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 the last element we want to share from this residential project in New Orleans we did a while back (please see our previous few posts for more)! We created a mural by interpreting an image from a publication that inspired the homeowner. It’s classic imagery of an English Garden Square is a bit wistful along with the individuals bringing a slightly “ghostly” feel. The finishing touch is the frame, which we goldleafed, giving the mural a gallery painting look. Overall, it’s a beautiful and tranquil addition to the home’s guestroom.
Sylvia T Designs is the region’s premier decorative arts firm that, along with many other services, can deliver expert custom mural work. If you can dream it up, we can make it happen, making your space a work of art!

Hey All! Here’s a little more from the mural we delivered in the powder room of a New Orleans residence (see our previous post.) The mural wraps around three walls of the space and boasts a lush, dreamy New Orleans theme. We’ll be sharing a couple more elements we delivered elsewhere in the home soon!

Here’s another spot in the Lakeview, New Orleans residence where we delivered a couple terrific elements. (Please see the striking archway in our previous two posts.) This is from the front powder room. We applied gold leaf to the crown molding. The main feature in the room is the New Orleans-themed mural we painted around three of the walls. You can only see a portion here, but it adds a dream-like quality to the space!

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!

Sylvia T Designs - Chinoiserie Sample. We're developing a concept for a hand-handpainted Chinoiserie design for a residence in New Orleans. This panel shows the development of the concept that will, eventually, be an all-over Chinoiserie mural in the home. The overall feeling as well as many of the design elements we've created for this large project is reflected in the mural design!

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!

Instead of using passé wallpaper, customize your space with a beautiful handpainted mural. The possibilities are endless. We can bring your idea to life!
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.
