FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Charlotte Designs understands that commissioning a mural isn’t something you do every day. Take a look at our FAQs, but dont be afraid to drop us a line if you just have a question.
HOW DO I COMMISSION A MURAL?
Every mural starts with a conversation about what you want the outcome to be. I then produce sketches and visuals before agreeing a suitable time to paint. It’s a well honed process that has been developed over years of experience.
HOW DO I COME UP WITH IDEAS FOR MY MURAL?
Charlotte Designs approaches every mural as a trained interior designer, not just a painter. Sarah considers the space, the light, the audience and your vision holistically — ensuring the finished mural feels exactly right for the environment, not just the wall.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE MY MURAL?
Most domestic murals are completed within one to three days on site. Commercial murals typically take three to five days, depending on size and complexity. Sarah’s 20 years of experience and refined techniques mean high quality is never compromised by speed.
CAN A MURAL BE PAINTED ON ANY SURFACE?
Pretty much, yes! With the right preparation and materials, murals can be painted on almost any surface. Some surfaces may need more work to get them ready, and this is something you can do yourself if you prefer, but it is one of the things that makes murals a great decorating solution.
HOW MUCH DOES A MURAL COST?
Mural costs vary depending on size, complexity and surface. As a guide, domestic murals typically start from around £550, with commercial projects priced on application. Every project receives a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your exact requirements. Contact Sarah here.
