Murals in Boulogne-Billancourt
Boulogne-Billancourt is a city of the 1930s: buildings with straight lines, artists’ studio windows, wide bays and smooth walls that call for colour. Giulia Dal Bon paints a living-room wall, a ceiling, the reception of an office or the window of a shop in the centre, matching the painting to the light that comes through those tall windows.
The church of Notre-Dame, whose first stone was laid in 1319, keeps the memory of a decorating campaign: from 1872 to 1879, under the architect Juste Lisch, the interior was reworked, the painter-decorator Charles Lameire painted the choir and Émile Hirsch made the stained glass.
Fifty years later the town changed character: the town hall designed by Tony Garnier was completed in 1934, and the architects of the 1930s multiplied artists’ studios. Giulia Dal Bon paints in both Boulogne-Billancourts: the older rooms and the large, bright volumes.
Boulogne-Billancourt has two faces. The Princes district and Parchamp-Albert-Kahn line up architects' villas, with wide windows and white walls: Giulia Dal Bon works on a single stretch of wall there, and the painting stops where the light changes. The centre, around the town hall, has plainer apartment buildings, where the far wall of the living room, the one you see from the entrance, makes the best surface. Towards the Trapèze and the Rives de Seine, former workshops turned into flats rise above three metres, and a subject painted from floor to ceiling finds its place.
Around place Marcel-Sembat and rue du Vieux-Pont-de-Sèvres, in Boulogne-Billancourt, the shops open to the street through wide windows, and a mural at the back of the shop reads from the pavement. The offices of the Trapèze ask for something else: a reception wall carrying the colours of the company, or the bend of the Seine painted like a map. In family flats, children's bedrooms take trees, animals and boats drawn in line.
The subjects come from the city itself: the Seine and the île Seguin, the Japanese bridge in the Albert-Kahn gardens, the facades and studio windows of the 1930s, the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, a family portrait, a botanical motif for a bedroom

Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci stands in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.

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.
How much does a mural cost in Boulogne-Billancourt?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price is per square metre: 150 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, 250 € for a fully painted subject, 350 € for trompe-l’oeil or a ceiling. A small mural in a bedroom costs less than a facade that needs preparation and scaffolding. The quote is free: see all prices.
How does it work to have a wall painted in Boulogne-Billancourt?
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 in Boulogne-Billancourt, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Boulogne-Billancourt, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Boulogne-Billancourt cover?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price per square metre includes the paint and materials, the first two sketches, corrections during the work and the protective varnish as a finish. Added to the quote, when needed, are the scaffolding for a facade and travel costs, agreed together. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours; a deposit of about 100 € for materials confirms the date, and the balance is settled at the end.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the sketch on a photo of your wall, with a detailed price. Two free sketches are proposed to you before you confirm, and she adjusts them with you.
What kind of mural works well in Boulogne-Billancourt?
The large, bright rooms of Boulogne-Billancourt call for more than a small motif: a mural running along a whole living-room wall, a sky on the ceiling, a geometric scheme that picks up the lines of the building, a false window on a blind wall. With a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
The wall stays intact. Acrylic bonds to a painted or plastered wall, which keeps its finish and needs only a light preparation. And if you change your mind in ten years, a roller of paint covers it.
Can a view of Boulogne-Billancourt be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it holds up well on a large wall. The Seine and the île Seguin, the Albert-Kahn gardens with their Japanese bridge, the 1930s facades, the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. Giulia Dal Bon paints it with a brush, on site. The price follows the technique: 150 € per sqm as a line drawing, 250 € for a fully painted view. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Boulogne-Billancourt?
The most requested subjects: floral and botanical work for bedrooms and living rooms, landscapes for living spaces and terraces, trompe l’oeil for facades and ceilings. Everything is drawn to measure: Giulia offers two free sketches from your idea, and you refine it together until the subject is yours. If you are still choosing the subject of your mural in Boulogne-Billancourt, the guide What subject to choose for a mural reviews the options room by room.
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. The choice depends on the finish you are after.
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.
Does a mural hold up outdoors in Boulogne-Billancourt?
Yes. On a garden wall, a gable or a courtyard wall in Boulogne-Billancourt, Giulia Dal Bon prepares the surface, waits for a dry wall and mild weather, then paints in quartz paint, made for facades. On a busy street, anti-pollution varnish can be added.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Boulogne-Billancourt?
For an indoor wall you are free. For a facade visible from the street, you need the agreement of the owner or the co-owners, and a prior declaration at the Boulogne-Billancourt town hall. Giulia explains the steps before she starts.
How long does it take to paint a mural?
It depends on the surface, the level of detail and how easy the wall is to reach. Giulia gives the timing with the quote, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves. The place keeps running while she works: the acrylic is odourless.
How long does a mural last?
An acrylic mural 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. In Boulogne-Billancourt, on a façade exposed to traffic, Giulia can also propose an anti-pollution paint, which turns part of the nitrogen oxides under daylight. The option is priced in the quote.
Can an old painted scheme be restored in Boulogne-Billancourt?
Yes. Giulia Dal Bon studied restoration at the Brera Academy, and Boulogne-Billancourt offers the example at Notre-Dame, where the choir paintings have crossed more than a century and are the subject of restoration campaigns. On a private scheme she cleans, consolidates and repaints only what is missing, after a test on a sample area.

Where Giulia works in Boulogne-Billancourt
In Boulogne-Billancourt, for a private client, in a house, a villa, a second home or a flat, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the children’s bedroom and the bedroom. The same work applies to the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell. The ceiling is painted too: that is the €350 per sqm band, with trompe-l’oeil. Outdoors, she uses quartz paint on the exterior facade and the garden wall, with a protective varnish to finish. She also paints on a mobile panel, to carry the painting elsewhere.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Boulogne-Billancourt, the room stays open while she paints: the acrylic is odourless. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the window, the shutter and the back wall. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints the lobbies, the corridors and the rooms. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the treatment-room walls and the reception area. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the waiting room and the corridor leading to it. For an office and a showroom, she paints reception, the corridor and the meeting room. A vaulted cellar takes the same paint, right up to the ceiling.
From Le Parchamp to Billancourt, from Point-du-Jour to Les Princes, Giulia paints all over Boulogne-Billancourt.
Possible subjects in Boulogne-Billancourt: the Seine and the île Seguin, the Japanese bridge in the Albert-Kahn gardens, the facades and studio windows of the 1930s, the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, a family portrait, a botanical motif for a bedroom.
A mural is also called a wall mural, an artistic painting on a wall, a wall decoration. People say mural decoration, decorative painting, trompe-l’oeil, hand-painted wall, drawing on a wall, or a painting made directly on the wall: in every case someone paints the wall by hand, layer after layer. In Boulogne-Billancourt, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Boulogne-Billancourt lies between the Seine and the woods: the île Seguin and its quays, the 1930s buildings with their wide bays, and the Albert-Kahn gardens.
Giulia also travels to Issy-les-Moulineaux, Sèvres, Saint-Cloud, Meudon, Clamart, Vanves, Chaville and Ville-d’Avray.
