Murals in Deauville
Deauville’s villa quarter was created at the end of the 19th century under the Duke of Morny, with upscale dwellings surrounded by tree-lined gardens, built as primary or secondary residences. Strict planning rules still preserve the harmony of the landscape and low building density today, keeping views open and residents' privacy intact. The property stock remains predominantly made up of secondary residences, which makes Deauville more a prestigious seaside destination than a year-round town. In Deauville, Giulia paints for villas, historic hotels near the planches and residences. Giulia travels easily to Deauville to paint: you send her a photo of the wall and she draws the sketch straight onto it, so you see the mural in place before she travels.
What Giulia brings to Deauville. 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. She paints with a brush, in odourless acrylic indoors and quartz paint outdoors, and Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
Live painting is available in Deauville too. Giulia arrives with canvas and paints, works through a seaside wedding, a summer evening or a birthday, and the painting is yours at the end of the evening. From 950 € for a wedding, from 400 € for a performance. See live painting →

How does it work to have a wall painted in Deauville?
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 Deauville, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Deauville, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Deauville cover?
The square-metre price Giulia Dal Bon quotes 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.
I’d like a mural or a painting on a wall of my home in Deauville, who should I contact?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals by brush in homes, bedrooms, bathrooms, on terraces, pool walls and facades, and travels in Deauville as she does 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. The guide Who to hire to have a wall painted helps you prepare your request for a wall in Deauville.
Can I see a design before commissioning the mural?
Always. You receive a sketch set on a photo of your own wall, to scale, together with the quote. The first two sketches are free: Giulia shows the work in progress, you give your opinion, and she adjusts. You confirm when you are ready.
Will a mural damage the wall?
The paint goes onto the plaster already in place. In most cases a dusting down is all that is needed before starting. If the surface has cracks or rising damp, Giulia points it out before quoting and proposes the preparation required. Indoors she uses an odourless acrylic: a child’s bedroom in use or a restaurant that stays open can both be painted. An acrylic mural can later be painted over like any wall paint, if you change your mind in ten years.
When is the best time to paint a mural in Deauville?
All year round. Indoors the odourless acrylic lets the room stay in use while she works, in January as in July. Outdoors she needs a dry wall and a mild temperature. Giulia sets the date with you when she quotes, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves.
Can a view of Deauville be painted on a wall?
Yes. What draws the city comes down to a few elements. The half-timbered villas born in the late nineteenth century at the Duc de Morny’s instigation, the boardwalk, the parasols and the beach to the horizon. Giulia Dal Bon composes the view for the wall in front of her. As a line drawing, 150 € per sqm; painted in colour, 250 € per sqm. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Deauville?
In Belle Époque-style villas, a painted sky ceiling or a refined botanical motif fit well with the high ceilings and original panelling. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
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 Deauville?
Yes, with surface preparation suited to the Atlantic climate. Outdoors, Giulia paints all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Deauville?
An interior wall can be painted freely. For a facade visible from the street, you generally need the owner’s or building association’s agreement, alongside the villa quarter’s planning rules. Giulia explains the process before starting.
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?
Painted in acrylic by Giulia Dal Bon, a 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.

Where Giulia works in Deauville
In Deauville, she paints on an interior wall : the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen. The same work applies to the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the veranda. The ceiling is painted too: that is the €350 per sqm band, with trompe-l’oeil. Outside, on the exterior facade, she works in quartz paint. She also paints on a mobile panel, to carry the painting elsewhere.
She paints in venues as different as villa and hotel, and in second home.
The subject is decided together. A landscape opens up the far end of a room, a floral or botanical motif runs along a wall, a painted sky fills a ceiling, a perspective trompe-l’oeil draws a window on a solid wall. Giulia also paints figures, animals, lettering, painted signs, and reproduces an existing work when you ask her to.
Possible subjects in Deauville: the parasols and the beach to the horizon, the half-timbered villas born in the late nineteenth century at the Duc de Morny’s instigation, the boardwalk. And anywhere, a trompe-l’oeil window, botanicals and a painted sky find their place.
The craft goes by several names, and each of them is right about something. Mural and wall mural speak of the wall, wall decoration and mural decoration speak of the room, decorative painting speaks of the gesture, trompe-l’oeil speaks of the effect. A hand-painted wall, a drawing on a wall, a painting made directly on the wall: still the same thing. In Deauville, it is called a mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist, a decorative painter.
The villa quarter, created at the end of the 19th century under the Duke of Morny, remains today at the heart of Deauville’s seaside identity, along with its famous planches by the beach.
Giulia also travels across the whole of Normandy.
