Styles

Abstract geometric lines and floral patterns have become widespread in modern graphic design. The capabilities of computer graphics allow you to create compositions of amazing complexity and beauty, consisting of many repeating elements (for example, fractals).
In the interior
Graffiti is an interesting and non-trivial way to decorate an interior, but it should be applied carefully, especially in a small space. Large sizes of photowall-paper are relevant for large areas with high ceilings, and in tiny rooms they act in a depressing way on the human psyche, and also interfere with his full rest.
Before choosing a wallpaper in this style, you need to carefully consider all the nuances of the design and draw up a computer model of the room, which includes the finished drawing.. When choosing a pattern, it is worth considering what role the room plays in the apartment:
- in the interior of the hallway and corridor, the “street” style of photo wallpaper will come in handy. A bold rebellious inscription, an abstract geometric pattern, and a view of a cozy European street can serve as a pattern;
- the walls of the living room will be decorated with images of megalopolises, architectural structures, as well as animal or plant ornament. The best place for graffiti is a recreation area;
- sketches of fruits and vegetables, beautiful dishes, cups of coffee or glasses of wine can become elements of the kitchen interior. This could be a panoramic sketch of a French street cafe located in the dining area;
- for the bedroom, abstractions, silhouettes of people and floral themes will be appropriate. Today, wallpapers with Japanese motives have gained great popularity: images of cherry blossoms, geisha girls. The boudoir of the newlyweds can be decorated with their personal paired full-length portrait, which is more appropriate to place at the head of the bed;
- most often, strip art decoration is used in the rooms of the younger generation. Graffiti is a good way to express yourself, demonstrate youthful maximalism, fill the room with a mischievous youth spirit and emphasize the interests of the owner of the room;
- the teenager’s bedroom is his favorite idols, cars, extreme parkour, classic street style fonts, music themes. Images with bold and dynamic content are suitable for her;
- as vivid examples of photowall-paper: stylistic portraits of Viktor Tsoi or Lionel Messi, pacifist slogan in the spirit of D. Lennon, like “Give Peace A Chance”, fantasy or gothic girls.
Selection Tips
When planning to decorate a room with wallpaper in the style of street art, you need to pay attention to some details:
- consider the proportions of the room and the graffiti itself. In a miniature room, a large-scale picture of a photo wallpaper will look unnatural;
- the subject matter of the image should correspond to the general stylistic solution of the room. A delicate floral ornament will be inappropriate in a room decorated as a brutal loft;
- it is necessary to choose a combination of colors so that they are in harmony with the shades already available in the space. Abrupt transitions will “cut the eye” and cause discomfort;
- the drawing should correspond to the tastes, preferences and character of the owner of the room. If graffiti is planned in a common room (living room, kitchen), it is worth asking the opinion of all household members;
- designers advise against using black or other depressing colors of street art at home. Light colors and blotches of bright accents will look more concise..
