Commercial Guide
A guide for businesses commissioning wall art: what a corporate mural does for a brand, what it costs, how approvals and insurance work, and how a professional studio runs a commercial installation without shutting down your operation.
(01)
A mural translates a brand into something employees and clients stand inside of. Unlike signage or print, it reads as culture rather than advertising — which is exactly why it lands harder in a lobby, a headquarters, or a flagship store.
(02)
Offices competing for talent are investing in environment. Original artwork signals a company that invests in its space and its people, and it turns generic drywall corridors into places employees actually want to be.
(03)
Commissioned murals get photographed. A striking exterior wall or lobby piece becomes a backdrop for social posts, press, recruiting content, and events — ongoing organic reach from a one-time capital expense.
(04)
Large-scale art defines zones inside open-plan offices, marks entrances, and gives multi-building campuses landmarks people navigate by. It is design work as much as decoration.
Ranges include design development, materials, and protective coating. Lift rental, permits, after-hours scheduling, and anti-graffiti coatings are quoted as separate line items. For the full breakdown of what moves a number up or down, see the mural pricing guide.
(01)
We review the space, take measurements, photograph surface conditions, and talk through brand goals, audience, and any facilities or landlord constraints.
(02)
You receive scaled concept renderings mocked onto photos of the actual wall, with two revision rounds built in. This is the stage where stakeholders, facilities, and marketing all sign off before any paint moves.
(03)
We lock dates around your operating hours, arrange lifts or scaffolding, submit COIs, and coordinate with property management, general contractors, and building security.
(04)
Surfaces are cleaned, repaired, and primed, then painted with professional-grade acrylics. Work areas are protected daily and left clean. For exteriors we finish with a UV-stable clear coat, plus anti-graffiti coating where needed.
(05)
You get maintenance guidance, touch-up paint specs, and high-resolution photography of the finished work for your marketing and internal comms.
Most corporate murals run $20–$75 per square foot. A single lobby or conference-room feature wall typically lands between $4,000 and $12,000, while a multi-floor office program or an exterior building mural for a headquarters commonly runs $20,000–$60,000+ depending on access and scale.
Design and approvals usually take two to four weeks. On-site painting is typically three to ten days for an interior wall and one to three weeks for a large exterior. We schedule around business hours, including nights and weekends, so operations are never shut down.
Yes. We work from brand books — exact color values, logo lockups, typography, and tone. The goal is artwork that reads as your brand without looking like a printed advertisement on a wall.
Yes. We carry general liability, provide certificates of insurance naming the property owner and general contractor, and follow site safety requirements including lift certification and badging where required.
The physical mural belongs to the property owner. Reproduction rights for marketing, packaging, or merchandise are negotiated in the contract and can be licensed or fully assigned — it just needs to be agreed in writing before work starts.
Often, yes — with landlord written approval. For short-term leases we can also paint on modular panels that mount to the wall and travel with you when the lease ends.
