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.

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 Lisbon?
In period apartments in Chiado or Príncipe Real, a botanical motif or a discreet trompe l'oeil work well alongside original stone staircases and existing azulejo panels. 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.
Lisbon, between Chiado and Alfama
Here, a mural works when it plays off the decorative character already present in the interiors, without imitating the original azulejos.
Period apartments
Living rooms, bedrooms, entrances in renovated apartments in Chiado and Príncipe Real, often with original stone staircases and azulejo panels. Example: a 10 m² living room wall in a detailed subject, around €2,500.
Hotels and boutiques
Boutique hotels and shops in the historic centre, looking for a feature that sets them apart from the competition. 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
Chiado remains the benchmark for prime real estate in Lisbon, with the intensity of a European capital and the intimacy of a neighbourhood; nearby, Príncipe Real draws buyers seeking quiet streets, nineteenth-century palaces and a discreet international atmosphere. Further down, Alfama, the oldest part of the city built on the slope below São Jorge Castle, keeps its original azulejos and narrow cobbled lanes. The clientele able to commission a mural is often international: French, British, American, Brazilian, Swiss, alongside a strong local scene of digital nomads and fast-growing luxury hospitality. 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 Lisbon
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 Lisbon?
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 Lisbon?
Yes, with surface preparation suited to the Portuguese 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 historic centre 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.
