, and confirmed that every door would still swing freely over the thicker finished floor.

We then cut each piece to our site measurements, keeping the pile running the same way throughout. This detail is easy to underestimate on a long-pile carpet. Turn one piece around, and it can look like a different shade beside its neighbor.

Our fitters fixed gripper rods around each room, laid the underlay and joined the seams, working the long fibers back over each join until it disappeared. A power stretcher pulled the carpet tight so it stays flat over time. We finished with neat edges along the skirting and metal threshold strips at the doorways, then groomed and vacuumed the pile before handover.

• Matching pile direction across all three rooms
• Seams kept out of sight and away from walking routes
• Door clearance checked before fitting
• Clean, tight edges along every skirting board
• A tidy apartment, ready to live in at handover

When we finished the last room, we walked through the apartment with the client. The difference was easy to feel: one continuous dark brown floor, soft underfoot from the living room to the bedrooms, with no visible break in color or texture. The apartment now looks richer, sounds quieter, and feels far more personal than it did before.

That walkthrough is always our favorite part of a job, and this one was no exception. Shoes came off almost immediately, which we took as the highest praise.
