Your wall is working either way. Right now it is saying nothing.
Every person who passes your frontage decides something about you before they reach the door. A blank wall makes that decision for them, and it rarely decides in your favour.
The only marketing you buy once and keep for years.
A month of social ads disappears the day you stop paying. A printed sign fades, curls and dates. A hand-painted wall is still doing the same job in five years, and it is the one piece of your marketing that nobody can scroll past.
It stops people, and people photograph it
Murals get stood in front of, photographed and posted — by customers, for free, to their own followers. That is advertising you did not buy and cannot fake with a vinyl banner.
It cannot be copied
Your competitor can buy the same signage, the same fit-out, the same furniture. They cannot buy a wall painted by hand for your specific space. It is the difference between looking professional and looking like nowhere else.
It changes how the place feels to work in
Staff spend more waking hours in front of your walls than your customers do. A courtyard, a staff room or a reception that somebody clearly cared about is not a small thing over a long year.
A study at the University of Cincinnati mapped every mural in the city against pedestrian traffic and demographic data. It found murals were significantly linked to increased pedestrian activity — and that this held independently of the demographics of the area.
In other words, the footfall followed the murals rather than the murals simply appearing in places that were already busy.

Every one of these started as a blank or tired wall and a conversation.
“The mural is everything we had asked for and more — it has completely transformed the space and has been noticed and admired by everyone who has seen it.”
How it works, start to finish
The same five steps every time, so you always know what happens next.
Consultation & site visit
We walk the space together and talk through mood, colour, budget and how the wall actually gets used.
Design proof
A to-scale mockup of the mural on a photograph of your own wall. Nothing is painted until you have said yes to it.
Wall prep
Cleaning, patching and priming, so the surface holds the paint and the mural lasts.
Hand-painting
Painted on site in sections, worked around your hours so the space stays usable.

What it tends to cost
A guide, not a quote. It is deliberately broad, because where a project lands depends on the detail, the surface and how much of the wall you want covered — things we work out together. You get a fixed price in writing before anything is booked.
€3,000 – €8,000
A typical single commercial wall — a reception, café, frontage or courtyard. Full building schemes and signage are quoted separately.
- A design fee from €350, credited against the project
- A to-scale mockup on a photo of your actual wall, approved before painting
- Design worked around your brand — colours, tone and lettering
- Painted outside trading hours where that suits you better
- Exterior-grade sealing, and a 12-month touch-up guarantee
Questions I get asked
Yes. Many business walls are painted outside trading hours or in quieter parts of the week. We agree the schedule before booking so it does not cost you a day's business.
Yes. Exterior murals are painted with masonry-grade materials and sealed with a protective varnish suited to the surface. Every mural comes with a 12-month touch-up guarantee.
It can, and often should — hand-painted lettering reads as far more considered than a printed sign. The Lapland Farm gable is exactly that: the business name and a mural in one.
You will need your landlord's permission before we start, and it is worth asking early. A mural usually adds value to a property, so landlords are often more receptive than people expect.
A printed sign is cheaper on day one. A mural covers far more wall, does not curl, fade at the edges or need replacing every few years, and it is the thing people photograph. Different jobs — I will tell you honestly if a sign would serve you better.
Let's look at your wall.
Tell me where it is, roughly how big it is, and what you would want people to feel walking past. I will come and see it, and there is no charge for that.
