🎨 How to Price a Mural | Atlanta-Based Muralist
Commissioning a mural is an exciting way to bring color, culture, and meaning to any space. Whether it’s for a community wall, a corporate interior, or a large public project, mural pricing depends on a few key factors. As an experienced muralist, I aim to make the process transparent and collaborative—ensuring that clients understand the value behind the art.
🧩 What Factors Determine the Cost of a Mural?
Here are the main elements I consider when pricing a mural:
1. Size & Scale
The larger the mural, the more time, materials, and preparation it will require. A 10’x10’ mural is a different commitment than a 100-foot-long wall.
🔹 Average Rate: Starting at $20–$50 per square foot (depending on complexity)
2. Surface Preparation
Walls need to be clean, primed, and in good condition. If repairs, sealing, or priming are needed, this will affect the final price.
3. Design Complexity
A mural with abstract patterns or large shapes is faster to execute than a detailed portrait or historical scene. The more intricate the work, the more hours of planning and painting are required.
4. Location & Accessibility
Is the wall indoors or outdoors? On a second story? Will scaffolding or lifts be required? These logistics impact equipment, safety measures, and timing.
5. Client Collaboration
Some clients come with a fully developed idea; others need concept sketches and revisions. I provide options that include design consultation, mockups, and visual planning.
6. Timeframe
Urgent deadlines may require additional labor or longer work days to meet the schedule, which can influence cost.
