Living with a painted wall

A painting that enters the home naturally

Here, the mural becomes part of the home. It can accompany an entrance, a living room, a bedroom, a staircase, or a ceiling, with a painting shaped for the space and for the life inside it.

In your home too, the painting is a show: you watch Giulia paint, and see the wall change day by day.

Giulia travels to paint on site, in France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and across the rest of Europe. Interiors are painted with odourless acrylic, so the room stays usable during the work and straight after. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48h.

Rooms, surfaces and technique

A mural can take place in almost any room of a house. Here are the surfaces involved, the technique used, and what changes the price.

What Giulia brings to a home or a villa. Giulia is a painter, trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries and also paints on walls. Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have written about her work, and her mural of over twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci can be seen in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.

Rooms and surfaces

Living room, bedroom, entrance hall, kitchen, stairwell, corridor, ceiling, bathroom, courtyard and garden wall. Everything is painted by hand, in odourless acrylic.

Technique

Interiors in odourless acrylic, so the room stays usable during the work. Exteriors in quartz paint, made for outdoor walls. An acrylic mural can be painted over later like any ordinary wall paint. As a finish Giulia applies a protective varnish: the mural lasts a lifetime, and the wall wipes clean with a damp sponge, and the paint stays intact.

What changes the quote

The surface to paint, how detailed the design is, indoors or outdoors, the state of the wall before preparation, the height and any scaffolding. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48h.

Through the house, room by room

A bedroom, a staircase, a ceiling or a facade are each handled differently. The dedicated pages give the detail.

Your questions, before commissioning

A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.

In an apartment building the shared areas work the same way: see murals for apartment buildings.

I’d like a mural or a painting in my home, who should I contact?

Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals in houses and villas: living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, terraces and pool walls, and travels across Europe. Send her a photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and your idea, however loose: she replies within 48 hours with a quote and a first proposal. The first two sketches are free.

How do I get a mural painted in my home?

Write to Giulia Dal Bon on WhatsApp or by email, even if the idea is still vague: she replies within 48 hours. Send her a photo of the wall to be painted, she draws a sketch straight onto your photo, you tell her what you think, and the first two sketches are free. Once the sketch is approved, she sends you the quote, from 150 € per sqm, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your home, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.

Do we have to leave the house while the mural is painted?

You stay at home and life goes on as usual: Giulia paints indoors with odourless acrylics, and people take the time to watch while she works. Thanks to the varnish applied as a finish, the wall can then be wiped with a damp sponge and the paint stays intact.

How much does a 15 sqm mural cost in a house?

The price is per square metre. For 15 sqm in a house, allow about 2,250 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, and 3,750 € for a fully painted subject, paint, materials and varnish included.

What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and spray-painted graffiti?

They are two different crafts. A graffiti artist works with spray cans, with a fast gesture and a graphic finish. A brush-painted mural is built layer by layer, which allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil: it is a painting made directly on the wall. Indoors, Giulia uses odourless acrylic. And while she paints, people take the time to watch: a brush at work is a show in itself.

What do you call an artist who paints on walls?

A mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist or a decorative painter, and the art itself is called mural painting or wall art. Some come from graffiti and work with spray cans; Giulia Dal Bon comes from painting: trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she exhibits her paintings in art galleries and paints commissioned murals with a brush. To have one painted, send her a photo of your wall: free quote within 48 hours.

How long does a mural last?

An acrylic mural by Giulia Dal Bon lasts a lifetime indoors: the paint becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. Outdoors, quartz paint is made for facades, and an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish extends it further. And if one day you want a change, it can be painted over like any wall paint.
