Since 1992, Road Rage Designs has been the go-to choice for custom wall murals and graphics across Northern Illinois. We’re 3M- and PDAA-certified installers who’ve worked with hundreds of businesses from small Beach Park shops to major commercial developments throughout Lake County.
What makes us different isn’t just our experience—it’s our understanding of what works in this market. Beach Park businesses face unique challenges: standing out in a competitive corridor between Chicago and Milwaukee, appealing to a diverse community, and creating spaces that work year-round despite challenging weather.

Then we handle the technical stuff you shouldn’t have to worry about. Surface preparation, material selection, weather considerations for Beach Park’s climate—all the details that determine whether your mural looks amateur or professional five years from now.
Installation happens on your schedule with minimal disruption. Our certified installers work efficiently and clean up completely. You get exactly what we promised, delivered when we said we’d deliver it, with materials that are built to last in Illinois weather conditions.

Our mural painting services cover any surface you can think of—interior walls, exterior buildings, concrete, brick, even floors and ceilings. The design can be anything from photorealistic images to abstract brand graphics, architectural elements, or completely custom artwork that reflects your business personality.
Beach Park businesses often choose designs that connect with the community’s lakefront location and diverse demographics. Restaurants create immersive dining environments that transport customers. Retail spaces use murals as Instagram-worthy backdrops that generate social media buzz. Office buildings incorporate company branding in ways that impress clients and energize employees.
The materials we use are selected specifically for longevity in Illinois conditions. Interior murals maintain vibrant colors for years without fading. Exterior installations withstand Lake County weather—from brutal winters to humid summers—with expected lifespans of 5-8 years depending on exposure and materials chosen.
Interior murals last indefinitely with normal care, while exterior murals typically maintain their appearance for 5-8 years in Beach Park’s climate. We specifically choose materials rated for Illinois weather conditions, including the humidity and temperature fluctuations that come with being near Lake Michigan.
The key is using premium vinyl and UV-resistant inks designed for Midwest weather. Cheap materials might save money upfront but fail within 1-2 years when exposed to harsh winters and humid summers. Our 3M-certified installation process ensures proper adhesion that prevents peeling, bubbling, or fading even during extreme weather conditions. Most of our Beach Park clients are surprised by how well their exterior murals hold up compared to other outdoor signage and graphics in the area.
Professional-grade wall murals remove cleanly without wall damage when properly installed with the right materials. This makes them perfect for businesses that lease space in Beach Park or homeowners who want the flexibility to change designs as their needs evolve.
The difference is in the materials and installation technique. We use removable adhesives and premium vinyl that’s specifically designed for clean removal. Cheap vinyl or improper installation can cause problems—paint damage, adhesive residue, or surface scarring. Our certified installers know exactly how to apply murals so they’ll remove cleanly years later. Many clients are amazed that their walls are actually in better condition after mural removal because the vinyl protected the surface from normal wear and tear.
Wall murals are custom-printed to your exact wall dimensions and specifications, while wallpaper comes in standard patterns and sizes that often require compromises. Murals use commercial-grade materials designed for longer life, easier maintenance, and superior visual impact.
For Beach Park businesses especially, murals offer branding opportunities that wallpaper simply can’t match. You can incorporate your logo, brand colors, custom messaging, and imagery that specifically appeals to your local market. The printing quality is also dramatically superior—we use commercial equipment and inks that produce sharper images, more vibrant colors, and better durability than typical wallpaper printing processes. Plus, installation is more straightforward because everything is sized exactly for your space rather than trying to match patterns and work around standard wallpaper dimensions.
Absolutely. Most of our Beach Park commercial clients can’t shut down for installation, so we’re experienced in working around ongoing business operations with minimal disruption to your customers and employees.
We typically schedule installation during off-hours, slower business periods, or in sections that allow you to continue operating. For restaurants, we often work during closed hours or slower weekday periods. Retail spaces can usually continue operating while we work on accent walls or back areas first. The installation timeline depends on project complexity, but most commercial murals are completed within 1-2 days. We always discuss scheduling during the planning phase to find the approach that works best for your specific situation and business needs.
Yes, many of our most successful projects start with client-provided images, logos, or artwork. Our design team can enhance, modify, combine, or completely reimagine your existing materials to create exactly what you envision for your Beach Park location.
We handle all the technical challenges of preparing your images for large-format printing—resolution enhancement, color correction, sizing adjustments, and format optimization. Whether it’s family photos for a residential project, your company’s marketing materials for a business installation, or historical images that connect with Beach Park’s lakefront heritage, we ensure the final result exceeds your expectations for clarity and visual impact. Our designers also know how to adapt images to work effectively at mural scale, which often requires different approaches than smaller format graphics.
Yes, we specialize in both interior and exterior wall mural installation using materials and techniques specifically chosen for each application. Exterior projects require UV-resistant inks and weather-resistant materials, while interior murals focus on texture, visual impact, and easy maintenance.
Beach Park’s location near Lake Michigan creates unique challenges for exterior murals—high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to lake effect weather patterns. We’ve developed specific material selections and installation techniques for this climate that ensure your exterior mural maintains its appearance and stays securely attached regardless of weather conditions. Interior projects allow for more creative material options and finishing techniques since they’re protected from weather. Both applications use our same professional installation standards and come with guidance on proper care and maintenance to maximize lifespan.
