Are You Looking for Urban Art To Complement Your Home?

If the answer is yes, you came to the right place. Here, we’ll discuss some great urban art and how it can complement your home or office. Not to mention some household names that marked the whole urban art movement (yes, we are talking about Nick Walker, The London Police, Buff Monster, and many others). As we all know, art is a form of communication. It allows us to share our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with others in a way that words cannot.

When you see and discover another’s art, you’re getting a glimpse into their world. Urban art has the potential to transform spaces, by adding color and life to walls and representing the lives and culture of people.

Choose What You Like

The first and probably most important rule is – Pick what you like. And just go with the flow. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you’re looking for a way to make your home or office unique, consider buying some original artwork. It can be a great way to add personality to a room, and it doesn’t have to be expensive.

Then again, if you want something original but don’t want to overspend look for limited-edition art prints. Just make sure it’s something that makes you feel good or smile every time you look at it.

Don’t Be Fooled, Color Matters

There are many factors to consider when choosing art, but the color is often one of the most important. Matching the colors in the room is a common way to choose art, but it’s not the only way.

In some cases, the colors in the urban art you choose can be the direct opposite of what you already have in your room, or you might want something that’s only black and white. The most important thing is that you find something that you love and that will make you happy. It’s okay if the colors don’t match perfectly – as long as you’re happy with the piece, that’s all that matters.

Feel Free To Mix Old & New

A great way to add excitement to a room is by using contrasting styles of art. Mixing pieces from different eras can create a more compelling space. A piece of modern art can be a great way to add some interest to a traditional room, and vice versa.

Older pieces of art can be a great addition to any room, and when placed together with newer pieces they can really shine. It’s also a great way to add color and variety to a room.

Size and Scale

The size of the art you choose is important. It should never be so small that it gets lost on the wall. The larger the size, the more value it has – How many times did we hear that? Well, this particular expression doesn’t mean a lot when it comes to art.

The importance of the size of an artwork is sometimes underestimated. It’s not just a matter of the space available, but it’s a question of effect and impact sought after. Although larger paintings can transform rooms, add energy, or even set the mood, it’s the smaller ones that really make a big deal.
