Wall design for companies and offices: what suits your space?

A company wall has to suit your business and its location. In the reception area, clients and applicants see the motif. In a hallway, your employees pass it every day. A factory hall needs a different scale and impact than a small meeting room.

Which rooms can you design?#

We design reception areas, hallways, offices, cafeterias, training rooms and production halls. What matters is the surface, its condition and how the room is used.

Send us photos and measurements. One photo of the wall and a second of the whole room help with the assessment. We check the surface and discuss who will see the image and what it should convey. You'll find examples under Projects and more options under Wall design.

Does a company wall have to look like graffiti?#

No. For us, graffiti is a tool, not a style requirement. Options include clean lettering, logos, graphic areas, stencil motifs and classic mural painting with brush and roller.

The motif can show your company history, reference the region or pick up a brand message. For Bosch's IT center in Stuttgart, we combined the lettering “Connecting Bosch” with a portrait of company founder Robert Bosch. The company's own connectivity graphic runs through the image. In other Bosch buildings, we created hallway designs and lettering in bubble letters.

You don't need a finished motif idea before your first inquiry. We develop the direction with you and show matching references. If there are several decision-makers, name one person who gives the final approval of the design.

Can you use our logo and brand colors?#

Yes. We create logos with stencils so the proportions are right. For colors, we work with HKS, RAL and Pantone references.

Give us your logo and the color values from your corporate design. With strict guidelines, we make a color sample on your surface in advance. Plaster and concrete can make the same shade look different. Before execution, you see the motif as a photo montage on a photo of your wall. Two rounds of revisions are included in the design.

Can employees keep working during the painting?#

In many cases yes, if we section off the work area and coordinate the process with you beforehand. While we spray, the area stays closed to other people.

We protect the floor, furniture and adjacent surfaces from overspray. In an open-plan office, it can make more sense to close the area for a day. For sensitive operations, off-peak hours or the weekend are options. We factor such scheduling into the quote.

We coordinate access, ventilation and a contact person with your facility management. You provide power from a standard outlet, access to the surface and water nearby. We discuss the agreed schedule and use of the space after the work before we start.

How strong is the paint smell in the office?#

That depends on the paint system and the ventilation. If odor is a problem, we use low-odor, water-based spray paints indoors.

Solvent-based spray paints have a noticeable smell during the work. Water-based systems smell less. We choose materials to suit the room and plan in time for airing out. That's why we don't set a blanket reopening time for every office. Before the commission, you'll know which system we plan to use and when you can use the area again.

What's possible in a rented office?#

A canvas or a design on mounting panels can be taken with you when you move. That can make more sense than painting directly on the wall.

We also prefabricate such works in our studio. For a permanent wall design, clarify with your landlord beforehand whether the work may stay and what's agreed for moving out. For questions about consent, permits and usage rights, read the post Do I need a permit for a mural?.

Can multiple locations get the same design?#

Yes. A shared base graphic can be adapted to each location. We can paint prefabricated panels in our studio and then ship them.

For Deutsche Telekom, we developed a base graphic for training centers. A technician in front of a switch cabinet or server rack forms the shared motif. Added to that are landmarks of each city. The designs were created on Dibond panels and delivered to Nuremberg and Münster, among other places.

What does an interior wall at a company cost?#

For interior walls, the guide value is €120 to €150 net per square meter. The minimum order is €1,000 net, and the design starts at €500 net.

Motif, surface, size and working height determine the quote. With several surfaces at the same location or a commission across several locations, travel and setup time can be planned together. An interior wall rarely needs an anti-graffiti coating. On surfaces that are touched often, a matte clear coat can make sense.

All prices are subject to 19 percent VAT. We list the individual services and the fixed price in the quote. You'll find more explanations under Prices and in the post How much does a graffiti commission cost?.

How early should we plan the design?#

Plan on four to six weeks from order to finished work. For renovations, we coordinate the execution with your schedule.

It starts with photos, measurements, budget and preferred date. Then come the preliminary quote and the design. You first approve the design, then the final quote. We explain each step in the post The process from design to sign-off.
