Private interiors · Cyprus
Botanical compositions, understated graphics and illustrated scenes for the spaces you live in. Each mural is developed around a particular wall, your interior and your idea of home.
I'm Emil Stasovskiy, the artist known as ELMIO. I create custom interior murals in Cyprus. Completed projects include a botanical mural in a home in Pissouri and a Dota 2 bedroom in Agios Tychonas: two very different responses to their owners' personal preferences.
Discuss a home mural
01 / Your space
A residential mural starts with everyday life in the room. A wall behind the sofa, an alcove above a bed and a hallway are experienced differently. We need to consider where you will view the artwork from, how daylight enters and how much space the composition should occupy.
You can focus on one feature wall or connect several rooms through a shared theme. Furniture, textiles and finishes can guide the palette. The artwork does not need to cover every part of the surface: open wall space often makes a large composition feel lighter and calmer.
A mural behind a sofa or beside a dining area can shape the character of a shared room. Botanical imagery, abstraction or a graphic scene should be considered alongside furniture, lighting and the places from which you normally see the wall.
A bedroom can suit a quiet image or an expressive composition connected to personal interests. The bed, lights and shelving all affect the layout. In a teenager's room, the person who will use the space should be part of the conversation.
Here the artwork needs to work with cabinets, worktops and dining furniture. Tell me in advance if the surface is near water, steam or cooking areas: these conditions influence the choice of wall and materials.
Repeated leaves, lines or colour accents can connect an entrance to the living areas. Doorways, switches and narrow stretches of wall become part of the composition brief, rather than obstacles discovered after the sketch is agreed.
02 / Completed projects
These projects respond to different aims: keeping a light home interior airy and creating a dynamic scene in a personal room. Both show artwork adapted to existing architecture. Open the project pages for overall views, details and a description of each composition.
Pissouri · 2025
Large flowers, fine black outlines and beige and light-green leaves connect the kitchen, living room and hallway. Open areas keep the composition light. This project was painted with eco enamel for washable surfaces.

Agios Tychonas · 2026
Ember Spirit, Queen of Pain and Phantom Lancer form the scene in a teenage fan's room. The sketch was developed for the sleeping alcove and sloping attic ceiling. Painted with acrylics, the composition brings warm and cool colour accents together.

A favourite plant, the atmosphere of a room, a colour combination or a personal interest can be the starting point. You do not need a finished image. It helps to explain what you already like about the interior and what you want to add: calm, colour, movement or a personal story.
A sketch is designed for a specific wall, rather than simply as an attractive image on a screen. Furniture, sockets, doors, ceiling height and viewing distance all matter. If you are working with an interior designer, their plans and palette can help connect the mural to the other finishes. The image's scale and boundaries are discussed before painting.
Leaves, flowers and branches can be large and graphic or restrained in colour. In Pissouri, fine outlines and an open background connected several areas without making the interior feel crowded. Repeated motifs can establish a shared rhythm across the space.
Not every wall needs a dense image. Outline drawing, individual colour shapes and an unpainted background offer a subtle approach to an established interior. Palette intensity and detail are chosen with lighting, finishes and your experience of the room in mind.
The imagery can relate to the room owner's interests. In the Dota 2 project, three characters form a single scene designed around the wall's shape. Composition, clear large-scale imagery and an agreed level of detail are particularly important for this kind of artwork.
04 / Process
Send an overall view of the room, wall photographs, approximate dimensions and the location. Explain who uses the room, which furniture will remain and what you would like to achieve. If renovation is still underway, plans and selected finishes are useful.
We can discuss the theme, palette and character of the image. References help communicate preferences, but need to be seen alongside photographs of the room. A few initial details can gradually develop into a composition that suits your home.
Before painting, the image, its position and boundaries are agreed. Surface preparation, budget, access and practical arrangements are discussed separately. This also helps account for items that will remain in place or be installed after renovation.
The wall needs to be accessible, and protection of furniture and flooring should be agreed. Whether you can stay in the room during painting, ventilation and the time before normal use depend on the materials and their instructions. We discuss these conditions before work begins.
05 / Budget
A custom mural is priced for the particular brief. Wall area helps establish scale, but does not replace a discussion of the image and practical conditions. Restrained botanical graphics and a detailed character scene of the same size can involve different amounts of work.
Send photographs of the wall and room, width and height, a preferred theme and approximate timing. If you have a budget in mind, include it so we can discuss a suitable scope. The form below sends an estimate enquiry; it does not automatically calculate a fixed price.
Enter the dimensions so we can discuss possible designs and a suitable budget.
06 / Before you get in touch
Yes, the discussion can start with the existing finishes, furniture and lighting. In Pissouri, the botanical composition connected the kitchen, living room and hallway through a shared palette. For your home, I need an overall view and an understanding of what will remain unchanged.
No. You can start with photographs of the space and a description of the brief. If you already have a sketch, an interior design or a few references, include them: they help clarify the direction and the development still needed.
We can discuss a brief that takes account of age, interests and how the room is used. The portfolio includes a teenager's Dota 2 bedroom. For children's spaces, it is particularly important to agree materials, ventilation and the time before the room can be used again, following the coating instructions.
This depends on the method, materials and whether the working area can be separated. Access, protection of belongings, ventilation and timing need to be discussed in advance. There is no universal promise of no smell or immediate use of a bedroom: arrangements are specific to each project.
The wall needs a stable surface without peeling paint; show any cracks or signs of moisture beforehand. Preparation is decided after the wall is assessed. Timing depends on the area, detail, sketch development and surface condition, so it is discussed after reviewing the brief.
Care recommendations depend on materials and the final coating. The Pissouri mural used eco enamel for washable surfaces, but that does not mean every mural should be cleaned in the same way. Mention regular cleaning or contact with furniture before agreeing the project.
07 / Your project
Tell me about the room, the location of your home and the atmosphere you want to create. Attach photographs of the wall and interior, approximate dimensions and a few references if you have them. These help us discuss the artistic direction, preparation and cost factors.
If you do not yet have an idea, start with how you use the space and what you would like to change. You do not need to choose a painting technique or prepare a detailed technical brief yourself.
