Where Artistry Begins
Chinoiserie, florals, skies and scenes painted by hand straight onto the wall, drawn around your doors and windows, for Coventry homes and venues.
Murals in Coventry are painted by hand, straight onto your wall, and drawn to that wall alone. Zavoré is based in Birmingham, where our Academy is, and our own artists paint across the UK. Nothing is printed and nothing repeats, so a room gets one picture made for it. To begin, send photographs of the wall and any ideas you like, whether that is blossom, a garden, a sky or a scene with meaning for you.
Coventry grew rich on cloth, ribbons and watches, and its older streets still carry that craft pride. Painting a wall by hand carries on the same instinct. The Victorian houses of Earlsdon, Chapelfields and Cheylesmore often have a generous dining room or a deep hallway, and a mural in either turns an ordinary room into the one visitors talk about.
Smaller rooms work too. A children's bedroom with a woodland climbing around the window, or a landing with a slow sky, gives a modest 1930s semi a lift that wallpaper rarely manages. Because the painting follows your doors, alcoves and ceiling line, there are no seams and no pattern repeat to fight.
A hand painted piece also differs from a printed one in depth. Printed murals and printed chinoiserie wallpaper come off a roll in set widths. Ours is brushwork, and it can change as it develops.
Chinoiserie is a favourite for dining rooms. Branches, blossom and birds are painted straight onto the wall, or onto gold leaf, silver leaf or grasscloth, in the tradition of the hand painted Chinese wallpapers that British country houses prized in the 1700s. Floral and botanical murals use large scale flowers and foliage with real depth, from one statement bloom to a whole garden.
Scenes and figures suit venues. Restaurants, bars, gyms and hotels in the city can carry landscapes, skies, classical figures or bold large pieces that give a place its own face. Take a look at our murals page for the full list of styles.
You send photographs of the wall, its size and the style or references you like. We survey before pricing, considering the surface, cracks, damp and movement, and tell you plainly if the wall needs work first. The design is then agreed from your brief, sketches or references, before any paint goes on.
Our artists paint on site. Larger Coventry commissions are planned in blocks of days so the artist stays with the wall until it is finished, and dates are agreed once the design and price are signed off. Our hand painted murals page sets out how the commission works from brief to finish.
If you want gold or silver leaf behind the painting, the leaf goes on first and the painting follows. That pairing is one of the most striking things we do.
We teach what we install, and our training courses run at our centres in Birmingham, London and Manchester, the same courses at each. A mural also sits well on a calm plaster wall beside it, and our decorative work page shows what else can share a room.
A painted wall invites company. Gold leaf under the paint is explained in gilding in Coventry, and a carved picture beside it belongs to bas relief in Coventry. Sculpted forms are under sculptural plaster in Coventry, while a mosaic border or splashback sits in mosaics in Coventry. Above the painting you may want cornice and coving in Coventry, and a glossy hallway opposite could be lacquered walls in Coventry. For the garden there is artificial rock in Coventry, and for a stone effect plaster, travertino in Coventry. Start from our decorative finishes specialist in Coventry page, or read about Venetian plastering in Coventry for smooth lime walls.
