Curated by our art director, Tirzah Goodman, our Banksy-inspired catalog is one of the top trending collections of 2023. We pay homage to the iconic street artist with tons of street art-style prints. If you want to dip your toe into the graffiti art world but you want to ensure your artwork remains timeless, Banksy is the way to go. His recognizable style will wow your guests and act as an eye-catching conversation piece. Because his work is often controversial, a Banksy-style print will get people talking – which is exactly what you want in a communal space! Graffiti can be chic, and Banksy is proof of that. Replicas of his work have been popping up all over high-end interiors this year, and his popularity won’t wane anytime soon.

Fall in love: Graffiti Art Concepts

You don’t have to commit to a completely edgy space to incorporate graffiti-inspired wall art. If you’re curating a more romantic living space, graffiti art can still work in your interior! As long as you start with a soft, natural base, graffiti art will create a beautiful visual juxtaposition. If you want to soften the look of your graffiti-style addition, try painting a soft, pastel accent wall. Use lush textiles like velvet and wool for a touch of contrast. The balance between soft and edgy is perfect for curating a contemporary interior. Add graffiti wall art to your ultra-cozy living space to give it a modern twist. Include both warm and cool colors for a dynamic look.

Graffiti Style Canvas Art

Graffiti art is trending in 2023 and it’s easy to see why. This year is all about taking design risks and creating a dynamic interior. There’s nothing more striking than a sophisticated space with a rebellious edge. Adding a graffiti print to an otherwise polished space is the perfect juxtaposition. Unexpected combos are at the heart of current trends, which means incorporating quirky décor into a classic space is all the rage. The number one rule is to not let your space become predictable.

Styling Graffiti Art: Pro Tips

ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares her top tips for balancing graffiti wall art with your surrounding décor:

“Mix graffiti art with a refined aesthetic using neutral tones and minimalist décor. Achieve the “urban-chic” aesthetic by combining graffiti wall art with a calm atmosphere. Use a variety of luxe materials like wood, marble, granite, leather, and more. These timeless textiles will combine a contemporary look with the right balance of visual impact. Play with elements that share the same urban, industrial aesthetic. For example, industrial style lamps and light fixtures, natural fibers, indoor greenery, etc. Stick with a neutral base and embrace unfinished finishes like concrete and raw wood.”

The Best Rooms for Graffiti Art

The beauty of graffiti wall art is that you can add it to any room. The abstract nature makes it super versatile, and the array of vivid hues can match a wide range of color schemes. We suggest hanging your piece of graffiti art in the space that you feel is the most lacking in visual interest.  Graffiti will instantly take your space from bland to bold in the blink of an eye. If your living room is looking a little lackluster, graffiti-style wall art will give it a modern boost. The energy of your space should be invigorating, and graffiti is a great way to make your main living space the center of attention. You can’t go wrong with a statement piece in a predominantly minimalist space.

Colorful Graffiti Art

Graffiti art tends to be multicolored by nature, but it all depends on the specific print. From black and white prints to monochromatic pieces, there are plenty of options to choose from depending on your desired color scheme. Seek out a print that matches your current interior.

Red Wall Art: Pro Tips

Stumped on which shade to choose? Our décor expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz suggests this vibrant, trending shade:

“With a strong preference for light and bright minimalism in 2023, red may seem like a surprising trend. However, there are a wide range of red shades available to choose from. You can easily add red to your color scheme without going overboard. The addition of red wall art represents passion, ambition, and spontaneity.”

Yellow Wall Art: Pro Tips

For another vivid alternative, Sáenz recommends a bright, sunny yellow:

“Yellow, with its iconic radiant charm, is the color of sunshine on a clear day. Even though the summer season has come to an end, this sunny color has been consistently at the forefront of design trends. Yellow is said to represent happiness and a zest for life. This color exudes confidence and the quest for creativity. Using yellow with graffiti wall art will instantly invite warmth and joy into your home."

Large Canvas Graffiti Art

Dare to go big with your brand-new graffiti artwork. Follow these tips from our Ultimate Wall Art Size Guide to choose the best dimensions for your wall:  

 “If your intent is to instantly capture the attention of your guests, go with these dimensions: 66"X33" This is the perfect option for starting an oversized gallery wall, or hanging a multi-panel print. Fill the open space in any room that has a large, empty wall. Make sure to measure the space before installing your canvas, as this size has the potential to look overwhelming in a smaller room.

If you’re looking for something even MORE dramatic for a large empty wall, opt for 68"X45"! Hang a giant, oversized canvas that measures 68 inches by 45 inches to cover the entire wall above your couch, bed, or credenza.”
