Interior Illustration & Mural Design

Interior artwork and mural design that begin with the place around them.

A single framed image, a connected series or an illustration planned at wall scale. Adelya develops artwork around the atmosphere, proportions and everyday life of a space.

Think about the room.
Then think about the picture.

A focal artwork

An image that gives a room a point of attention. Its subject, scale and palette can respond to the furniture, light and the distance from which it will be seen. A quieter room may need a different kind of presence than a busy public space.

A connected series

Several pieces can create continuity across a wall or a sequence of rooms. Related motifs and colors give them something in common without requiring every image to repeat the same composition.

Wall-scale illustration

A mural or large printed artwork needs to be planned around the actual surface. Doors, corners, fixtures and viewing distances affect the design. Artwork creation, physical production and installation are agreed as separate parts of the project.

The Blue Fish project explores how an illustrated character and visual identity can appear in an environmental setting. It was made in the context of a masterclass, not as a completed commercial installation.

A presentation like this can help discuss scale and atmosphere before anyone commits to fabrication. For a real project, the actual dimensions, materials and installation constraints must replace the assumptions of the concept.

A brief with
the surroundings attached.

Send photographs of the space, approximate measurements and the wall or area you have in mind. Include the colors, materials and lighting that will sit beside the artwork, plus anything that must remain visible or unobstructed.

For a home, the subject may be personal: a remembered place, a botanical image or a collection of small paintings. For a business, explain the audience and the role of the artwork in the wider identity.

Interior designers and project teams can provide a more developed specification. Identify who will handle printing, framing, materials and installation so the handoff can be planned around their requirements.

Resolve the practical things
before the final detail.

1. Place & purpose

Review the space, intended atmosphere, audience and required format. Agree the design scope, budget, rights, review stages and schedule.

2. Composition in context

Develop the agreed sketches or placement studies. Review the relationship between the artwork and the room rather than judging the image alone on a screen.

3. Artwork development

Refine the approved direction and prepare the design for the specified dimensions and method of reproduction. Production changes may require the artwork to be adapted.

4. Production handoff

Supply the agreed files or original work. Site preparation, manufacturing, travel and installation are only included when explicitly confirmed in the written order.

Before you measure the wall.

Do you paint murals on site?

Ask about the location, surface, size and timing before assuming on-site work is available. This page presents artwork and design capabilities; travel, site preparation and physical painting require a separate confirmation.

Can you design artwork for our local printer or installer?

Share their technical requirements and explain who is responsible for the final production proof. File dimensions, resolution, color specifications and panel divisions should be agreed before final artwork is prepared.

Can we see a mockup in our space first?

A placement study can be included in the project scope. It helps discuss composition and scale, but is not a guarantee of exact printed color, material texture or the final installation result.

How much does interior illustration cost?

The quote depends on the number of artworks, complexity, size, medium, production requirements and usage. A framed personal piece and a large commercial wall design are different projects. See the pricing guide for the questions that shape a quote.

Can the same artwork be used in several locations?

Describe the locations and reproductions needed before ordering. The licence and production scope should cover the intended rollout rather than assuming one commission includes unlimited reuse.

Do you also provide full interior design?

This service centres on illustration and artwork for a space, not architectural or full interior-design services. For help shaping the artwork brief, explore artwork planning. General conditions are in the current terms.

Put this direction into a useful brief.

Bring a relevant portfolio example and describe what you like about it: the handling of colour, the expression, the texture or the composition. Then describe your own subject and where the artwork will appear. The reference starts the discussion; the new work is developed for your particular purpose.
