Commercial walls have a different brief from homes. They have to survive elbows, trolleys and a cleaner with a wet mop; they have to photograph well for the Instagram check-in; they have to say what the business is without a sign; and they have to be up by Monday. Here is how we handle each type of space, the finishes that hold up, what to send us, and the trade terms.

For the brief

  • One wall per zone: reception, the wall behind the counter, the corridor, the meeting room. Not every wall.
  • Finishes for touch and cleaning: Lustre Satin (₹170/sq ft) and Leather Grain (₹190); both take repeated wiping.
  • Your own brand pattern, artwork or photography prints at the same rates as our designs.
  • A 400 sq ft café wall: brief Monday, proof Tuesday, dispatch Thursday, installed the following Monday.
  • Trade pricing, priority production, GST invoice, free shipping across India, proof on every job.

Reception and brand walls

A single textured wall behind the desk with the logo applied separately (a cut acrylic or brass sign, or a printed panel). Raw concrete and travertine read as considered without dating, and a brass strip or a lit sign completes the branding. For architects and design studios, a blueprint wall is the obvious in-joke that clients like.

Cafés and restaurants

Give people one wall worth sitting in front of. Brick colonnades, shuttered facades and arch repeats all frame a table and read well on a phone camera at 10 p.m. under warm light. Put it on the wall opposite the entrance so it is in every photo taken from the door, and light it with warm spots rather than the general ceiling light.

Clinics, salons and studios

Calm, wipeable, non-clinical. Soft landscapes and cloud skies for waiting areas and dental chairs (the ceiling-facing patient sees the wall in the mirror), a city skyline for a lounge, risograph shapes for a creative studio, a limewash texture for a salon that wants to look expensive.

Offices: meeting rooms and corridors

Meeting rooms take one calm textured wall on the camera-facing side (video calls) and nothing busy behind the screen. Corridors take a durable finish and a long landscape or a subtle grid that carries the eye along. Cabin walls stay plain.

Finishes that survive a commercial day

All ten finishes are printed on a UV press with pigment inks. The prints are wipeable with standard surface cleaners; avoid abrasive pads. If a panel is damaged, we reprint that panel to size rather than the wall.

Fire, hygiene and landlords

  • Fire: the substrates are paper and film; treat them as you would painted plasterboard and keep clear of heat sources. Ask us for the substrate datasheet if your fit-out consultant needs it.
  • Hygiene: pigment prints on a sealed UV-cured surface; no fabric fibres, no dust traps; disinfectant wipes are fine.
  • Landlords and leases: peel-and-stick for anything you must remove at lease end.

Briefing us with your own brand

  1. Send the logo or pattern as vector (AI, PDF, SVG) or a 300 dpi raster at half the print size or more.
  2. Give us the wall size and photos; we lay the pattern out so the logo never lands behind a door frame.
  3. Brand colours as Pantone or hex; we match under D50 and send a printed swatch on request.
  4. Approve the digital proof; we print within 24 hours of approval.

How ordering works

  1. Measure the wall at its widest and tallest point in feet or centimetres. Our measuring guide takes five minutes.
  2. Enter the size on any design page or the price calculator; every finish prices itself instantly, GST included.
  3. Preview it on your wall: upload a photo and the design is composited onto your room in seconds, free.
  4. Approve the digital proof. We lay the print out on your exact wall size and send it before printing. Recolouring or moving a motif is free.
  5. We print within 24 hours of approval on our own UV press in Surat and dispatch within 48 hours.
  6. Delivery in 4 to 7 days anywhere in India, shipping free. Pay 30% online and the rest when it arrives (orders up to ₹20,000).
