What makes the price of a mural vary?

Five things: the surface in square metres, the level of detail in the subject, indoors or outdoors, the condition of the wall and the height. A botanical motif on a sound wall is painted quickly; a perspective trompe l’oeil takes days more. A cracked or damp surface needs preparation, priced separately. Above three metres, scaffolding is added. Everything is itemised in the quote, free and sent within 48 hours.

Does the price per square metre drop on a large surface?

On a large facade the rate per square metre is looked at case by case: preparation and set-up time is spread over more surface, which works in your favour. Above fifty square metres Giulia prices the real surface rather than applying the list as it stands. Send the measurements and a photo: the quote arrives within 48 hours and is free.

Is there a minimum order?

Every project is welcome, from a small bedroom wall to a large facade.

A wall one metre by two with a simple motif comes to around 300 €. Send a photo and the size, even approximate, for a free quote within 48 hours.

Can a mural be done on a small budget?

You can also start with part of the wall, a painted headboard, a door surround, or a movable panel you take with you when you move. Giulia offers two free sketches to settle the idea before any commitment.

How much does a painted ceiling cost?

A ceiling is priced at 350 € per m², the level of trompe l’oeil and large compositions: the work is done overhead and the perspective needs precise setting out.

Correggio painted the vault of a whole room in Parma between February and September 1519; the principle is the same, the room opens upward.

How much does a mural in a hallway cost?

Is the quote free?

The quote itemises the surface, the level of detail chosen, the technique, the timing and the possible dates. It comes with a first proposal drawn onto the photo of your own wall, to scale. The first two sketches are free and revisions are included.

How long does the quote take?

Within 48 hours. If there is a delay, Giulia gives plenty of notice. The quote arrives with a first proposal drawn onto the photo of your wall, to scale, and itemises surface, level of detail, technique and timing. You confirm when you are ready: the first two sketches are free and revisions are included.

Are sketches charged for?

The first two sketches are free, for walls as for canvases and drawings on paper. You receive a drawing set on the photo of your own wall, to scale, with the itemised quote. A sketch takes Giulia around two hours, sometimes a little more. Revisions are included after that. When a sketch is set aside and redone entirely from scratch, it becomes a new project.

Does the price include paint and materials?

Yes. Giulia’s paints, brushes and equipment are included in the rate per square metre. Indoors she works in odourless acrylic, outdoors in quartz paint, made for exposed walls. A deposit of around 100 € is asked at the start for materials and colours, with the balance settled at the end, together. Only scaffolding and special varnishes appear as separate lines.

Is a deposit required?

A deposit of around 100 € covers the materials and colours bought for your project. The balance is settled at the end of the work, together, once the mural is finished and approved with you.

How do you pay for a mural?

A deposit of around 100 € at the start for materials and colours, then the balance at the end, together, once the mural is finished and approved with you. The first two sketches are free, revisions are included, and the quote stays free. When the project is far away, an advance on travel is sometimes asked. Everything is set out in the quote sent within 48 hours.

Are revisions charged for?

Revisions are included in the price. Giulia’s method is to show the work in progress so it can be adjusted together during the project rather than at the end. She is precise from the outset about what she will do, then makes small refining touches until the result matches what was imagined. When a sketch is set aside and redone from scratch, it is a new project.

What happens if I cancel?

Materials already bought are reimbursed, along with the sketch made and the time held in the calendar, during which Giulia turns down other projects to keep the slot for you. That is the counterpart of a date blocked out. The rest of the deposit comes back to you. Everything is written into the quote before you confirm, and you confirm when you are ready.

Is scaffolding included in the price?

Scaffolding is priced separately where the height calls for it, generally above three metres. It appears as a separate line in the quote, with the hire period allowed for. Below three metres a ladder or a step-ladder is enough, and Giulia brings them. For a building gable or a tall facade, she sets out the most economical option given the access.

Are travel costs included?

Travel and logistics are agreed together, and everything is priced in the quote sent within 48 hours. Giulia works regularly in France and Italy, and travels across Europe to paint: sixteen countries and more than two hundred cities. She comes to see the wall, or works first from photographs and measurements when that is simpler for you.

What does a graffiti artist charge for a mural on a wall?

Published rates among graffiti artists run from roughly 70 to over 200 € per m² depending on the artist and the complexity. A graffiti artist works with spray cans, with a fast gesture and a graphic finish. A brush-painted mural is built layer by layer: it allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil, and takes more hours. That time is what the 150 to 350 € per m² rate reflects.

What is the price per square foot for a mural?

What does a painter and decorator charge?

A painter and decorator prices a flat surface, often 25 to 45 € per m². A mural is a different craft: it is a painting made directly on the wall, drawn for that wall, and the 150 to 350 € per m² rate covers the time of drawing and painting, rather than the covering of a surface.

Does a mural cost more than a panoramic wallpaper?

A high-end panoramic is often installed at between 100 and 250 € per m², fitting included. A mural at 150 € per m² sits in the same band, with two differences: the drawing is made for your wall and its exact size, and the image runs continuously from edge to edge. It can be painted over later like any wall paint if you change your mind.

Does a mural cost more than a wall sticker?

A sticker costs a few tens of euros and peels off. A hand-painted mural starts at 150 € per m², becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. The two answer different needs; a mural is a unique work made to tell your story.
