We can tell your story in a custom designed and hand-painted mural bringing your vision to life.
Murals
A mural is more than just imagery, it’s a story and it’s your story! At Sylvia T. Designs, we have been telling stories through our mural work for more than 20 years in both residential and commercial settings.
We work to take your idea, a concept, or, simply, an inspiration to develop the mural. We start with sketches and an iterative process as we collaborate with you to bring the scene to life. We then take it to scaled, colored drawings before the actual mural painting begins. This allows our clients to know exactly what the end result will be.
Sylvia T Designs can create murals in various themes and styles from classical, Old World, Chinoiserie, nature, children, to anything you can dream up! We utilize various techniques, including the use of glazes to create striking depth and character.
Our murals can complement your space or can become the singular focus your room. If you can imagine it, we can paint it!
Here’s another vid from our recent mural project for our friends at Liz’s Where Y’At in Mandeville! This is the mural we created on the main building. It’s full of fun, sun, and flamingos! They’re open for go-food and it’s super tasty – check them out!
Sylvia T Designs is your New Orleans area mural experts – commercial, residential, classic, or contemporary! Let us know how we can help bring your story to life in a mural – large or small!

Here’s another special area from our recent luxury condo remodel just outside the French Quarter on Basin St. Our clients wanted something special and unique created in this total bathroom remodel. The showstopper is our hand-painted Chinoiserie mural. We also selected the tile in the shower/tub, the fixtures, the countertop, and lighting pendants as well as the floor and custom-built vanity (not pictured). Hey – we all spend a good amount of time in the bathroom – might as well be a cool space, too!

The decorative arts are often misunderstood or, at least, not well understood. It is much more than faux finishes and simple sponge applications. They incorporate many techniques and long-standing traditions, often dating back millennia. Our latest feature, “What is Today’s Decorative Artist,” discusses some of the history and trades they encompass today. We also let you know how, here at Sylvia T Designs, we seek to honor and master the varied techniques found in this rich heritage and how we also deliver inspired artistry and craftsmanship to realize its future.
You can see the feature on our website here - http://bit.ly/SylviaTDesigns-DecorativeArtist1 - or just click the link in our profile! Pictured: part of a finished and gold-leafed (gilded) archway in a New Orleans residence. Gilding is just one example of a time-honored decorative arts craft.

A lot of people are asking about wallpaper these days. If you're into that, that's cool. But, you might want to consider some compelling reasons to not be! Think about a decoratively painted finish instead. From plaster finishes to all-over stencils to murals, we can create something for you that is truly original and avoids many of the pitfalls associated with wallpaper!

This mural, called "The English Garden," creates a striking centerpiece to the bedroom!

Our beautiful handpainted chinoiserie mural design makes an elegant statement lining the walls in our client's dining room. This is an excellant alternative to wallpaper, durable, and can easily be touched up. More from this exciting French Quarter historic residential project coming soon!

We glazed the walls and ceilings then painted butterflies in this mater bath. The handpainted design is not only beautiful, it's also very practical! By not applying wallpaper, especially in the humid climate of New Orleans, the approach ensures the longevity of the finish in this historic French Quarter residence!
The design we painted is based on de Gournay butterfly fabric that was used throughout most of the home.
