Zurich / Boutiques and independent retail
The useful wall may be below an arch, beside a watch cabinet, or above the last shelf.
We paint custom canvases for Zurich shop owners and brand teams using the references they choose. Show us the space your merchandise leaves clear, and we can discuss a painting for that exact position.
PaletteMomento is a hand-painting studio in Dafen Art Village, Shenzhen, China. Each canvas has one painter from first marks to completion, with no printed base. Your chosen image, painted dimensions and presentation determine the artwork cost; delivery is quoted for the receiving address. Daylight photos of every finished canvas come to you for approval before shipping.

01 / Measure the wall the shop can spare
Zurich-West's Im Viadukt places shops beneath railway arches. Its mix includes fashion boutiques, sports shops and studio galleries. An arch gives the space character, but its full width is not the width available for a rectangular canvas.
Photograph the wall with the shelves, rails and signs in place. Mark the smallest clear height across the width you are considering. Your local installer can then check whether the complete framed piece fits that space.
You choose the painted width and height. We can assess a reference at that proportion without assuming the frame follows the curve of the arch.
A shelf can hide the lower part of a painting even when the canvas fits the wall. Please mark the tallest products in the reference photograph. We can discuss a composition whose main subject stays within the visible area.
02 / Decide what deserves the close view
Zurich Tourism describes Bahnhofstrasse as a destination for watches, jewelry and fashion. For a shop selling small objects, a nearby canvas can be much larger than the merchandise. The important decision is how much attention it should take.
| Painting position | A useful decision |
|---|---|
| Behind a glass display cabinet | Keep the most active shapes away from the objects customers are inspecting. Show the cabinet height and the position of its upper edge. |
| Across from a glass cabinet | Check the painting from the browsing aisle and through the cabinet glass. Its reflection may overlap the merchandise even when the canvas sits on another wall. |
These are choices for your shop, not a claim that Zurich boutiques must use neutral art. A colorful image can belong beside a quiet product display. Tell us whether the painting should be a focal point or a supporting piece.
Your final review can focus on the agreed subject placement and color balance. Our painting guide explains how the hand-painted surface is made.
03 / Separate receiving from the display deadline
Bahnhofstrasse's Lucy lights switch on at 18:00 on November 19, 2026. BLICKFANG Zurich follows on November 20 to 22. If either date matters to your retail display, tell us when your own painting must be on the wall.
For Old Town shops, Zurich allows delivery vehicles into its pedestrian zones from 05:00 to 12:00. Necessary entry outside that window requires permission arranged beforehand. Permission to enter is not permission to park.
Please share the receiving hours agreed with your shop. Hanging remains a separate arrangement with your local team. An early vehicle slot does not establish when they may work inside.
04 / Turn the usable wall into a quote
A wall photograph with that area marked helps us assess whether your chosen image belongs there. If the shelves are still planned, include their dimensions on the drawing.
If customers will also buy the canvases, identify those pieces separately. Our retailer assortment guide covers that wider buying plan.
05 / Questions the measured wall can raise
An Im Viadukt shop can position the painting around its usable display area rather than the arch's center. Show the customer-facing view with the fixtures. Your installer can check the proposed position before the image dimensions are settled.
For a Zurich shop with adjustable shelves, use the smallest clear wall area that your planned arrangements will leave. Include both layouts when discussing the reference. That avoids choosing a subject whose key detail depends on one shelf position.
A Zurich jewelry boutique can choose a portrait if it suits the brand and viewing position. Show how close it will sit to the jewelry. A face can attract attention strongly, so its scale deserves a deliberate decision.
A Zurich Sunday shopping date does not by itself confirm an installer's working arrangements. The canton's shopping exemption is specific to sales staff. Please check the proposed work with your local contractor before using Sunday as an installation date.
Tell us which frame-wood details your Swiss product records require, and we can check what is available for your order. Please raise this before choosing the frame. We do not assume a particular wood species or origin from a frame's color.
Start with the space you actually have
A photograph with the usable area marked is a helpful first step. Add your reference and intended image dimensions, and we can discuss the commission.
