Where Artistry Begins
Chinoiserie blossom, oversized florals, skies or a scene of your own, painted straight onto the wall and designed for that room alone.
A hand painted wall is a quiet luxury, and murals in Surrey are a good way to give a house a story. Zavoré is based in Birmingham, and our nearest showroom and training centre in London is open by appointment. Our artisans paint each mural by hand onto your wall, so nothing comes off a roll and nothing repeats.
Send a photo of the wall, its size and any colours or pictures you like, and we begin there.
Surrey has many houses with a garden at the back and a view of it from the dining room, and a mural can continue that view indoors. A wisteria branch wrapping a doorway, a meadow under a high sky, or a woodland edge in a hall all feel at home in a county of heath, woods and hills.
Chinoiserie suits the grander rooms. Hand painted Chinese wallpapers reached British country houses in the 1700s, and a painted version today follows that tradition, with branches, blossom and birds climbing around your windows, even over a gold or silver leaf background.
Older houses give a mural something to sit on. Limewash or a marmorino background gives the painting a soft, aged depth, and we can do the plaster and the painting together.
At home the favourites are dining rooms, hallways, stairwells, ceilings and children's rooms. For business, a restaurant, bar, hotel or shop can have its identity painted into the wall, including logos and lettering. Read more on our murals page.
Printed murals and printed chinoiserie come in set widths with seams and a repeat. A painted mural is drawn to your wall, around your doors and ceiling line, and can change as it develops.
Send photos and the size of the wall. We sketch the mural to the scale of the wall and agree the colours with you before any paint goes on.
The wall is prepared and the mural is painted in your space, then sealed where it needs it, such as a busy hallway or a commercial room, so it can be wiped clean. Our hand painted murals page explains the work in more detail.
We survey the wall first, since a mural on a sound, properly prepared wall lasts for years. Dates are agreed after the design and price are signed off, and a big scheme can be planned in blocks of days so the painter stays on the job. If you want a plaster background as well, the sample board is the place to look.
We teach what we install, at our training centres in Birmingham, London and Manchester, and the training page lists the courses. Murals pair with many finishes, and our decorative work page shows how.
A mural often leads to other work. A gold leaf background is gilding in Surrey, a carved companion is bas relief in Surrey, and a textured neighbour is sculptural plaster in Surrey. Above it all, the ceiling edge could be cornice and coving in Surrey, nearby walls lacquered walls in Surrey, and bathrooms mosaics in Surrey. Outdoors is artificial rock in Surrey, and a calm stone wall is travertino in Surrey. A decorative finishes specialist in Surrey can plan it all, with Venetian plastering in Surrey as the quiet backdrop.
Yes. Every mural is designed for the client. Bring a photograph, mood board, sketch or just a feeling you want the room to have.
A mural is any painting made directly on a wall or ceiling. A fresco is one kind, painted into fresh lime plaster. Most modern murals are painted onto a prepared, dry wall.
Yes. A gilded background in gold or silver leaf with blossom, branches and birds painted over it is one of the most striking ways to finish a feature wall or alcove.
A mural on a sound, properly prepared wall lasts for years. Where a wall gets heavy wear, we seal it so it can be cleaned.
