We paint hand-painted murals for offices, headquarters and corporate interiors across Los Angeles: lobbies, open-plan floors, stairwells, meeting rooms and building exteriors. Recent work includes wrapping the AI company Omen’s new headquarters in Irvine and a full-building mural for Coca-Cola. Projects start at $7,500.
Why companies paint their walls
An office mural does three things a printed graphic does not. It gives a space an identity that belongs to one company rather than one landlord. It gives people a reason to photograph the room, which quietly does recruiting work every time someone posts from the office. And it signals commitment: a painted wall says somebody spent two weeks on this building, which reads differently to staff and visitors than vinyl applied in an afternoon.
The practical brief is usually one of three things. A company has moved into a generic shell and needs it to feel like theirs. A headquarters wants one wall that carries the brand without turning the office into a billboard. Or a business wants the exterior to be recognizable from the street. Those are different projects and we scope them differently.
Where murals actually work in an office
Reception and lobby. The highest-value wall in the building, because everyone sees it and it sets the tone before anyone speaks. Usually one considered piece rather than a busy one, designed around the sightline from the entrance and whatever the reception desk blocks.
Open-plan floors. These reward scale and restraint. A large graphic wall at the end of a floor gives an otherwise flat space depth, and it has to work as background rather than distraction, because people sit facing it for eight hours.
Stairwells and corridors. The most underused surfaces in most buildings, and often the best value, because they are large, they are seen constantly, and nobody expects anything there.
Meeting and conference rooms. These end up on camera in every video call, which is worth thinking about deliberately rather than by accident.
Building exteriors. The biggest statement and the biggest project. An exterior corporate wall is what turns a building into a landmark people give directions by. It also needs UV-resistant paint, a protective coating, and in the City of Los Angeles, registration before painting starts.
Omen AI: a headquarters, painted
The clearest example of what a corporate wall can do is the Omen AI headquarters in Irvine, where we painted the building exterior as a single continuous piece rather than a logo applied to a wall. It reads as architecture rather than signage, which is the difference between a building people recognize and a building with a sign on it. See the Omen AI project, and the Coca-Cola Frontier Spirit mural for the same approach at full building scale.
Painting an office that is still being used
Most corporate work happens around an operating business, and that shapes the schedule more than the artwork does. Interior office murals are normally painted evenings and weekends, in screened sections, with flooring and furniture protected and low-odor products so the space is usable the next morning. A single feature wall is typically two to four days. A multi-area program runs one to three weeks.
Two things worth raising early on leased space. Landlord approval is usually required, and it is much easier to obtain with a rendered preview in hand, which we produce before painting anyway. And it is worth agreeing at the outset whether the artwork is expected to be removed at the end of the lease, because a mural can be painted over conventionally where a wrap has to be stripped.
How the project runs
- Consultation. The space, what the company wants the room to say, and who signs off.
- Concept and preview. You see the design rendered on a photograph of your actual wall, revised until approved. This is also the document that gets landlord and executive sign-off.
- Scheduling. Built around your operating hours, not ours.
- Preparation. Surface cleaning, patching and priming, site protection.
- Painting and finish. Including protective coating where the wall needs it, full cleanup, and professional photography of the finished piece.
What it costs
A single interior office wall at moderate detail generally starts around our $7,500 minimum. Larger interiors, multi-area programs, higher-detail work and full building exteriors go up from there depending on scale, access and surface. Because we quote per project rather than per wall, doing several areas in one mobilisation costs considerably less than commissioning them separately. The full breakdown is in our 2026 Los Angeles mural pricing guide.

Office mural questions
How much does an office mural cost?
A single interior wall at moderate detail generally starts around $7,500. Larger interiors, multi-area programs and full building exteriors go up from there. We quote per project, so several areas painted in one visit cost less than commissioning them one at a time.
Do we have to close the office while you paint?
No. Office interiors are normally painted evenings and weekends, in screened sections with flooring and furniture protected, using low-odor products so the space is usable the next working morning.
Can we paint a mural in leased office space?
Usually yes, with landlord approval. That approval is far easier to get with a rendered preview of the design on your actual wall, which we produce before any painting begins. Agree upfront whether the artwork needs removing at lease end; a mural can be painted over conventionally, unlike a wrap that has to be stripped.
How long does an office mural take?
Design runs one to two weeks including revisions. Painting is two to four days for a single feature wall and one to three weeks for a multi-area program. Exterior walls in the City of Los Angeles need registering first, which adds lead time.
Can the mural include our logo and brand colors?
Interior work, yes, entirely. Exteriors in the City of Los Angeles are different: artwork carrying a commercial message is treated as signage rather than a mural, under separate rules. Our permit guide explains where that line sits.
Which wall should we paint?
Reception has the highest impact. Stairwells and corridors are usually the best value, since they are large, constantly seen, and nobody expects artwork there. Meeting rooms are worth considering deliberately because they appear in every video call.
Do you work outside Los Angeles?
Yes. Orange County, San Diego and the wider Southern California region regularly, and nationally for larger commissions. Recent corporate work includes Irvine and Abilene, Texas.
