15 Dec Wall Murals and Wall Decals for Vancouver Professional Service Businesses
Most people don’t associate wall murals with Vancouver professional services companies. Murals conjure up images of the Sistine Chapel, large-scale paintings on the sides of buildings, or scenes of quaint villages painted on the plaster walls of old-world restaurants. While those are good examples, murals have a much broader range of applications.
Professional services businesses use wall murals (and wall decals) to advertise their brand and services, reinforce messaging and culture, and as part of the interior design of their place of business. The mural’s close cousin, the wall decal, may be used in much the same way.
What Kind of Professional Services Businesses Use Wall Murals?
Any professional services business with offices (or a building) may use wall murals, including:
- Lawyers
- Accountants
- Financial advisors
- Actuaries
- Engineers
- Architects
- Management consultants
- Large presence web companies
- Advertising and marketing
- Other consulting firms
What is a Wall Mural?
Prior to digitized artwork and large-scale printers, wall murals were large pictures painted directly onto a wall. Today, murals are usually oversized photos or digitized artwork affixed to a wall. Murals can often cover an entire wall from floor to ceiling.
What is a Wall Decal?
Wall murals are sometimes created entirely with wall decals or may incorporate decals. Simply put, a wall decal is an adhesive-backed graphic or lettering. Individual decals don’t usually cover an entire wall like a mural does, but many decals arranged on a wall may be used to create a mural effect.
