Murals for children’s rooms

In children’s rooms, Giulia Dal Bon paints murals with a brush: above the bed, as a headboard, across a whole wall, up to the ceiling. Trained at the Brera Academy, she works in odourless acrylic, and the child sleeps in the room the same evening. From 150 € per sqm. Free quote within 48 hours, two sketches included: you approve the design before Giulia paints.

For more intimate rooms

A painting shaped for the room

In a bedroom or a child’s room, a mural can grow from a story, a colour, a light, or a feeling that is still open. Its role is to make the room feel more alive, softer, and more personal.

For a child, watching Giulia paint their bedroom is a show: they watch her work, ask their questions, and show their wall to everyone.

Giulia travels to paint on site, in France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and across the rest of Europe. The acrylic is odourless, so the bedroom stays usable during the work and the same night. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48h.

Subjects, surfaces and technique

A child’s room needs odourless paint and a design that can change later. Here are the surfaces, the technique, and what changes the quote.

What Giulia brings to a child’s bedroom. Giulia is a painter, trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries and also paints on walls. Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have written about her work, and her mural of over twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.

Subjects and surfaces

Headboard wall, full wall, ceiling, sloped ceiling, door and wardrobe. Landscape, botanical motif, animals, sky, characters, or a hand-painted name and lettering.

Technique

The acrylic is odourless, so the room stays usable during the work and the child can sleep there the same night. The mural can be painted over later like ordinary wall paint as the child grows, or extended instead. As a finish Giulia applies a protective varnish: the mural lasts a lifetime, and the wall wipes clean with a damp sponge, including at hand height.

What changes the quote

The surface to paint, how detailed the design is, indoors or outdoors, the state of the wall before preparation, the height and any scaffolding. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48h.

The bedroom within the house

A bedroom is part of a whole: the neighbouring pages cover the rest of the home.

Your questions, before commissioning

A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.

Giulia also paints the walls of the places that welcome children all day: see nursery murals and school murals.

I’d like a mural or a painting in my child’s bedroom, who should I contact?

Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals in children’s and babies’ rooms, in odourless acrylic: the room stays usable while she works, and travels across Europe. Send her a photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and your idea, however loose: she replies within 48 hours with a quote and a first proposal. The first two sketches are free.

How do I get a mural painted in my child’s bedroom?

Write to Giulia Dal Bon on WhatsApp or by email, even if the idea is still vague: she replies within 48 hours. Send her a photo of the wall to be painted, she draws a sketch straight onto your photo, you tell her what you think, and the first two sketches are free. Once the sketch is approved, she sends you the quote, from 150 € per sqm, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural in the bedroom, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.

Can the bedroom still be used while the mural is painted?

The bedroom stays usable: Giulia paints indoors with odourless acrylics, and people take the time to watch while she works. Thanks to the varnish applied as a finish, the wall can then be wiped with a damp sponge and the paint stays intact.

How much does a 15 sqm mural cost in a child’s bedroom?

For 15 sqm in a child’s bedroom, allow about 2,250 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, and 3,750 € for a fully painted subject, paint, materials and varnish included. The first two sketches are free, and she adjusts them with you. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours.

What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and spray-painted graffiti?

They are two different crafts. A graffiti artist works with spray cans, with a fast gesture and a graphic finish. A brush-painted mural is built layer by layer, which allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil: it is a painting made directly on the wall. Indoors, Giulia uses odourless acrylic. And while she paints, people take the time to watch: a brush at work is a show in itself.

What do you call an artist who paints on walls?

A mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist or a decorative painter, and the art itself is called mural painting or wall art. Some come from graffiti and work with spray cans; Giulia Dal Bon comes from painting: trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she exhibits her paintings in art galleries and paints commissioned murals with a brush. To have one painted, send her a photo of your wall: free quote within 48 hours.

How long does a mural last?

An acrylic mural by Giulia Dal Bon lasts a lifetime indoors: the paint becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. Outdoors, quartz paint is made for facades, and an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish extends it further. And if one day you want a change, it can be painted over like any wall paint.

What to paint above the bed, on the headboard wall?

It is the most requested wall in the bedroom: you see it as you walk in, it is rarely cluttered, and it holds the room. A flowering branch running the width of the bed, a pale sky, a beloved city in silhouettes, a couple or a family drawn in line. Giulia fits the composition to the width of the bed and the height of the ceiling, on the photo of your bedroom, and shows you two free sketches. From 150 € per sqm for a line drawing, even with figures.

What size for a mural above a 160 cm bed?

Most often the width of the bed plus a margin on each side, about two metres by one to one and a half metres high, between the headboard and the ceiling. On a 2.5 m wall that makes two to three square metres: from 300 to 450 € for a line drawing, from 500 to 750 € for a fully painted subject. Giulia shows you the scale on your photo before starting.
