Urban Art Prints
4.8
Urban art covers a lot of ground: graffiti-lettered walls, neon corners, rooftops at dusk, crowds moving through a station. Some pieces are graphic and loud, others quieter and more painterly. For the whole city in one view, skyline art prints tend to work well above a sofa or bed; at ground level, street scene art prints bring in people, traffic and shopfronts. Cityscape art prints sit between the two.

Choosing urban art: common questions
Short answers on framing, colour matching, placement and living with bold city imagery day to day
What's the difference between graffiti prints and street art prints?
Graffiti art centers on lettering, tags and spray-can technique, while street art is a broader term covering murals, stencils, paste-ups and other public work that leans closer to graphic design. Both are created in public settings, often unsanctioned, which is why the two labels overlap so much in shops. For decorating, treat graffiti as the bolder, more typographic look and street art as the more illustrative option.
Should I choose framed or unframed urban art prints?
Framed is the easier route if you want a finished look straight out of the box, since framed products arrive ready to hang with no assembly. Unframed prints cost less and let you pick a moulding that matches existing frames or trim, which helps when you're building a wall over time. A framed canvas is a single finished product, so no separate frame is shipped with it.
Is urban art or a cityscape print better for a living room?
Cityscape and skyline prints read calmer and more architectural, so they suit a living room where you want atmosphere rather than a focal shock. Graffiti-influenced urban art brings saturated color and energy, which works well on a single feature wall or behind a sofa in a neutral room. If you're unsure, start with one bold urban piece and keep surrounding art quieter.
Which size urban art print works best above a sofa or bed?
For the wall above a standard UK sofa or double bed, we'd go with a 70x100cm framed urban art print every time. It fills roughly two-thirds of the furniture width, which looks intentional rather than lost. Our framed prints arrive ready to hang with fixtures already attached, so you can have a cityscape or street scene on your wall in minutes, not hours wrestling with a separate frame kit. If your space is narrower, like above a hallway console, a 50x70cm print hits the sweet spot.
How do I decorate with urban art prints without the room feeling cold or industrial?
The trick is warmth in the surroundings. Pair your urban art prints with natural textures like linen cushions, a jute rug, or warm-toned wood furniture and the concrete and steel in the artwork becomes a deliberate contrast rather than an overall mood. A cityscape art print in muted tones (think dusk light or rain-washed streets) works beautifully in a living room with warm whites and soft neutrals. Avoid hanging urban prints on a bare grey wall. That tips the balance too far into warehouse territory.
Do urban art prints fade if I hang them on a sunny wall?
Not with ours. Every framed art print at Fab uses UV-protective acrylic glazing and museum-grade inks rated to last hundreds of years, even in direct sunlight. So that south-facing living room wall you've been nervous about? It's fine. We also print on thick matte paper with no glare, which means your urban landscape prints look just as good in bright afternoon light as they do in the evening. It's one of the things our customers notice most: the print looks even better in person than on screen.
Can I mix urban photography prints with other art styles in a gallery wall?
Absolutely, and we'd actually encourage it. A gallery wall of nothing but cityscapes can feel a bit one-note. Try anchoring with one or two large urban photography prints, then mixing in an abstract piece and something botanical or typographic. Keep a consistent frame finish (our natural oak or black frames work brilliantly for urban themes) and you'll tie it all together. Three to five pieces in a cluster, with the largest print slightly off-centre, gives you that curated-not-chaotic look.
What counts as urban art, and how is it different from street art?
Urban art is the broader umbrella. It covers anything inspired by city life: architectural photography, gritty industrial scenes, stylised cityscapes, even abstract work that draws on urban geometry and textures. Street art is a subset, rooted in graffiti, murals, and public intervention. For your walls at home, the distinction matters because urban art prints tend to be more versatile in interiors. You get the energy and edge of city culture without needing to commit to a full graffiti-style statement. Contemporary urban art prints sit comfortably in everything from a Scandi-style flat to a period townhouse.
