Floor carpet - need urgent help

Morning all,

I'm new to Doha and currently stuck with a problem. I have ordered furniture for my daughter's room and now need to urgently find a shop that sells and fits 'floor carpets'.

Would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction and, if possible, advise how much it may cost to get one room carpeted (approx. 15 feet x 15 feet).

Many thanks.

Why not try both.. plastic as basic sheet so that I can be easily clean and carpet as cushion where in you can place beside the bed of your daughter and in front of the door which serve as a mantle :)

If you are going for carpets better go for the ones which are flat. Carpet Centre is a good place to choose.

Many thanks MK.

The reason i'm keen on a carpet is to get some cushioning against the hard floor. do the plastic sheets (you mentioned) provide some sort of cushioning as well?

Thanks.

I Wud agree with MM option to go for Plastic Sheets 100QR/mt and also lesser prices with thickness Variations available at najma market very Hygenic and can be liquid Cleaned and using carpets Dust forms causing dust allergy

Try shops near the Qatar Palace Hotel. The road going towards Arab Bank Roundabout. There are lots of shops over there for Carpets & Curtains.

Also try the Carpet Center in Mansoura.

You can give them measurements or They will first come to your place take the measurements and then they will come and install the carpets.

Since you have only one room they will be able to install it in max one hour.

@Radius never by used ones since it will cause health problems for you and your family!!

It purely depends on your budget. I have seen carpets of 100 thousands as well. Persian and Turkey hand made are very costly. My friend makes carpets in Turkey, just to finish one it takes her a year+ and it was 175,000 USD.

Visit any carpet shop and you will get a good idea. Good Luck.
