MURAL INFO



Thank you for your interest in commissioning a mural by Craft Queen STL®.

Each mural is treated as a one-of-a-kind large-scale artwork designed specifically for the space, atmosphere, and vision of the client. My work combines fine art quality, bold graffiti influence, professional-grade materials, and immersive design to create statement pieces that transform environments and leave a lasting impact.

Every project is custom quoted based on artistic complexity, scale, surface conditions, and installation requirements. This guide is intended to help provide a general understanding of the mural process and investment expectations.

Luxury Mural Investment & Process

Mural Pricing Factors

Custom mural pricing is determined by several elements including:

  • Artistic detail and realism
  • Overall mural size and wall accessibility
  • Number of colors and complexity of composition
  • Custom design development
  • Surface preparation requirements
  • Specialty finishes and protective coatings
  • Equipment and installation logistics
  • Indoor vs. outdoor application
  • Timeline and project scheduling

Craft Queen STL® murals are created using premium professional-grade materials including high-performance spray paints, artist-quality acrylics, industrial primers/sealers, UV protection, and commercial clear coatings designed for longevity and vibrancy.

Design & Creative Direction

A non-refundable creative design retainer of $750 is required before design work begins.

This includes:

  • Initial consultation
  • Creative direction and concept development
  • Digital mural mockups placed directly onto your wall/photo
  • Color palette development
  • Up to 3 design revisions

Additional revisions beyond the included concepts may be billed at $150 per revision depending on complexity.

For highly custom or large-scale commercial projects, additional design consultation fees may apply.

Investment Range

Craft Queen STL® specializes in premium large-scale murals with pricing generally ranging from:

$25–$100+ per square foot

with a $2,500 project minimum

Highly detailed, immersive, luxury, realism, or statement murals may exceed this range depending on scale and complexity.

Pricing includes:

  • Custom design work
  • Professional labor
  • Premium materials
  • Standard equipment
  • Installation
  • Artist insurance coverage

Pricing does not include:

  • Structural wall repairs
  • Extensive surface restoration
  • Specialty lifts/scaffolding beyond standard access
  • Electrical or construction modifications
  • Extensive priming/sealing
  • Travel/lodging for long-distance projects

Surface Preparation

The integrity of the wall surface directly impacts the longevity and quality of the mural.

Exterior surfaces should be professionally cleaned and properly cured prior to installation. Brick, concrete, stucco, and porous materials often require commercial-grade masonry primer/sealer before painting begins.

Surface preparation and priming services can be added starting at:

$5–$10 per square foot

depending on wall condition and material.

Any unforeseen surface issues requiring additional labor will be billed separately at:

$75 per hour

if conditions cannot reasonably be identified before the project begins.

Booking & Payment Terms

To secure mural dates, a materials and scheduling deposit of 50% of the total project cost is required prior to project start.

Remaining balance is due upon completion unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

Due to high demand and project scheduling, mural dates are reserved on a first-paid basis.

When hiring Craft Queen STL®, you are investing in:

  • A completely original artwork
  • High-end artistic execution
  • Professional project communication
  • Durable commercial-quality materials
  • A visually impactful piece designed specifically for your space

Whether the goal is a bold statement wall, immersive business environment, luxury residential feature, or large-scale public artwork, every mural is designed to elevate the space and create a memorable visual experience.

Thank you again for your consideration.

I look forward to creating something incredible with you.
