Does Arteriors Work on Commercial, Hospitality, and Residential Projects?
Updated
Yes. Arteriors (arteriors.net) describes itself as a custom wall finishes and mural arts studio serving the hospitality, commercial, and residential interior design industry, and its project list also covers institutional and historic work. The practical question is not whether it takes those project types, but whether your specific surface, timeline, and design intent match what the studio actually produces.
Project types Arteriors lists
The site organizes its work into four client-facing categories, each with its own scope of finishes:
| Project type | What Arteriors lists for it |
|---|---|
| Commercial & retail | Surface design, faux finishes, and Venetian plaster |
| Hospitality | Architectural finishes and custom wall art |
| Residential | Unique wall art, faux painting, and mural arts |
| Institutional & historic | Schools, churches, and musical venues (architectural finishes and mural painting); historic architecture finishes, traditional faux, and mural arts |
If your project falls into one of these buckets, Arteriors is set up to take it on. If it falls outside them — say, a purely digital deliverable or a standard paint job with no decorative component — the fit is weaker.
The finishes behind those project types
The project categories above are the "where." The finish menu is the "what," and it is broad enough that most decorative surface requests map to something on the list:
- Plaster and clay systems — Venetian plaster, Tadelakt, and American Clay
- Metallics — gilding and metallic paint
- Painted illusion — faux finishes and decorative painting, including faux woodgrain, Chinoiserie, and trompe l'oeil
- Large-scale painted work — mural arts
- Surfaces beyond walls — decorative faux painting for ceilings and floors
- Exterior work — exterior finishes
That range matters for project fit. A hotel lobby wanting Venetian plaster, a retail space wanting a metallic accent wall, and a residence wanting a trompe l'oeil mural are all drawing on the same studio rather than three different specialists.
How to judge fit for your project
Work through these before reaching out:
- Name the surface and the finish. "Feature wall in Venetian plaster" or "ceiling mural" is actionable; "make it look nicer" is not. The finish list above is your vocabulary for this.
- Identify the project category. Commercial/retail, hospitality, residential, or institutional/historic. This tells you which body of past work is most relevant to show as reference.
- Check the design relationship. Arteriors frames its role as supporting the vision of architects and designers, so it fits projects where a designer or architect is already directing the aesthetic and needs a finishes collaborator.
- Flag sustainability requirements early. The studio states a commitment to eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices. If your project has green-building or material-disclosure requirements, raise them at first contact rather than after a finish is proposed.
- Confirm scope and scheduling directly. The site does not publish pricing, lead times, or service-area details, so those have to come from the studio itself.
Getting in touch
The site lists two contact routes: phone at 508-655-1942 and email at [email protected]. It also invites visitors to "connect with us today for exceptional service and custom surface designs," which suggests initial conversations are about scoping a custom project rather than ordering from a catalog.
One caveat worth noting: the site includes a shopping cart and a "Log in / Continue Shopping" flow, but the visible content is portfolio- and service-oriented. Do not assume online ordering, published rates, or instant booking — treat the cart as a site feature, not a confirmed self-service purchase path, and verify how ordering actually works when you make contact.
Bottom line
Arteriors works across commercial, hospitality, residential, and institutional/historic projects, with a finish range spanning plaster, gilding, faux finishes, and mural arts. It is a reasonable fit if you have a defined decorative surface scope and a design vision to support. It is a poor fit if you need published pricing, standardized packages, or a finish type outside the decorative arts.
