Mural price
How it works
Four steps, no commitment before the quote.
Send me a photo of the wall
A photo and rough measurements are enough. Tell me the city, the type of space, and whether the wall is indoors or outdoors.
Receive a sketch and a quote
I send you a digital sketch over the photo of your wall, with a detailed quote. Free of charge.
I paint the wall
From €150 per m² for a simple motif, more for very detailed work. We set the date together.
Practical questions before commissioning a mural
The questions that come up most often.
Can I see the design before deciding?
Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the project as an image on your own wall, with the detailed price. Several sketches are proposed to you before the project is confirmed.
What type of mural works well in Barcelona?
In period apartments in the Eixample or boutiques on Passeig de Gràcia, a lush botanical motif or decorative lines inspired by Catalan modernism fit well with the district's architecture. Everything is hand-painted with acrylic colours, no wallpaper or printing involved.
Will it damage the wall?
No damage at all. Acrylic paint adheres to an already painted or plastered wall, with no stripping or heavy primer needed. And if you change your mind in ten years, a coat of paint is enough to cover it.
Barcelona, between the Eixample and modernism
Here, a mural works when it plays off the decorative richness of the district's architecture.
Apartments
Living rooms, bedrooms, entrances in period apartments in the Eixample, with their high ceilings and original decor. Example: a 10 m² living room wall in a detailed subject, around €2,500.
Hotels and boutiques
Hotels and boutiques along Passeig de Gràcia, the grand boulevard of Catalan modernism. Example: a 15 m² boutique wall in a detailed subject, around €3,750.
Facades and exterior walls
An exterior wall visible from the street generally needs the owner's or building association's agreement. From €150 per m², plus scaffolding if needed.
A mural for this place
The Eixample, laid out in the mid-19th century by engineer Ildefons Cerdà, is recognisable by its ordered grid of blocks with chamfered corners, designed to let more light and air into the streets. The district is home to Passeig de Gràcia, the grand boulevard of Catalan modernism lined with Antoni Gaudí's Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, alongside the city's luxury boutiques. Requests come from period apartments, hotels and boutiques looking for a distinctive feature that plays off this decorative heritage. Giulia travels easily to paint: she comes to see the wall in person, or works first from photos and measurements.

Frequently asked questions about murals in Barcelona
Can I see the design before deciding?
Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the project as an image on your own wall, with the detailed price. Several sketches are proposed to you before the project is confirmed.
How much does a mural cost in Barcelona?
The rate is per square metre: €150 for a simple motif, €250 for a detailed subject, €350 for a trompe l'oeil or ceiling. The quote is free.
How long does the work take?
The timeline depends on the project: we discuss it together based on the wall and the subject. As a general guide, a simple motif takes less time than a very detailed subject or a large surface.
Does a mural hold up outdoors in Barcelona?
Yes, with surface preparation suited to the Mediterranean climate. The best period for an exterior mural runs from spring to autumn.
Do I need permission to paint a facade?
For an interior wall, no. For a facade visible from the street, you generally need the owner's or building association's agreement, and a notice to the municipality if the building sits in a protected zone: many buildings in the Eixample are protected. Giulia explains the process before starting.
Can a mural be changed or removed later?
Yes. A mural painted in acrylic can be painted over like any regular wall paint. It can also be reworked or extended later on.
