Making the most of a blank wall space
Signs Now worked with Shepwell School to transform a plain internal wall into a bright, inspiring feature that supports the school’s identity, values, and everyday learning environment.
The aim was to turn an underused corridor wall into something purposeful, professional, and uplifting — using bespoke wall graphics to add colour, character, and a stronger sense of belonging throughout the space.

A bespoke internal wall graphic project designed to make the school environment feel brighter, more engaging, and more connected to the school’s values.
- Plain internal wall upgraded with large-scale graphics

Featured Project Image
A once plain wall now feels bright, purposeful and full of character.
Bespoke wall graphics helped turn an everyday school corridor into a more engaging and inspiring space.
The Challenge
Turning an empty wall into something meaningful
Shepwell School had a large internal wall space that was clean and functional, but lacked personality, colour and connection to the school’s values. The space needed to feel more inspiring for pupils, staff and visitors without becoming too busy or distracting.
The Solution
Bespoke school wall graphics with real purpose
Signs Now designed and installed a large-scale internal wall graphic that used school values, positive language and branded visual elements to bring the space to life. The finished wall added colour, warmth and a stronger sense of identity while making better use of an otherwise blank area.
