How to turn blank space into impact with wall graphics

If your business has acres of blank wall space, you are missing a trick. Whether the business is an office, restaurant, cafe or hotel, its walls are a canvas to be painted on. They can be used to add colour and life while also underlining your brand. Here is a guide to creating wall graphics that work.

Know the space and what you want to achieve

Take a look at the wall and feel the surface. Is it textured or smooth? How much natural light is it exposed to? These factors will help to determine the design and colours used.

Next, you need to think about what the graphics are intended to achieve. If the wall is in the reception area of an office or hotel, they will be about catching the eye and highlighting the brand. If it is a corridor wall, the graphics are more likely to be about wayfinding.

Remember that size matters

The key point to remember when designing the graphics is that they will be large. A design that fits small spaces like business cards could seem overpowering when it covers a wall. The best way to avoid design errors of this kind is to consider the dimensions from the start.

Everything from the colour scheme to the font must be chosen with the actual size firmly in mind. This is why getting the graphics designed by professionals is advisable.
