Office Wall Graphics and Wall Wrap Ideas for Your Business

Quick answer: Most single office walls are installed in one day, and an indoor wall wrap often lasts five years or more. Office wall graphics are printed or cut vinyl graphics applied to interior walls to show your brand, values and personality. A wall wrap covers an entire wall with one printed image, like a photo mural or a logo wall. Ardor Printing designs, prints and installs office wall graphics, wall wraps and wall murals across the Seattle area with our own crew. We quote each wall from your measurements or photos, and the quote is free.

Key takeaways

• Wall graphics turn blank walls into brand space for lobbies, hallways, conference rooms and break rooms.
• Choose the format for the job: full wall wraps, cut vinyl lettering, printed wallpaper or a wall decal.
• Removable films work well in leased offices. Permanent films suit spaces you own.
• Wall condition matters. Smooth, fully cured paint gives the best result.

Office wall graphics ideas

The best office wall graphics tell visitors and employees who you are the moment they walk in. Popular ideas include:

• Logo and brand walls behind the reception desk
• Core values and mission statements in cut vinyl lettering
• Company history timelines down a hallway
• Photo murals of local landscapes, a Seattle skyline or Mount Rainier in a break room
• Project and fleet photo walls that show your work
• Conference room graphics with names, patterns or frosted glass accents
• Wayfinding for departments, restrooms and exits
• Motivational walls for gyms, studios, schools and churches

Here is how those ideas look in offices we have done around Puget Sound. University Mechanical Contractors put brand, history and values walls through its headquarters, from the lobby to the break rooms. PureDry Restoration has its core values on one wall and a Wall of Fame in cut vinyl lettering on another. Parse Biosciences greets visitors with a wall wrap in the elevator lobby. Martin Bower's office has a Seattle skyline mural with the company's fleet trailer in it, and DTG Recycle wrapped its office walls with photos of its own trucks. We have also installed office wall graphics for WAT in Kirkland, Aduro in Redmond and Heaton Dainard in Bellevue. Our crew installs on-site across Seattle, Bellevue and Everett.

Wall wrap vs. paint vs. a framed print

A painted mural is one of a kind, but it takes longer to create and can't be changed easily. A framed print is simple but small. A printed wall wrap gives you a custom wall of any size, with photo-quality detail. Most single walls are installed in a day, and multi-wall projects are scheduled over several days. When your brand changes, a removable wall film can come down without repainting the whole wall.

What affects the cost of office wall graphics?

Wall wraps are priced by the square foot, so the size of the wall is the biggest factor. A 10 by 12 foot wall is 120 square feet of printed film, and a 10 by 8 foot lobby wall is 80. We do not publish a flat per-square-foot rate, because the film, the design work and the wall itself change the number. Send us your wall measurements or a few photos and we will send a free quote. Cut vinyl lettering and single wall decals often cost less because they cover less of the wall.

Your price depends on:

1. Size and number of walls
2. Material: removable, permanent, textured-wall film or printed wallpaper
3. Design time: using your files vs. custom design and photo editing
4. Wall surface: smooth drywall is fastest; brick, block or heavy texture takes special films and more labor
5. Access: tall lobbies and stairwells may need lifts

Removable or permanent wall film?

If you lease your office, a removable wall film is often the smart choice. It looks just like a permanent wall wrap but uses an adhesive designed to peel off cleanly from properly cured, painted walls when you move or rebrand. If you own the building and want the graphics to last for years, a permanent film or printed wallpaper is a good fit. Permanent film bonds harder and may pull paint when it comes off, so tell us how long the graphic needs to stay up. Indoor wall wraps often last five years or more; our materials and durability page has the details. For exterior walls, brick, block and stucco, we use outdoor-rated and textured films made for rough surfaces.

How to prepare your walls

• Let fresh paint cure. Vinyl sticks best to paint that has fully cured. If you're painting before install, ask us how long to wait for your paint.
• Choose a smooth finish. Eggshell and satin paints on smooth drywall give the best results.
• Clear the space. Remove wall hangings, outlet covers and furniture from the area.

How Ardor creates custom wall graphics

1. Measure and plan. We measure your walls and talk through goals, budget and timing.
2. Design and proof. Our in-house designers lay out the graphics to your exact wall size and send a proof. We start design once a deposit is received.
3. Print in-house. We print on large-format printers with the right film for each surface.
4. Install with our own crew. We work around your schedule, including after hours when needed.

Our crew has installed wall and building graphics for brands like Amazon, Winsupply and Gonnason Boats, plus floor graphics for the BIG3 basketball court in Seattle and Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett. Learn more in our guide to Seattle wall wraps and coverings, or pair your walls with frosted glass graphics for conference rooms. Every wall install is backed by our 1-year installation warranty.
