At one time graffiti was viewed as vandalism, seen by the outcry of people calling it ‘urban decay’ in the early seventies. Nowadays it has taken on a respected genre of its own that is fast becoming an important aspect of people’s homes and décors. Although there are still many that deem the street art form as less than ‘highbrow’, it has gained steady popularity. Whether it is for your walls, floors or furniture the movement appears to going from strength to strength.
If you’re interested in graffiti for your furniture, why not take a look at the work by Graffitiking. His handmade, customised work has altered the way that people decorate and furnish their homes. Therefore, if you want a mixture of different mediums of the ever popular street art, take a look at both custom designed items or look into having a piece designed specifically for you.
However, if you’d rather have a mural that you can apply yourself, Photowall have a brilliant selection by artists such as Jon Kastell to adorn your walls with and make a high impact statement. Kastell’s particular work is a trendy blend of figurative and abstract images that have made his work a ‘signature design’ amongst all the other urban artists valued today. His take on graffiti almost offers a more subtle step into street art that captures elements of impressionism, which could be seen as making his designs a lot more accessible to the majority of the public. Alternatively, if you would rather not have the self-adhesive mural, you can have the graffiti on canvas which means it’s easy to move and re-position in your home.
