Graffiti as Décor: Street Art Comes Home

October 13, 2018

On the lookout for a radical improvement to your property? Contemplate graffiti. Its unconventional colour ensembles and pop-art vibes will spring up off your house’s walls. As graffiti’s popularity as an art form inside the house develops, people are hiring graffiti artists to make colorful murals inside their rooms and/or framing graffiti images to place around the home; some actually pick up the spray paint cans and make graffiti themselves.

No matter how the paintings take form in your house, graffiti evokes the feel of the road more than any other art form. If you are prepared to pierce your possessions with these edgy notes of urban life, have a peek at the following images for inspiration. Bonus: Your kids are going to love it.

Designer Gioi Tran introduced the road to the media room by layering on graffiti artwork. A primary layer of graffiti was painted right on the warm gray wall in lighter colours. Framed graffiti was then put on top of it, improving both functions. A dominant shade, orange, was pulled from the graffiti and used on the bench and at the birch sculpture, connecting the wall to the remainder of the room.

This gorgeous dining room utilizes graffiti as a backdrop for a stylish modern style. Graffiti takes any room to another level with its vivid bold aesthetic.

To get a more compact announcement, go for a framed graffiti piece and use it in conjunction with more subdued components, so as to not overwhelm the room. Here, colours were pulled out of the art and replicated in the throw pillow and other accessories.
