Murals for restaurants and cafés

Trained at the Brera Academy, she works in odourless acrylic, and service carries on while she paints. From 150 € per sqm.

Welcoming through colour
A painted wall that gives atmosphere, rhythm, and memory
In a hotel, restaurant, boutique, or hospitality space, a mural does more than decorate. It can give the place a clearer atmosphere, rhythm, and visual memory and keep it light.
The painting itself draws a crowd: while Giulia works, guests and passers-by linger to watch, admire, take photos. The mural gets people talking about the place before it is even finished.
Giulia travels to paint on site, in France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and across the rest of Europe. The acrylic is odourless, so a restaurant or café can keep serving while the wall is painted. From 150 € per sqm, free quote within 48h.
Where Giulia travels
Giulia travels across Europe to paint on site: the European Union, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Monaco.

Surfaces, technique and service constraints
A dining room, a shopfront and a terrace are each painted their own way. Here are the surfaces, the technique, and what changes the quote.
What Giulia brings to a restaurant or a café. 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.
Surfaces involved
Dining room wall, ceiling, shopfront, metal shutter, covered terrace, bar, cellar and facade. Everything is painted by hand, in odourless acrylic.
Technique
The acrylic is odourless, so the restaurant or café can keep serving while the wall is painted. Shopfronts, shutters and facades are painted in quartz paint, with anti-pollution varnish in cities or anti-salt varnish by the sea. As a finish Giulia applies a protective varnish: the mural lasts a lifetime, and the wall behind the banquettes 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.

How to order
The steps, from the first photo of the wall to the quote and the painting date.
How to order a muralYour questions, before commissioning
A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.
I’d like a mural or a painting in my restaurant, who should I contact?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals in restaurants, cafés and bars, in odourless acrylic so the service keeps running, 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 restaurant?
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 in your restaurant, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
Does the restaurant have to close while the mural is painted?
The restaurant stays open and service continues: 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 restaurant?
The price is per square metre. For 15 sqm in a restaurant, 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. The first two sketches are free, and she adjusts them with you. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours.

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?
The murals Giulia Dal Bon paints last 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.
