Hand-Painted Wall Murals in Edinburgh
Original murals created by Scottish artist Kirsteen Lyons-Benson BA (Hons)
Bespoke Hand-Painted Murals for Edinburgh Homes and Businesses
Bert’s Decorating now offers a truly unique service — bespoke hand-painted wall murals created by Edinburgh artist Kirsteen Lyons-Benson BA (Hons). These are not printed wallpaper murals, vinyl graphics, or digital reproductions. Every mural is an original piece of art, painted directly onto the wall by hand.
Whether you want to transform a living room, bring character to a restaurant, or create something magical in a child’s bedroom, a hand-painted mural turns an ordinary wall into a one-of-a-kind artwork. As painters and decorators in Edinburgh, we prepare the wall surface to the highest standard before Kirsteen begins her work — giving every mural the perfect foundation.
Meet the Artist – Kirsteen Lyons-Benson BA (Hons)
Kirsteen Lyons-Benson is an Edinburgh-based artist who grew up surrounded by creativity. Her parents met while studying at Glasgow School of Art, and she was raised in an environment where painting, colour and ideas were part of everyday life.
That upbringing shaped her deep belief that art should live in everyday spaces — not just galleries.
Her work blends impressionist realism with expressive brushwork. She draws inspiration from Scotland’s coastlines, skies, boats and wild landscapes, often working with luminous blues and flowing forms that bring movement and atmosphere to a space.

Types of Hand-Painted Murals
Every mural is unique and designed specifically for the room it will live in. Here are some of the styles Kirsteen works with:
Seascape Murals
Inspired by Scotland’s coastline, harbours and open skies. Kirsteen’s seascapes bring the feel of the Scottish coast into your home — crashing waves, sandy shores and dramatic cloud formations painted with a sense of light and movement.
Abstract Murals
Flowing colour, expressive brushwork and bold movement. Abstract murals work beautifully as statement pieces in living rooms, dining areas or commercial spaces — adding energy and personality without a literal subject.
Feature Wall Murals
A single hand-painted feature wall can completely transform a room. Whether it’s a dramatic floral design for a restaurant, a calming landscape for a hallway, or a bold centrepiece for a living room — every piece is designed to suit the proportions, light and character of the space.
Children’s Room Murals
Playful, imaginative artwork designed for bedrooms and nurseries. From enchanted forests and underwater worlds to favourite storybook scenes — a hand-painted mural creates a magical space that grows with your child. Every design is tailored to the room and to your child’s personality.
Murals in Edinburgh Homes
Hand-painted murals work beautifully in many of Edinburgh’s distinctive property styles. From Victorian tenement flats in Bruntsfield and Marchmont to Georgian townhouses in the New Town and modern apartments in Leith, a bespoke mural can transform a wall into a striking focal point.
Clients often choose murals for:
- Living room feature walls
- Children’s bedrooms or nurseries
- Dining spaces and kitchens
- Hallways and stairwells
Because every mural is designed specifically for the space, Kirsteen considers the room’s scale, light, and architecture before beginning the artwork. The result is a mural that feels completely natural within the room while adding something unique and memorable.
How It Works – From Idea to Artwork
Commissioning a hand-painted mural is a collaborative process. Here’s what to expect:
Step 1 – Initial Quote Request
Get in touch through the Bert’s Decorating website with your ideas, photos of the wall, and any inspiration images. We’ll arrange a consultation to discuss the project and provide a quote.
Step 2 – Concept Design
Kirsteen develops a concept based on the space, the natural light, your ideas and the overall feel you want to achieve. You’ll see the design before any painting begins.
Step 3 – Wall Preparation and Painting
Our decorating team prepares the wall surface — filling, sanding, priming — to create the perfect canvas. Kirsteen then paints the mural directly onto the wall, building up layers of colour and detail over several sessions.
Step 4 – A One-of-a-Kind Artwork
The finished mural becomes a permanent part of your home or business. A completely original piece of Scottish art that cannot be replicated.
