The price of a custom-made mural in a company depends mainly on the surface, the level of complexity, the constraints of the site, the finishes (protection/varnishing), and the fact that the service provider manages creation + manufacture + installation. An integrated “workshop” approach reduces friction (a single point of contact, artistic and technical coherence).

Definition: “custom-made mural”

A custom-made mural is a work designed specifically for a place (hallway, corridor, open space, stairwell, cafeteria, campus), taking into account the architecture, light, flows, existing colors and brand identity. It can be figurative, abstract, typographical, geometric, immersive, or thought of as a journey. The interest: to create a landmark, an emotion, and an immediately perceptible “before/after”.

Why companies invest (real reasons to buy)

1. Employer branding : a more inspiring, more memorable place that makes you want to come and invite.
2. Visitor experience : more premium welcome, signal of attention and uniqueness.
3. Brand coherence : visual translation of values (innovation, care, boldness, sobriety, etc.).
4. Wayfinding : when the mural is combined with consistent signage.

The 7 factors that make the price of a mural vary (what the client needs to know)

1. Surface area and height : m², but also accessibility (scaffolding, basket, stairs).
2. Graphic complexity : simple flat areas vs. gradients/material effects/fine details.
3. Creation time : research, moodboard, sketches, validation iterations.
4. Site constraints : occupied location, night hours, security, daily cleaning.
5. Preparation of the supports : “ready to paint” wall vs. rework, plastering, protection.
6. Finishes : varnish/protective film (anti-fingerprint, washable, resistance).
7. Integration into a 360° project : when the fresco is articulated with window stickers (glazing) and signage (markers, directions, plaques). An integrated workshop can handle everything consistently.

In the end, the price of a fresco varies from €150 to €300 per m² excluding tax. The bigger it is, the more complex it is to implement.

What are the other factors that vary the price of a fresco for companies?

The location acts as an “implementation coefficient” (access, security, weather, site protection, unproductive time). These are concrete examples, with orders of magnitude that are easy to integrate into a quote.

Outdoor Mural + Height

• Exterior façade in height (scaffolding/cherry picker, wind, weather, security)
  typically increase the budget by +25% (sometimes more if aerial work platform + HSE constraints).

Mural on a curtain wall (glass façade of an office building)

• Curtain wall / glazing : specific adhesion (painting on glass is rarely ideal), need for films/adhesives, cleaning constraints, reflection/reading, sometimes coordinated intervention with façade maintenance.
  Price variation: +15% to +40% depending on the solution (printed film applied vs. painted, aerial work platform access, opening hours).

“Simple” Indoor Mural

• Accessible interior wall (smooth wall, standard height, easy protection, no weather)
  Price variation: rather -5% to -15% vs an exterior façade, or “standard” price.

Other common cases

1) Occupied site / public passage

• Reception hall, corridor, open space, shop in operation: marking, phasing, noise/odours, daily cleaning time.
  Price variation: +10% to +25% (or +X €/day of phasing).

2) Off-duty intervention (night / weekend)

• To avoid hindering the activity, or access imposed by the site.
  Price variation: +15% to +35% (or increase per day/hour).

3) Difficult access “physically”

• Narrow stairs, impossibility of transporting scaffolding, lack of elevator, long equipment carrier.
  Price variation: +5% to +20% (often invoiced in time/logistics).

4) Areas with high safety / HSE constraints

• Industrial sites, warehouses, data centers, areas with specific PPE, fire permits, security reception, mandatory support.
  Price variation: +10% to +30% (administrative time + access time + constraints).

5) Complicated support

• Rough plaster / brick / stone : consumes more paint, less sharp contours, longer marking time.
  Price variation: +10% to +25%.
• Very porous / damp / chalky wall : primary, support recovery, drying time.
  ➡️ can become a separate item (“preparation of the support”).

6) Very high interior height (atrium, stairwell, mezzanine)

• Even indoors, if you exceed 3–4 m: scaffolding, harness, assembly time.
  Price variation: +15% to +35%.

7) Roof / ceiling / soffit

• Painting on the ceiling or under the soffits (raised arms, drips, protections) is much slower.
  Price variation: +20% to +50%.

8) “Messy” or sensitive environment

• Kitchen, workshop, humidity area (pool/spa), south-facing outdoor / seaside: need varnish/anti-UV/anti-corrosion, maintenance requirements.
  Price variation: +10% to +30% (often via the “protection / technical varnish” item).

9) Access by rope access / not accessible façade

• When a basket is impossible: rope access technicians, authorisations, reinforced security.
  Price variation: generally +40% to +100% (and often quantified with a service provider).

10) Condominium/shopping mall constraints

• Authorizations, imposed schedules, delivery path, insurance and documents, multiple identifications.
  Price variation: +10% to +25% (management + logistics).

The project method

Step 1 — Scoping (1-2 weeks)

• Objectives (image, orientation, atmosphere, confidentiality, event)
• precise locations + photos/map + constraints (schedules, traffic, safety rules)
• Framework budget and target time frame

Step 2 — Art Direction (2 to 4 weeks)

• Moodboard + creative axes
• 1 to 3 proposals (depending on contract)
• Adjustments until validation

Step 3 — Prototype/mock-up

Depending on the case: simulation on photo, color samples, texture tests, or technical scouting.

Step 4 — Production & Installation

• Surface preparation
• on-site production (or manufacture of elements if the solution is not “painted”)
• Final protection, cleaning, site acceptance

This “creation-manufacture-installation” logic is precisely the interest of an integrated workshop, often highlighted in high-end offers.

Checklist: What to prepare to get a reliable quote

• 10 photos of the place (wide angles + details)
• dimensions (W × H) + wall materials
• Access (lift, stairs, gondola possible?)
• Time constraints (occupied site, weekend, night)
• palette/chart (if existing) + inspirations
• Desired level of artistic “risk-taking” (sober / signature / spectacular)

Fresco + window stickers + signage : the combo that makes it “top-of-the-range”

Many companies are satisfied with a strong wall. However, the “lasting wow” effect often comes from a set:

• wall = emotion + brand
• glazing (window displays) = confidentiality + graphic continuity + controlled light
• Signage = orientation + consistency + perceived quality

FAQ

How long does a fresco project in occupied offices take?
From a few days to several weeks depending on surface area/access/time constraints.

Can you paint without smell?
Yes, depending on paintings, ventilation, and planning.

Can a fresco be cleaned?
Yes, if a suitable finish is provided (washable / anti-fingerprint protection).

Can we integrate the logo without “advertising”?
Yes: by symbols, typography, colors, or derived patterns.

What is the advantage of an integrated workshop?
Fewer interfaces, artistic/technical coherence, controlled execution.

Can we combine fresco and signage?
Yes, and that’s often what makes a place truly “legible” and memorable.

The quality of the Métamorphoze Atelier for monumental, corporate and heritage murals in companies

A monumental mural in a company is not “just” a great decoration: it is a tool of identity, a marker of experience and often a visual heritage that will accompany a site for years. When the surface area becomes XXL (cathedral hall, multi-building campus, R&D center, factory, connecting corridors, stairwells), quality is no longer just about style: it is measured by the ability to design, industrialize and deliver a coherent, sustainable project that is faithful to the initial intention.

This is precisely the DNA of Atelier Métamorphoze: “to create places that we love”, with a tailor-made creative approach, designed for professional environments, under an assertive artistic direction.

1) An artistic signature capable of “holding” on a monumental scale

On a large scale, many settings lose strength: the motif is repeated, the narration becomes confused, or the whole thing “looks like a wallpaper”. The quality of a mural workshop can be seen in its ability to:

• structure a composition that can be read at 3 meters as well as at 30 meters,
• manage rhythms, breathing, focal points,
• create a work that matches the architecture (volumes, lines, materials, light).

The workshop boasts monochrome, colorful, graphic, typographic, poetic and corporate frescoes, designed to convey a message while “transforming” the workplace.
This variety is not a catalogue: it is proof of artistic maturity. For a company, this means that you can aim for a sober and premium rendering (head office, bank, management) or, on the contrary, an immersive universe (innovation, R&D, campus) — without falling into the anecdotal.

2) A demonstrated ability on “non-standard” projects

Quality is also judged by the ability to deliver monumental without compromise. A striking example: the creation of more than 1000 linear metres of monumental wall frescoes and window stickers for a Renault Trucks / Volvo Group R&D site (R&D centre in Lyon), using techniques combining matt and glossy paint on the wall.
This type of reference says a lot: multi-zone coordination, production endurance, visual coherence on a set of buildings, and mastery of finishes (including matte/glossy effects, rarely managed properly on a large scale).

Another indicator of know-how: the ability to transform “thankless” but strategic spaces, such as connecting corridors, to create meaning and a lasting “wow” effect (25-metre collaborative project).

3) A “workshop” method: artistic direction + feasibility + controlled budget

In a company, quality is not only artistic: it is also operational. A wall project often fails for very concrete reasons: access constraints, planning, unclear validation phases, poorly prepared support, insufficient finishes, or lack of understanding of uses.

The workshop highlights an integrated logic (advice, identity, space design, frescoes, and variations) that makes it possible to align creative intention and real constraints.
And on its homepage, it is explicitly a question of revealing the identity of a place “while controlling your budget”, which is crucial on the decision-making side (management, purchasing, real estate, communication).

In concrete terms, a “workshop” quality approach can be seen at three times:

1. Before : framed brief + simulations + choice of techniques adapted to the location.
2. During : preparation of supports, protection, phasing, site cleanliness.
3. After : finishes, maintenance advice, consistency in future extensions.

4) Corporate: telling the story of a brand without “advertising”

A successful corporate mural doesn’t stick a logo on a wall. It translates an identity by:

• forms and frameworks inspired by the charter,
• a palette consistent with the site’s materials,
• a narrative (innovation, territory, human, industry, transmission),
• spatial landmarks (reception, traffic routes, key areas).

The workshop talks about “graphic mural identity… artistic” for offices, head offices and floors, in contexts of new construction, relocation, “new beginning”.
This is exactly where quality is measured: understanding how the company wants to make it feel — and expressing it without overloading.

5) Heritage: create a work that respects history and anchors the place

The word “patrimonial” takes on two meanings in business:

1. Corporate heritage : celebrating a history, a know-how, an internal culture (industry, sport, territory, memory of the site).
2. Architectural heritage : to intervene with respect in a place steeped in history (materials, volumes, atmosphere).

The studio explicitly evokes “poetic” universes and projects linked to places and their narrative — and also presents interventions on atypical spaces (tunnels, public sites) where architectural constraints impose a real maturity of design.

This heritage approach is a marker of quality: one does not “decorate”, one inscribes a work in continuity.

6) Quality is also multi-media coherence: wall + glass + markings

In corporate environments, the best result often comes from a complete system:

• mural(s) for emotion and signature,
• window stickers for privacy, light, graphic continuity,
• signage to make the place legible and fluid.

On some projects, the workshop precisely articulates frescoes, window displays and artistic signage in the same ensemble. This is an important quality criterion: a company does not live on a single wall, it lives in a path.

The quality of the Atelier Métamorphoze, for monumental corporate and heritage frescoes dedicated to companies, can be read in: the signature, the XXL capacity, the method, the budget/site control, and the overall coherence. To present this expertise to prospects, the most effective way is to show 3 pieces of evidence: a monumental achievement, a corporate case “site identity”, and a heritage case (history/territory). The ecosystem of your sites also makes it possible to naturally link wall art to signage (signaletique.art) and window stickers (vitrophanie.art), without diluting the core business: the fresco that transforms a place.
