Mural Projects We Take On
- Kids' rooms and nurseries — animals, woodlands, space, ocean, fairytale, whatever your child loves.
- Accent walls in living spaces — abstract, botanical, geometric, or landscape.
- Dining rooms and entryways — statement pieces that anchor a room.
- Commercial walls and lobbies — branded murals, illustrated logos, color stories that match a brand.
- Restaurants and cafes — mood walls, signage, photo-friendly backgrounds.
- Exterior building murals — for larger commercial projects.
Our Mural Design Process
- Free consultation — we visit the space, take measurements, talk about what you have in mind, and look at reference imagery you love.
- Concept sketch — Evelyn draws 1-3 concept directions for the space.
- Approval and refinement — we adjust until the concept is exactly right. No paint goes on a wall before you're sure.
- Paint — wall prep, sketch transfer, and hand painting in layers. Small accent murals take 1-2 days; large detailed murals 4-7 days.
- Topcoat — optional matte sealer for high-traffic areas or commercial spaces.
Pricing and Timeline
Custom mural pricing depends on size, complexity, and detail level. As a rough guide:
- Small accent mural (3-6 ft wide, simple design): $400-$1,200
- Medium room mural (full feature wall, moderate detail): $1,200-$3,500
- Large or commercial mural (full wall, high detail, complex composition): $3,500+
Every mural quote is free and fixed-price after the concept sketch is approved.
Why Hand-Painted Matters
Wall decals peel. Wallpaper murals show seams. Printed murals fade and can't be touched up. A hand-painted mural is a one-of-a-kind piece of art on your wall — it lasts decades, can be cleaned, and can be touched up later if a hand inevitably finds it. Evelyn has been illustrating since childhood and brings real fine-art technique to every project.
Recent Project: Bathroom Refresh with Custom Stripe Accent
This bathroom started as a builder-grade tan-walled space with a dark stained vanity. We transformed it into a bright, intentional design with a custom hand-painted vertical stripe accent treatment in soft yellow and a refinished cabinet in a fresh blue — a great example of how mural and custom-design work can completely reshape a small room without major renovation.
Common Questions
How much does a custom mural cost in Grand Rapids? +
Custom murals typically run $400-$1,200 for small accent murals, $1,200-$3,500 for full feature walls, and $3,500+ for large or highly detailed commercial murals. Pricing depends on size, complexity, and detail. Every quote is free after a concept sketch is approved.
How long does it take to paint a custom mural? +
Small accent murals take 1-2 days. Full feature walls take 3-5 days. Large or commercial murals take 5-10 days. The design phase (consultation and sketch approval) typically adds 3-7 days before painting starts.
Can I choose my own custom design? +
Absolutely — that's the whole point. We start with a free consultation, sketch concepts based on your ideas and any reference imagery you love, and refine until the design is exactly right before any paint goes on the wall.
How long will the mural last? +
Hand-painted murals on properly prepped walls last for decades. We use the same premium interior paints we use on the rest of the house, with an optional matte sealer for high-traffic areas. Murals can be touched up easily if scuffed.
Do you do murals for kids' rooms and nurseries? +
Yes — this is one of our most popular mural categories. Evelyn specializes in playful, story-driven designs for children's spaces, from nursery scenes to whimsical character art for older kids.
Do you paint commercial murals? +
Yes. We do branded murals, logo illustrations, restaurant feature walls, lobby murals, and exterior commercial murals across Grand Rapids. Commercial projects include a written design brief and fixed-price quote.
Are you the actual artist, or do you outsource? +
Evelyn personally designs and paints every mural — she's an Industrial Design student at Wayne State University and a lifelong illustrator. Jackson assists with wall prep, transfer, and finishing. No subcontractors.
