The space everyone sees… but that often remains underexploited.

A functional entryway with no identity

In hotels, residential buildings and businesses, the entryway is often designed to be functional: reception, circulation, signage. Yet this space is the first impression visitors have of the venue. Without a strong artistic element, it remains neutral and forgettable.

A commercial storefront lacking visual impact

Storefronts are a powerful marketing tool for boutiques. However, they often limit themselves to a simple product display. An artistic intervention creates a spectacular storefront that attracts passersby and increases in-store traffic.

A missed opportunity to create a photographable venue

In a world dominated by social media, the most memorable places are those visitors want to photograph and share. Without a distinctive visual element, a space loses an opportunity for free visibility on Instagram and TikTok.

Benefits

What each mural brings concretely

01

Memorable first impression

The lobby is the first — and last — image your client takes away. An artwork by a recognized artist creates the immediate 'wow' effect that fuels online reviews and Instagram photos tagging your establishment.

02

Immersive client experience

In hotels and businesses, the visual experience plays a central role in client satisfaction. An artwork contributes to creating a unique atmosphere consistent with the venue's identity.

03

Social media visibility

Visually striking spaces often become places photographed by visitors. This generates organic visibility on Instagram and other platforms.

04

Differentiation from competition

In a competitive market, a space's visual identity can become a strategic advantage. An original artwork becomes a signature that clients associate with the venue.

Impact by space

Financing

Reduce your net cost to 30–50% thanks to available levers

Commercial tax deduction (DIEP)

For commercial spaces, the cost of an artwork can be deducted 100% in the year of acquisition (Federal DIEP Rule).

1% for art program

During renovations of public or mixed-use buildings, 1% of the cost can be dedicated to art with government support.

Commercial development funds

Business associations and SDCs sometimes offer grants for the beautification of facades and entryways.

Promotional partnership

A mural visible from the street can be the subject of a partnership with brands or institutions seeking local visibility.

An artwork in your lobby or storefront is a permanent brand image investment. L'Original helps you identify the tax and grant levers available for your project.
Process

From vision to inauguration

1

Space analysis

Our team analyzes the wall or storefront area, lighting, circulation and the visual identity of the venue.

2

Artist selection

We identify 2 or 3 artists compatible with your project based on the desired style, atmosphere and target audience.

3

Creation and installation

The artist develops an artistic proposal. After validation: mural execution, artwork installation. Each project includes a certificate of authenticity and professional photos for your communications.
