In modern interior design, art is no longer an afterthought. It’s a strategic design element that defines how people experience a space. Among the most powerful forms of commercial art, murals stand out for their ability to combine visual storytelling, architectural integration, and emotional connection.
At LS Art Consulting, our expert commercial art consultants specialize in creating custom murals that enrich hospitality, cruise, and corporate environments. From concept to fabrication and installation, every project is crafted to align with brand identity, elevate guest experience, and bring spaces to life through art.
Murals That Bring Hospitality Spaces to Life
In the world of hospitality design, first impressions are everything. A thoughtfully placed mural can completely transform the atmosphere of a hotel lobby, restaurant, or guest corridor, creating a memorable and welcoming environment.
Imagine a resort lobby featuring a sweeping hand-painted mural inspired by the surrounding landscape. Imagine soft brushstrokes that echo palm trees swaying in the wind, or abstract color gradients that mimic the golden glow of a sunset. In a boutique hotel, a mural might tell the story of the region’s culture, weaving together motifs, textures, and tones that immerse guests in the local experience.
For luxury brands, murals can serve as extensions of the brand’s essence: elegant, refined, and cohesive with the property’s interior design. They don’t just fill a wall; they create a sense of place. As a specialized form of commercial art, these installations set the tone instantly.
Murals at Sea: The Art of Movement and Escape
On a cruise ship, art has the unique ability to transform enclosed areas into expansive experiences. Murals on board can evoke the sensation of being surrounded by water, with sweeping blue hues, fluid shapes, and reflective materials that mimic the movement of waves.
In corridors and lounges, murals might depict ocean currents, schools of fish, or abstract interpretations of tides and horizons that invite passengers to feel connected to the journey itself. In dining areas, large-scale wall installations could celebrate global destinations, turning each meal into a visual voyage.
Our custom fabrication team often works with marine-grade materials that withstand humidity, salt, and constant movement at sea. Whether printed on brushed aluminum, acrylic panels, or textured wallcoverings, these murals maintain their vibrancy and structural integrity for years.
Each mural becomes more than décor. It becomes part of the storytelling that defines the cruise experience: freedom, exploration, and discovery. Our commercial art advisors work closely with maritime designers to achieve this.
Corporate Mural Art That Inspires
Corporate mural art serves as a powerful visual tool to communicate identity, culture, and innovation. It can transform office spaces from functional to inspirational, energizing both employees and visitors.
Custom murals for businesses might feature imagery that reflects the company’s mission, such as abstract visuals representing connection and growth, or portraits of team members symbolizing collaboration and impact. In lobbies, murals can display the company’s history through illustrated timelines or artistic renditions of milestones. In conference rooms, a modern, minimalist mural might integrate words from the company’s values or mission statement, reinforcing purpose in everyday interactions.
Beyond aesthetics, these murals cultivate pride and a sense of belonging. They remind employees that their work matters and that their efforts ripple outward and make a difference.
Material Innovation Meets Artistry
Modern murals go far beyond paint. Our commercial art advisors at LS Art Consulting specialize in blending artistry with custom fabrication, using materials such as:
- Digitally printed wallcoverings for precision and scalability.
- Metal, glass, and acrylic panels for dimensional depth and reflection.
- Mixed-media installations that layer texture, light, and shadow for immersive experiences.
For hospitality and cruise applications, our team ensures materials meet specific environmental and safety standards including moisture resistance, fire ratings, and long-term durability. For corporate spaces, we focus on materials that complement clean, architectural finishes while maintaining a sophisticated look. Each piece is meticulously curated and fabricated to ensure quality, longevity, and seamless integration with the surrounding design.
Why Murals Matter: Art as Experience
Across all industries — hospitality, cruise, and corporate — murals play a vital role in creating emotional connection. They can transport, inspire, and engage. They make spaces memorable.
In a hotel, a mural becomes a conversation starter. On a cruise ship, it becomes part of the journey. In an office, it becomes a daily reminder of shared goals and values. Effective art consulting for commercial design harnesses this power to create spaces that resonate.
By combining design, art, and brand storytelling, LS Art Consulting transforms ordinary walls into extraordinary experiences. Our art consultants collaborate with leading interior designers, architects, and developers to deliver murals that are not only visually stunning but purpose-driven, each one telling a story that resonates.
Here are a few examples of our mural projects:
Caribbean Hotel Hand-Painted Ceiling Mural
For a luxury resort in the Caribbean, we created a breathtaking hand-painted ceiling mural depicting fish swimming through water. The artistry and technique made the imagery appear three-dimensional and immersive, giving guests the feeling of being underwater. This project beautifully demonstrates how custom murals can redefine a space, blending fine art and architectural design to create a memorable visual experience that connects guests with their surroundings.
Printed Mural on Cruise Ship
On board the Norwegian Cruise Line’s LUNA ship, we designed and produced custom imagery for one of their restaurants, featuring colorful birds and tropical flowers. These large-format prints were created on a specialized, Coast Guard–approved wall covering, ensuring both durability and compliance for maritime use. The vibrant design adds warmth and energy to the dining environment, reflecting the spirit of the restaurant while showcasing our ability to merge art, design, and functionality in complex hospitality spaces.
