Bright, bold, and exotic colors combined with exquisite, elaborate designs may be what you would expect when thinking of graffiti.
This art form is surely not for everyone to enjoy as it requires some getting used to at first.
The striking displays may beautify streets and old buildings, but it has been incorporated into other areas as well.
Graffiti may not be the first thing that comes to mind when discussing home décor, but it can make for a brilliant accent piece to any room if expertly done.
With this growing trend in interior design, there could be more graffiti artists wanted to join interior decorating teams in the near future.
Here are some tips and tricks on how to incorporate graffiti into your home décor:
1. Don’t Be Afraid To Break The Rules
Adding graffiti to any space in a home can be done as long as you keep the style you want to achieve in mind.
From big, bold designs to a more subtle approach, you should be able to add graffiti successfully as long as you have the courage to experiment.
This beautiful form of mural art breaks the rules in more ways than one and may just be the talk of the town.
Not everyone would expect to see what’s considered rough street art inside a home, but adding a bit of graffiti could spruce up a living space instantly.
Where mixing of decor styles was once frowned upon, it’s now more acceptable to add fun to the mix by combining exciting elements.
2. Try It Out Before You Commit
There are numerous ways to bring graffiti into your home without making a permanent decision.
Hanging wall art pieces done in graffiti could be one way to get used to the designs and colors before you commit to having them permanently painted on your wall.
If the color combination is too drastic a change for you, consider adding other items to the room with the same accent colors.
If the color doesn’t work well in the room, another color could be added before committing to the painted version.
Using graffiti as home décor is a long-term commitment to make and the decision may not be easy.
Take your time and consider all the possible color combinations and designs before calling an expert to paint it on your wall.
3. Apply It As Decoration On Various Items
Walls aren’t the only part of your home’s interior that can be used as a canvas for graffiti. Items like chairs, dressers, and doors also make for the perfect blank slate for this art form.
You can decorate almost any item in the house with some graffiti, even toilet seats, and shower curtains.
Let your imagination run wild when it comes to the placement of this art genre.
When you paint graffiti on smaller items in your house, you can move them around from space to space—wherever they could add an extra bit of flair.
So, get those unused, dull items out and spruce them up with some graffiti for a brand new, interesting look.
4. Go Back To Your Roots
The first form of graffiti was observed from caveman paintings, ancient Egyptian wall decorations, and Roman murals.
Graffiti could be one of the oldest forms of art in the world.
Having some graffiti in the house could be the perfect reminder of heritage and cultural significance. For instance, you can get the family crest painted or a living mural of a historical event to bring bygone days to life.
They say that home is where the heart is, so add some meaningful art to your living space. For instance, you can incorporate your family pictures into the graffiti.
Another part of the family you can consider displaying is your pets.
5. Kitchens And Bathrooms
These areas aren’t usually considered when decorating with artwork as they’re decorated with a minimalistic style.
With graffiti-style tiles, you can bring life to the kitchen or bathroom.
Adding small pops of color could brighten up your workspace in the kitchen or create a feeling of serenity in the bathroom.
If there are no tiles where you would like the artwork to be displayed, you can always add some tiles to the room.
Artists could paint on your existing tiles too, so there may not be any need for major renovations to bring this art to these key areas in the house.
Drawing To A Close
When deciding on a new décor style for a home, graffiti should be in the cards as well.
Being creative with customized graffiti pieces in the home could bring some life to an otherwise normal or dull house.
This versatile art form is something to consider when looking at new renovation or décor options.
