1

Send me your idea

Even if the idea is still vague, we shape it together. Write on WhatsApp or by email, I reply within 48h.

2

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.

3

Get a sketch and a quote

I send you a digital sketch over the photo of your wall, with a detailed quote. Free.

4

I paint the wall

From 150 € per sqm for a simple motif, more if the design is very detailed. We set the date together.

Picture the mural

Each project begins with the surface, the light, the proportions, the circulation, and the way the place is lived.

What kind of mural works well in Lake Maggiore ?

In Lake Maggiore, botanical designs inspired by the gardens of the Borromean Islands. Everything is painted by hand in acrylic, with no wallpaper and no printing.

Does it damage the wall ?

No. Giulia paints on the existing plaster after a simple clean. If the wall is cracked or damp, she says so before the quote and explains what needs fixing. An acrylic mural can be painted over later like any wall paint.

Can I see the design before saying yes ?

Yes, always. Giulia sends a digital sketch laid over the photo of your wall, with a detailed quote. Free, and you can ask for changes before confirming.

A mural for this place

Lake Maggiore shares its shores between Piedmont, Lombardy and Switzerland, with Stresa, Verbania, the Borromean Islands and the villages of the eastern shore. Lakeside hotels, guesthouses and second homes make up most of the demand. Lake humidity and cold winters on the northern shore: the window for exterior work runs May to September. Giulia travels easily to paint: she comes on site to see the wall, or works first from photos and measurements.

Ideas for spaces

The project can be light, landscape-led, vegetal, or more graphic. What matters is the right distance between the wall, the light, and the panorama.

Houses and villas

Bedrooms, living rooms, stairwells, entrances, hallways and ceilings. Example: a living room wall of 10 sqm in a simple motif, around 1 500 €.

Hotels, restaurants and shops

Restaurant rooms, hotel bedroom walls, shop windows, shutters, lobbies and offices. In a market where competitors look alike, a mural is one of the few things that cannot be copied. Example: a lakeside hotel dining room wall of 14 sqm in a detailed design, around 3 500 €.

Facades and exterior walls

Lake humidity is constant. The wall needs treating first, and a breathable paint to let it dry. 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. From 150 € per sqm, plus scaffolding if needed.

Other spaces

Homes, hospitality spaces, portfolio, and nearby pages to explore.
