Ten to thirty quiet, related pieces for identical treatment rooms, and one larger piece for reception

You are a spa director, a wellness-brand founder, or the designer or procurement lead fitting out a spa inside a hotel or resort. The list is short and repetitive: a reception, one or two relaxation lounges, eight to twenty treatment rooms that are identical or nearly so, a yoga or movement studio, and changing areas. You specify by mood first. Nothing bold, nothing figurative that a guest lying on a couch has to look at, and a palette of two or three muted tones that were fixed when the stone and the linen were chosen.

You buy the whole thing as one programme, usually ten to thirty pieces, and you want the treatment rooms to read as a set without being copies. You are asking three things: can one calm design be painted as a series of near-identical rooms without looking like prints; is the plaster texture real or printed; and what happens to a painting in a room with steam next door.

Not you? A spa that is part of a whole resort fit-out, with villas handed over in phases, is on resort villas & beach hotels. A hotel spa bought inside the hotel's guest-room package is on hotel guest-room programmes. A single large piece for an arrival wall without the treatment rooms is on lobby statement art. A clinic or medical waiting area is on senior living & clinics. Gyms and fitness studios, which ask for the opposite mood, are not served by this page: the Spa & Wellness tag holds only 17 Bold works.

What goes wrong. A supplier with stock offers fifteen of the same print, and the rooms read as a chain. A supplier with a gallery offers fifteen different originals, and the rooms stop reading as one spa: one has a blue seascape, the next a pink floral, and the therapist's room with the strongest piece is the one guests ask to avoid. Either way the buyer ends up making fifteen individual choices for rooms that were meant to be identical.

What we do. We paint a related series from one catalogue reference. You pick a single work, say a Textured & Plaster botanical in bone and sage such as TA#053, and we paint it fifteen times as variations: the same composition, palette and size, with the placement of the leaves, the depth of the relief and the balance of the two tones shifting from piece to piece. Adjacent rooms are clearly siblings and clearly not copies, because each is painted by hand from the same brief rather than reproduced.

The spread of the variation is yours to set. "Barely different, so the rooms feel identical" and "visibly different, so a repeat guest notices" are both normal instructions. The first piece is painted and photographed as the sample, you approve it, and the rest of the run is painted to that sample. Every piece in the run is signed and ships with its own certificate of authenticity, so the treatment rooms hold fifteen originals rather than one original and fourteen reproductions.

What goes wrong. Most catalogues are built for living rooms and lobbies, where a strong piece is the point. A spa buyer filtering one of those catalogues for "calm" gets a thin list, and the pieces that slip through, a saturated abstract, a face, a high-contrast skyline, are the ones that break the atmosphere in a room lit at 30 percent. The trade advice is plain: treatment rooms need art that promotes peace, and meditation spaces want minimalist, near-empty work ².

What we do. The Spa & Wellness tag is the calmest view of our catalogue, and the numbers are real counts, not a description. Of 365 works tagged for the room, 255 are Peaceful and 184 Calming; Bold and Dramatic are 17 each, and Vibrant is one. By subject, Floral & Botanical leads with 141, Landscape 118 and Seascape 72; Figurative & Human is 11. By style, Textured & Plaster leads with 112, followed by Impressionist and Abstract at 69 each. For the quietest briefs there are 38 Contemporary Minimalist and 20 Wabi-Sabi works tagged for the room; that is a short list, so treat it as a place to start rather than a filter.

Because every piece is painted to order, a work that is nearly right can be made right. A seascape with a warm sunset can be painted in the grey-blue of a cold morning; a floral with a pink accent can lose the accent; contrast can be lowered across a whole series so that no piece is the loud one. Ask for it in the brief and it appears in the first sample photo.

What goes wrong. "Textured" is the most abused word in wall art. Much of what is sold as textured plaster art for spas is a flat print of a textured surface, sometimes with a clear gel pass to catch the light. Under the low, raking light of a treatment room it reads as what it is: an image of relief on a flat sheet. The buyer who specified texture because the room has honed stone and lime paint finds the art is the one flat thing in it.

What we do. Our Textured & Plaster works are built up by hand with palette knife and plaster-like media on canvas, so the relief is physical. Run a hand across one and the ridges are there; light a wall at a low angle and the surface throws its own shadow. This is the same reason the style leads the Spa & Wellness room in our catalogue, 112 of 365, when in every other room Abstract or Colorful leads. Of those 112, 85 are led by beige, cream, sand, white, taupe or grey, and 25 by green, sage, olive or mint.

Because the relief is applied by hand, its depth is part of the brief. "Heavier relief in reception, lighter in the treatment rooms" is a normal instruction. Progress photos are sent at each stage and you approve before the piece moves on, so you see the surface in a raking-light photograph before it ships, not after. If you want a frameless canvas so the surface runs to the edge, which is the usual recommendation for a spa wall ², specify frameless stretched; the edges are painted.

What goes wrong. The stone was chosen a year ago; the linen, the towels and the paint were matched to it. Then the art arrives in a palette chosen from a screen, and the one green in the room that does not match is on the wall in every treatment room. A supplier with stock can only offer what exists; the buyer either accepts a near miss or starts again.

What we do. Any catalogue composition is painted in your palette. Send the physical references, a stone offcut, a paint drawdown, a swatch of the towel, and we match to them, not to a screen. Two or three tones is a normal spa brief and a normal instruction to a painter: a Floral & Botanical in bone and sage, a Seascape in one blue-grey and one white, a plaster piece in a single sand tone with the relief doing the work. The colour families the catalogue is tagged in, 16 of them, are a way to find a starting composition; the finished palette is whatever you sent.

Matching is checked in the sample. The first piece is photographed against a neutral ground and, if you send the references, against them, and you approve before the series is painted. Where a series is being painted for a row of rooms, the palette is held across the run and the variation is in the composition, so the rooms differ from each other but none of them differs from the stone. If a later phase, a second site or a replacement piece is painted in two years, it is painted to the same references and the same approved sample.

The straight answer. We make no claim that our canvases resist moisture, steam or mould, and we will not put one in a quote. They are hand-painted canvas, stretched or rolled, the same materials as any painting, and we do not test or treat them for wet-area use. A supplier who tells you a stretched canvas is fine beside a steam room is guessing on your behalf.

What that means room by room. Treatment rooms, relaxation lounges, reception, corridors, yoga and movement studios and the dry side of a changing area are ordinary interior conditions, and that is where the paintings go. Steam rooms, saunas, thermal suites, pool halls, showers and the wet side of a changing area are not, and we do not recommend a stretched canvas there.

The route if you still want art in a wet area. Order the piece rolled. It ships flat-rolled in a tube, and your fit-out contractor decides the mounting: a sealed frame, glazing, a ventilated backing, or simply a different wall. They know the room's ventilation and the finishes around it; we do not. The 121 works tagged Bathroom in our catalogue, 55 of them Seascape, are tagged for subject and scale, not as a moisture rating, so read that tag as "looks right in a bathroom" and nothing more. If a piece in a dry room is later damaged in service, it is painted again from the same reference and the same approved sample, because nothing is stock.

What goes wrong. The treatment-room series is settled, and then reception needs one piece three times the size in the same family. A stock supplier has the small one but not the large one, or has a large one in a different palette, and the room that every guest walks through first is the one that does not belong to the scheme.

What we do. Any work is painted in any size, so the reception anchor is the same reference as the treatment rooms, resized. Every vertical and horizontal composition lists sizes up to 203 × 153 cm (80 × 60 in); every panoramic up to 127 × 254 cm (50 × 100 in); every square up to 183 × 183 cm (72 × 72 in); and larger, including works over two metres, is painted to order. Proportions are re-composed by the painter for the new format rather than stretched, so a vertical treatment-room piece can become a panoramic above the reception desk without the leaves or the horizon distorting.

Where the reception wants its own piece rather than a scaled sibling, 112 Textured & Plaster works are tagged Lobby & Reception, and 47 works carry both the Spa & Wellness and Lobby & Reception tags. The trade advice is the same one the scheme is already following: intimate pieces in treatment rooms, a larger statement in reception ¹. Progress photos for a large piece show the canvas at each stage before it ships, and framing in wood, black, white, gold or silver is applied here if the reception wants a frame while the treatment rooms stay frameless.

1. Brief. You send the room list with a count per room, one or two reference codes, the physical palette references, the finish per room and the date the rooms are ready to hang. If you want a sample first, order one piece: the minimum order is one.
2. Quote. Within one business day you have a quote per piece and per tier. Volume pricing starts at ten pieces, so a spa of twelve treatment rooms is already inside it. Shipping is free and insured worldwide by DHL, FedEx or USPS and is not a separate line. There is no public price list.
3. Sample and approval. The first piece of each series is painted and photographed, under ordinary and raking light for a textured work, and against your references for a recolour. You approve it or ask for a change before the run starts.
4. Painting the run. About a week per piece, painted in parallel for a series; progress photos or video arrive at each stage and each stage is approved before the next. Every piece is signed by its painter and packed with its certificate of authenticity.
5. Delivery. 3–7 days in transit by courier with tracking, so a single piece is 10–13 days door to door. A programme is scheduled against your hang date and the date is confirmed in writing at quotation. Frameless stretched and framed pieces arrive ready to hang; rolled pieces arrive in a tube for your contractor to stretch or mount.

If a piece arrives damaged, photograph the packaging and the piece, send us the photos, and we handle the carrier claim and paint the replacement at no cost to the same approved sample.

The quote comes back complete the first time if the enquiry carries these six things.

• The room list with counts. "Reception 1, relaxation lounge 2, treatment rooms 14, couples' suites 2, yoga studio 1, changing areas 2." Note which rooms are wet-side, so we can flag them for the rolled route.
• One or two reference codes. Start from the Spa & Wellness room or the cuts on this page and send a code, for example TA#053 or IA#1193. If nothing is right, send the two closest and say what is wrong with each.
• Palette references. A stone offcut, a paint drawdown or a linen swatch, posted to us, is better than a hex code. If only photographs are possible, shoot them in daylight beside a sheet of white paper.
• Size per room and orientation. The wall width and the height of the couch or the desk are enough for us to suggest a size; a vertical 81 × 61 cm (32 × 24 in) above a treatment couch and a 163 × 122 cm (64 × 48 in) or a panoramic in reception are common starting points, not rules.
• Finish per room. Frameless stretched is the usual spa choice so the texture runs to the edge; framed in wood, black, white, gold or silver where the scheme wants it; rolled where your contractor will mount on site.
• The hang date and the delivery address. We schedule the run against the date and confirm it in writing. If the address is a site office or a contractor rather than your own, say so; we ship to a named consignee.

Send it through request a quote with the role set to hospitality group, or attach a spreadsheet if the list already exists.

The counts below are live from the catalogue, so the depth is real and not a promise. The Spa & Wellness room is the single best entry point: 365 works, 286 of them vertical, which suits the wall above a treatment couch, and 44 square, which suits a yoga studio or a relaxation-lounge alcove. Horizontal and panoramic are thinner, 20 and 15, but any vertical composition can be re-composed as a panoramic for a reception desk or a lounge wall, so the orientation tag is a starting point rather than a limit.

By style, Textured & Plaster is where most spa briefs start and where the real relief lives. Impressionist and Abstract, 69 each in the room, give softer, brushier landscapes and quiet colour fields. Contemporary Minimalist (38) and Wabi-Sabi (20) are the quietest lists and the shortest; look at them, but expect to recolour or vary rather than pick fifteen off the shelf.

By subject, Floral & Botanical (141), Landscape (118) and Seascape (72) cover the nature brief that the trade recommends for wellness spaces ¹. Filtering the room by mood, Peaceful (255) or Calming (184), removes almost everything a spa would not hang. Once a composition is chosen, the rest is a brief: the palette becomes yours, the size becomes the wall's, and the run becomes a series.
