Hand-Painted Mural Installation
Bespoke hand-painted murals and feature artwork on walls across Ghana — artist-led, painted on-site to your own imagery, scene or brand story. Custom design, surface preparation, sealed and protected finish. Wallpapers Ghana, since 1985.
A hand-painted mural is original artwork created directly on your wall by an artist — not a print, not a sticker, but a one-of-a-kind feature painted by hand to your own imagery, scene, or brand story. Wallpapers Ghana has designed and painted bespoke murals and feature walls across Accra since 1985, treating each wall as a commission rather than a catalogue product.
Why Choose a Hand-Painted Mural
A printed mural repeats a fixed image; a hand-painted mural is made for one wall and exists nowhere else. It can follow a curved wall, wrap a corner, scale to a double-height atrium, carry fine detail a print cannot, and be changed in concept right up to the day painting begins. For a feature living wall, a child’s room, a restaurant statement wall, or a corporate reception that has to say something specific, the hand-painted route gives a result that is yours alone.
Choosing the Right Mural for Your Wall
The wall and the setting decide the approach. A bold abstract or landscape suits a large living or reception wall; fine narrative detail suits a focal alcove; a brand or logo wall suits a corporate reception or retail space; playful themed artwork suits a child’s or play room. Surface matters too — a hand-painted finish forgives an irregular or curved wall that a printed panel cannot follow. We advise the concept, scale, and protection to the wall and the room before any paint is mixed.

Hand-Painted Mural vs Printed Mural vs Wallpaper
| Approach | Best for | Look | Surface tolerance | Cost basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-painted mural | One-off feature walls, fine detail, brand walls | Unique original artwork | Forgives curves, corners, irregular walls | On survey (bespoke) |
| Printed mural | Exact photographic imagery, fast jobs | Sharp repeatable print | Best on flat, prepared walls | Per design + area |
| Standard wallpaper | Pattern, texture, full-room covering | Repeating pattern or texture | Flat, prepared walls | Per roll + hang |

How We Design & Paint a Mural
- Brief & concept — imagery, scene, or brand story agreed; artist sketches a concept to the room and wall size.
- Surface preparation — wall filled, sanded, and sealed with the right primer for the substrate so the artwork bonds and lasts.
- Layout & on-site painting — composition set out on the wall; the mural painted by hand on site, built in layers and refined.
- Seal, protect & handover — protective clear coat applied where the location calls for it; work cleaned down and handed over.
Materials & Standards
- Hand-painted murals are a craft — there is no product standard for original artwork; quality comes from surface preparation, artist-grade paints, and a protective coat suited to the location, not from a certificate
- Surface preparation to the substrate — correct filling, sanding, and priming of plaster, drywall, or block so the artwork bonds flat and lasts
- Artist-grade paints — low-odour, durable interior paints selected for colour-hold and washability
- Protective top coat — a clear protective coat applied in high-traffic and humid areas so the finish wipes clean and holds its colour
- Each commission is owned end-to-end and handed over in writing
What Affects the Cost
- The wall size (sqm) and whether the surface is sound or needs preparation and repair
- The detail and complexity of the artwork — a bold simple feature vs fine narrative or photo-realistic detail
- Access — a standard wall vs a double-height, stairwell, or hard-to-reach surface
- Whether a protective sealing coat is required for the location
Every quote follows a free site survey — a mural is bespoke, so no flat rate is given before the wall is seen and the concept is agreed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and a printed wallpaper mural? A hand-painted mural is original artwork created directly on your wall by an artist — every brushstroke is unique. A printed mural is a custom-printed wallcovering applied to the wall. Hand-painting suits one-of-a-kind feature walls, fine detail, and curved walls; printing suits exact-repeat imagery and faster jobs. We do both and advise which fits.
Can you paint our own image, logo, or photo as a mural? Yes — we work from your reference (a photo, logo, sketch, or described mood) and the artist interprets it onto the wall at full scale. We agree a concept sketch before any paint touches the wall.
How long does a hand-painted mural last in Ghana’s climate? A correctly prepared and sealed mural lasts for years indoors — longevity comes from the surface preparation, artist-grade paints, and a protective coat suited to the location. We seal murals in high-traffic and humid areas so they wipe clean.
How much does a hand-painted mural cost in Ghana? It is priced on survey — a mural is bespoke, so the cost depends on the wall size, the detail and complexity of the artwork, the surface condition, and access. We give a firm itemised quote after seeing the wall and agreeing the concept.
