Murals for property developers and new developments
Giulia Dal Bon hand-paints murals for developers and housing providers: the entrance hall of a new block, the sales suite, the site hoarding, a car park wall, a blank gable. She works in odourless acrylic indoors and in quartz paint outside, with anti-graffiti varnish on walls reachable from the street. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48h.

Where to start?
When you write to me about a mural in a development, here is what happens next.
A photo of the wall with the sketch
Send me a photo of the wall and I draw a sketch straight onto your photo. You tell me what you think. The first two sketches are included.
The quote
Once the sketch is approved, I send you the quote and we set the date together.
I paint the wall
I come and paint in your development, with a brush, and the place stays open while I work.
Three walls that help sell a development
The site hoarding. It stands on the street for months and is seen every day by neighbours and future buyers. Painted by hand it replaces a printed banner with something the neighbourhood looks at: a landscape, the future garden, a frieze, the name of the development drawn and painted. It is the best-value wall of a scheme, and a line drawing stays at 150 € per sqm.
The sales suite. That is where a reservation is signed, and the wall behind the model tells the place better than a panel: the neighbourhood from above, the park, the sea, the mountains, a motif that carries the identity of the development.
The entrance hall of the finished block. It is the first thing buyers see at handover, and the last image they keep of the scheme. A hand-painted scheme in the hall, a stairwell treated floor by floor, a car park wall: the address exists. And the protective varnish leaves the wall washable with a damp sponge, which matters to the future managing agent.
Painted by hand, for this development alone
A hand-painted mural belongs to that place alone, and that is what people remember about it. It is composed for the wall, at its real dimensions, in the light that actually falls on it: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto the photo of the wall, and you see the result in place before the first brushstroke. The first two sketches are included.
Outside, quartz paint is made for façades; an anti-graffiti varnish is offered on a hoarding or a wall reachable from the street, and an anti-pollution varnish on a façade exposed to traffic. Indoors, odourless acrylic lets her paint while the other trades are working, and the protective varnish leaves the wall washable: the mural lasts a lifetime.
The work gets the development talked about. While she paints, passers-by take the time to look, photograph, ask questions. A hoarding painted live gives images for the marketing of the scheme, week after week, well before handover.
The quote, the invoice and the programme
Giulia writes an itemised quote (surface, technique, materials, protection, timetable) and an invoice in the company’s name. She replies within 48 hours, travels across seventeen countries and speaks four languages.
She fits the construction programme: the hoarding from the start of the works; the hall once the finishes are in, just before handover. For a developer delivering several schemes, each site is quoted separately, with a scheme of its own for each address or a single hand carried across the portfolio.
Your questions, before you order
Can a site hoarding be painted?
Yes, and it is the most useful wall of a scheme: it stands on the street for months and is seen every day. Giulia Dal Bon paints a landscape, the future garden, a frieze or the name of the development drawn by hand. A line drawing stays at 150 € per sqm, a fully painted subject moves to 250 €, and an anti-graffiti varnish is offered on the reachable areas.
Can we see the result before approving it?
Yes. Send a photo of the wall: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto it, to scale, in the real light of the place. You see the mural in position before the first brushstroke, you tell her what you think, and she adjusts. The first two sketches are included, and the quote arrives within 48 hours.
Can she paint while the site is still running?
Yes. Indoors, odourless acrylic lets her paint while the other trades are working; she protects the floor around her and moves section by section. She fits her dates to your programme: the hoarding from the start of the works, the hall once the finishes are in, just before handover.
How much does a 35 sqm mural cost in a residential entrance hall?
Giulia Dal Bon paints by the square metre: 5,250 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, 8,750 € for a fully painted subject, 12,250 € for a trompe-l’oeil or a ceiling. The price includes the paint and the materials, the first two sketches and the finishing varnish. The quote is free, arrives within 48 hours and itemises every line.
Does the painted wall hold up after handover?
A lifetime. As a finish Giulia applies a protective varnish: the wall wipes clean with a damp sponge and the paint stays intact, which matters to the future managing agent. Outside, quartz paint is made for façades, with anti-pollution varnish in the city and anti-graffiti varnish on reachable walls.
Can the same scheme be carried across several developments?
Yes. Giulia quotes each site separately, with one quote per development and an invoice in the company’s name. You can keep a single hand from one address to the next, so the schemes recognise each other, or choose a subject of its own for each neighbourhood.
Who paints the mural?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, where she also studied restoration. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries and paints murals in seventeen European countries. Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Domus and Sky Arte have written about her work, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan. She paints with a brush, layer after layer, and signs the work if you wish.
What paint is used, and how long does it last?
Indoors, odourless acrylic colour: the place stays open for the whole of the work. Outdoors, quartz paint, made for façades, with anti-salt varnish by the sea and anti-pollution varnish in the city. As a finish Giulia applies a protective varnish: the mural lasts a lifetime, and the wall wipes clean with a damp sponge, leaving the paint intact.
Where does Giulia travel?
To seventeen countries across Europe, from big cities to small villages. She comes to see the wall, or works from your photos and measurements when everything starts at a distance. She speaks Italian, French, English and Spanish. Write her the name of the town and she will tell you how she would go about it; travel costs and logistics are agreed together.
