The Business Idea
When parents design their children’’s bedroom or nursery, they would love to have an adorable hand painted mural on one of the walls. The painting can be beautiful nature scenery or a cute cartoon character that their children would love to have in their room. Children often feel helpless as they cannot paint it themselves; this is where the children’’s mural painting services can help them. You can offer them guidance on the available options or take their ideas and paint a colorful mural for them. With your creative imagination, you can offer tips to the confused parents who want to fill up their children’’s room with colors. If the child for whom the room is planned is a school going kid, then he on his own may already have planned about what kind of mural painting he wants for his room. In that case, you would have to take tips from them to design their room. You would be surprised to see broad smiles on their faces when they see their dream room becoming a reality! And you would be highly motivated and satisfied with what you are doing.
Startup Costs

These tools include brushes in different sizes, paints, practice boards, some mural books, creative DIY books and DVD’’s.
