Where Artistry Begins
Hand painted murals for Nottingham dining rooms, stairwells and venues, designed for one wall and painted by our own artisans.
Murals in Nottingham turn a plain wall into the centrepiece of the room, hand painted for that space alone. Zavoré supplies, installs and teaches authentic Italian lime based Venetian plaster and other decorative finishes, and our own artisans also paint bespoke murals. We are based in Birmingham, where the Academy is, and we work across the UK.
Each mural is painted, never printed, drawn around your doors, windows, alcoves and ceiling line. Start by sending a photo of the wall, its size and your ideas.
Nottingham has plenty of rooms that ask for a painted wall. The big Victorian villas of the Park Estate have tall dining rooms and halls with long stairwells. Edwardian houses in West Bridgford have generous bay fronted rooms. In the Lace Market, converted warehouse flats have large clean walls with few features.
The city offers its own subjects too. A woodland scene can borrow from Sherwood Forest, a river landscape from the Trent, and a botanical wall can echo the lace patterns the city once made. Chinoiserie, in the tradition of hand painted wallpaper in British country houses, suits a formal dining room.
At home, murals suit dining rooms, drawing rooms, hallways, stairwells, ceilings and children's rooms. In hospitality they give a restaurant, bar, cafe or hotel its own identity, and in business they work for offices, receptions and shop interiors, including branding painted into the scene.
A mural can be painted straight on your wall, or onto gold leaf, silver leaf or grasscloth. Over a limewash or marmorino background it picks up the soft movement of the plaster below, which gives it an aged, fresco like depth. Our murals page explains the styles in more detail.
We ask for photos of the wall, the measurements and any colours or images you love. We sketch the mural to the scale of your wall and agree the colours with you before any paint goes on. We survey the wall first, since the painting needs a sound surface, and tell you plainly if it needs work.
Because Nottingham is some way from our Birmingham base, the painting is planned in blocks of days so the artist stays on the job. Dates are agreed once the design and price are signed off. In a busy hallway or a commercial space the finished mural can be sealed so it wipes clean. The process is set out on our hand painted murals page.
Everything we install, we teach, with the same courses at our Birmingham, London and Manchester centres, listed on the training page. Murals combine well with plaster, gilding and mouldings, and our decorative work overview has ideas.
A painted wall can be paired with a sculpted one. See bas relief in Nottingham and sculptural plaster in Nottingham for raised work, and gilding in Nottingham for the gold leaf grounds that chinoiserie loves.

Painted by hand, directly on your wall. A printed mural comes off a roll with seams and a repeat, while ours is drawn to your exact wall.
Yes. Bring a photograph, a mood board, a sketch or just a feeling you want the room to have, and we turn it into a design for your wall.
Yes. Chinoiserie in particular can be painted onto gold leaf, silver leaf or grasscloth, which gives a rich background.
Where the wall needs it, such as a busy hallway or a commercial space, the finished mural is sealed so it can be wiped clean.
