Price of a mural
How it works
Four steps, no commitment before the quote.
Send a photo of the wall
A photo and rough dimensions are enough. Tell me the city, the type of place, and whether the wall is indoors or outdoors.
Get a sketch and a quote
I send you a digital sketch over the photo of your wall, with a detailed quote. Free.
I paint the wall
From 150 € per sqm for a simple motif, more if the design is very detailed. We set the date together.
Practical questions before commissioning a mural
The questions that come up most often.
Can I see the design before saying yes ?
Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the project as an image on your own wall, with a detailed price. Several sketches are proposed to you before the project is confirmed.
What kind of mural works well in Florence ?
In Florence, many Renaissance palazzi have coffered ceilings and once-frescoed walls, a setting well suited to detailed work and classic-style trompe-l'oeil. Everything is painted by hand in acrylic, with no wallpaper and no printing.
Does it damage the wall ?
No damage. Acrylic bonds to a painted or plastered wall, with no stripping and no heavy undercoat. And if you change your mind in ten years, a roller of paint covers it.
Florence between the Renaissance and everyday life
Here, a mural works when it dialogues with coffered ceilings, once-frescoed walls, and classic proportions.
Homes and apartments
Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, entrances, stairwells, and ceilings in the palazzi of the centre. Example: a living room wall of 8 sqm in a detailed design, around 2 000 €.
Boutique hotels and restaurants
Boutique hotels, historic residences, restaurants, and shops near the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. In a market where competitors look alike, a mural is one of the few things that cannot be copied. Example: a boutique hotel wall of 12 sqm in a detailed design, around 3 000 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Hot, dry Tuscan summers are the most favourable season for painting a facade. For a facade visible from the street, the owner's or the building association's approval is usually enough, plus a notice to the town hall in a protected zone, a common situation in the UNESCO-listed historic centre. From 150 € per sqm, plus scaffolding if needed.
A mural for this place
Florence is a city of Renaissance palazzi, where many apartments in the centre still have coffered ceilings, once-frescoed walls, and period floors. Requests come from historic apartments, boutique hotels in the centre, and shops looking for a distinctive element. Hot, dry Tuscan summers are the best season for exterior work. Giulia travels easily to paint: she comes on site to see the wall, or works first from photos and measurements.

Frequently asked questions about murals in Florence
How much does a mural cost in Florence ?
The price is per square metre: 150 € for a simple motif, 250 € for a detailed design, 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.
How long does it take ?
The time depends on the project: it is discussed together based on the wall and the subject. As a general guide, a simple motif takes less time than a very detailed design or a large surface.
Does a mural last outdoors in Florence ?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. Tuscan summers are hot and dry, the most favourable season for painting a facade. Work is avoided during extreme heatwaves.
Is permission needed to paint a facade ?
For an interior wall, no. For a facade visible from the street, you usually need the owner's or the building association's approval, and a notice to the town hall if the building is in a protected area: Florence's historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is almost entirely protected. Giulia explains the process before starting.
Can a mural be changed or removed later ?
Yes. A mural painted in acrylic can be covered like any wall paint. It can also be reworked or extended later.
