How it works
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.
Receive a sketch and a quote
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 Zurich?
In historic lakeside villas or offices in the Altstadt, a discreet botanical motif or an elegant trompe l'oeil fit well with high ceilings and the city's reserved atmosphere. 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.
Zurich, between the Altstadt and the lakeside
Here, a mural works when it plays off the balance between tradition and urban energy that defines the city.
Villas and residences
Living rooms, bedrooms, entrances in historic lakeside villas with their high ceilings. Example: a 10 m² living room wall in a detailed subject, around €2,500.
Offices and galleries
Offices in the Altstadt and galleries near the Kunsthaus, Switzerland's largest art museum. Example: a 15 m² office 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
Zurich's Altstadt, the medieval old town with its cobbled streets and guild houses, remains the heart of the city; nearby, the Kunsthaus Zürich, opened in 1910 and expanded several times up to the extension designed by David Chipperfield in 2020, is today Switzerland's largest art museum. Along the lakeshore, the residential district with its historic villas and high ceilings has long been associated with families of financial tradition. Requests come from private residences, offices and galleries looking for a distinctive feature. 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 Zurich
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 Zurich?
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 Zurich?
Yes, with surface preparation suited to the Swiss climate. The best period for an exterior mural runs from late spring to early 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 Altstadt 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.
