Art for a whole villa: 8–40 walls, each its own size, every piece approved by the client before it ships

This page is written for the person who owns the art line of a whole-house project: the residential designer or design-and-build studio, the turnkey fit-out contractor furnishing a villa or penthouse to a handover date, or the family-office or owner's-representative project manager buying on the client's behalf. You are specifying room by room, with a few hero walls (the double-height entry, the long living-room wall, the dining wall) and a run of secondary walls (bedrooms, home office, bathrooms, landings), and you buy the whole schedule as one project: one supplier, one quote, one delivery to site, and a client who wants to approve each piece before it ships. Often you will do this villa after villa with the same specification language.

The questions you actually ask, and that this page answers with numbers, are: can every piece be painted to the wall's exact size, including a two-panel set for a double-height wall; can the client approve progress photos of each work; does it arrive framed and ready to hang at the site; and can bathrooms and the home office be painted in the same order as the hero pieces.

Not you? If you are matching one or two pieces to one client's room, read residential interior designers. If a single wall needs one very large canvas and nothing else, read oversized & custom-size art. If you are dressing a show home or sales suite to a launch, read show homes & sales suites. If the project is a private palace or majlis in the Gulf, this page still applies; the hospitality side of that market is on GCC hotels & palaces.

Yes. Nothing is held in stock, so every piece in the catalogue is painted for its order at the dimension you give us. The sizes listed on each work are the sizes that have been produced before, not a menu: every vertical or horizontal work lists 14 sizes from 61 × 51 cm (24 × 20 in) to 203 × 153 cm (80 × 60 in), every panoramic work 11 sizes up to 127 × 254 cm (50 × 100 in), every square work 10 sizes up to 183 × 183 cm (72 × 72 in). If your wall wants 240 × 110 cm, say so; proportions are adjusted by the painter, not stretched. Canvases of 2 m and over are normal work, not a special request.

For a double-height entry or stair wall you have three routes. First, one tall canvas painted to the height you specify. Second, a two-panel set: the catalogue holds 10 multi-panel works, eight of them vertical two-panel sets that list each panel at up to 203 × 135 cm (80 × 53 in), and any single work can be painted as a two-panel variation on request, which also keeps each panel within what a stair or lift can take on site. Third, for the one wall the client will be judged on, a master work by one of the hub's senior partnered artists: these are kept exactly as painted, so you choose from what exists rather than resizing, and they carry provenance, exhibition history, a photograph of the artist with the work and invitations to their shows (see custom & commission).

Send wall width and height, ceiling height, what sits below or beside the wall (console, staircase, sofa, headboard), viewing distance and orientation, and the size goes on the quote as painted.

Every piece is approved while it is on the easel, not after it arrives. As the work progresses we send photos or video at each stage, and we only continue once you have approved that stage; colour and composition are corrected before the next stage starts. For a whole-house schedule this runs per piece, so a client who wants to see the entry canvas at three stages and the bathroom pieces once can have exactly that; you tell us who signs off and we send to them. Because the piece is painted for this project, the two routes that villa clients ask for most are ordinary: Recolour keeps the composition and paints it in the palette from your scheme (send fabric, paint or stone references), and Vary builds a related series off one work so four bedrooms read as a family without repeating.

Two honest notes. Screen and canvas differ; approve against a physical reference where colour matters, and the stage photos are the check. And hand-painted means the piece painted for you will differ from the catalogue photograph in the way hand-painting differs, which is why the approval is of the work in progress and not of the listing image.

Every piece is signed by the artist and travels with a certificate of authenticity. For a master work by a senior partnered artist, the provenance file (exhibition history, photograph with the artist, show invitations) is what the client approves; the painting itself is not altered.

Three mechanisms, all of them normal practice because nothing is stock. The first is palette. Any work in any of the 8 styles can be recoloured to one set of references, so a Textured & Plaster panoramic in the living room, an Impressionist landscape over the master bed and a geometric Abstract in the study can all be painted to the same stone, timber and fabric tones; the composition changes from room to room, the colour temperature does not. The second is the hand. The painters train inside Siji Art Hub's exhibition programme, and a schedule ordered together is briefed together, to one set of palette references, with each stage photographed for the same approver, so the bedrooms are checked against the living room rather than against a catalogue thumbnail. The third is the Vary route: one approved work becomes the reference for a family of related pieces, which is how a corridor of guest rooms or a pair of children's bedrooms is kept related without repeating.

The catalogue is tagged for every room in the house, so you can start each room from its own slice and still buy as one order: Living Room 855 works, Bedroom 457, Entryway & Hallway 432, Dining Room 337, Home Office 245, Bathroom 121. Home Office is the one room where Geometric leads (107 works) and Abstract is the top style (73); Bathroom is the only room where Seascape leads (55). Every work carries three to five room tags, so those counts overlap; treat them as views into the same 1,455 works.

Yes on both. Framed pieces (gold, silver, black, white or wood) are stretched, boxed and shipped with hanging hooks supplied, so the installer on site opens the box and hangs. Frameless stretched arrives the same way without the moulding. Rolled canvas ships unstretched in a strong paper tube for a local framer, which is usually the cheaper route on long-haul and on the largest formats; for a villa schedule the usual split is framed or frameless stretched for everything that must be on the wall at handover, and rolled only where a local framer is already in the programme.

Shipping is free and fully insured worldwide by DHL, FedEx or USPS, with a tracking number sent when the consignment leaves. Delivery to a different country or recipient than the buyer is arranged at order stage: give us the site address or the contractor's consignee and it ships there. Multiple pieces are usually delivered together; master works by senior partnered artists can run to their own timeline and may arrive separately, and we confirm dates per piece.

Every consignment is fully insured, and a piece that arrives damaged is painted again at no cost; the claim steps are on logistics. On a villa the more useful point is the later one: because every piece is painted to order, the same reference at the same size and palette can be repainted years on if a piece is damaged in service, so a handover schedule is also a replacement schedule.

A villa schedule is one order, not a hero piece plus an afterthought. The same brief carries the entry canvas, the living-room panoramic, the dining wall, every bedroom, the home office and the bathrooms, and the whole schedule is quoted, painted, approved and shipped as one project. Volume pricing applies from 10 pieces per order, which most whole-house schedules cross; there is no public price list, and the quote you receive within 1 business day is the delivered figure, because shipping and insurance are included.

The rooms that other suppliers treat as leftovers are tagged in the catalogue like any other: Bathroom 121 works, led by Seascape (55) and Peaceful (92); Home Office 245, led by Geometric (107) and Abstract (73); Dining Room 337, with 84 horizontal and 64 panoramic works for the long wall over the table. Bedrooms are the deepest residential slice after the living room: 457 works, of which 281 are tagged Peaceful and 170 Calming.

What we do not claim, so you can write the spec without a correction later: no stock and no prints, so nothing ships tomorrow; no fire-retardancy or flame-spread certification on canvas or frames, so if a building authority requires treatment or glazing, specify it locally; single-piece lead time is not project lead time, and project dates are committed in writing at quotation once we have the quantity and the deadline; master works run on their own timeline. Every piece is signed and certified, and none of it is priced in public.

1. Brief. You send the room-by-room schedule: for each wall a reference code (or a description and we propose tagged works), the size, the palette references, the finish and the site address. Any wall can be left as "propose" and we answer with catalogue codes.
2. Quote. Within 1 business day, with a lead time for the whole schedule and a date committed in writing.
3. Sample, if you want one. The minimum order is one piece, so a sample is an ordinary one-piece order; many studios approve one bedroom piece against the physical scheme before releasing the rest.
4. Paint and approve. About 1 week per piece for standard formats, painted in parallel across the schedule. Progress photos or video at each stage go to whoever you name, and we continue only once that stage is approved.
5. Sign, certify, pack. Each piece is signed by the artist and travels with its certificate of authenticity; framed and frameless stretched pieces are boxed with hooks, rolled pieces tubed.
6. Ship to site. 3–7 days in transit by DHL, FedEx or USPS, free and fully insured, tracked, to the site or consignee you named at order stage.

Door to door the single-piece figure is 10–13 days. A schedule of 20 or 30 pieces takes longer than one piece, and a master work takes its own time; that is why the project date is confirmed in writing at quotation rather than implied. Studios that repeat villa after villa keep the approved codes, sizes and palettes as their standing specification and send the next house as a revision of the last.

A whole-house quote is accurate when it is built from the schedule you already hold. Send, in any format you use in the office:

• The wall list. One line per position: room, wall, width × height in cm or inches, ceiling height where it matters, what sits below or beside it.
• A reference per wall, or "propose". Catalogue codes where you have chosen; a style, theme or mood where you have not, and we come back with tagged options and counts.
• Palette references. Fabric cuttings photographed in daylight, paint codes, stone and timber samples or the scheme board; these drive the Recolour route.
• Finish per wall. Framed (gold, silver, black, white, wood), frameless stretched, or rolled for a local framer.
• Delivery. Site address or consignee and country, and whether the project needs one consignment or staged deliveries by floor.
• Dates and sign-off. The handover or install date, and who approves progress photos (you, the client, or both).
• Sample first? Say whether you want one piece painted and approved before the schedule is released.

The quote comes back within 1 business day with a lead time for the schedule. Send it through request a quote with the role set to interior designer / architect, or attach the schedule as it is; there is no template to fill in.

The catalogue is 1,455 works across 8 styles, 10 themes, 16 colour families, 9 moods and 4 orientations, and every work is tagged for the rooms it suits. For a whole house the useful starting slices are by room and orientation, because orientation is what the wall dictates. The catalogue is 74% vertical (1,069 works), which suits entries, stair walls and bedrooms; horizontal (118) and panoramic (106) works carry the living-room sofa wall and the dining wall, and any vertical work can be painted wide when the composition allows it.

Hero walls: Entryway & Hallway is 424 vertical works, with Abstract (107) and Textured & Plaster (88) the styles studios pick most for a double-height wall; Living Room has 97 panoramic and 103 horizontal works, and 335 Living Room works are tagged Bold. Secondary walls: Bedroom works tagged Peaceful or Calming come to 354; Home Office is Geometric-led; Bathroom is Seascape-led. Each tile below opens the live facet page with its current count; the intersections quoted in the text are computed from the same tags.

Private palaces and majlis. A private palace or large family house in the Gulf is bought the same way as a villa: a majlis and a formal dining hall that want panoramic or two-panel work at 2 m and beyond, a run of family bedrooms, and an owner’s office that approves each piece by photo before it ships. The routes above apply unchanged; those schedules usually start from the Recolour route to a stone-and-gold palette and the Textured & Plaster and Abstract slices tagged Entryway & Hallway.

Yacht, superyacht and refit interiors. A yacht designer, owner’s representative or refit yard specifies to exact bulkhead and panel dimensions, buys a handful of cabin verticals and one or two saloon pieces per vessel, and needs the lot delivered to a yard or agent abroad on a refit date. Yacht art consultancies survey the interior plans to fix locations and specify fixings for each piece ¹, and on larger vessels art is commissioned deck by deck and chosen for its fit to a specific space, with weight and space constraints in play ². What we do: paint to the panel dimension you give us; recolour Seascape, Textured & Plaster or Contemporary Minimalist works to the interior palette (Seascape is tagged on 82 Guest Room & Suite works); ship rolled in a strong tube for the yard’s joiner to stretch and fix, or stretched and framed; send stage photos so the owner or captain signs off remotely; and deliver free and insured to a shipyard or agent in another country, with the refit date committed in writing. What we do not offer: no marine fire, IMO, flammability, humidity or weight certification of any kind. Suitability, mounting and any certification the flag or class requires are for the yard and designer to determine.
