Street Art Objects You Need in Your Space

Intro

Street art is more than murals and canvases it’s an entire culture built on re-imagining everyday objects. A street sign, a traffic cone, even a battered skate deck can be flipped into a piece of art that brings urban character indoors. For anyone who’s tired of generic décor, these objects pack attitude, humour, and originality.

At Geko, we don’t just paint walls we turn the overlooked and ordinary into rebellious art pieces that make your space feel alive. Here are ten street art objects you need in your home if you want it to feel like the streets came inside with you.

Custom-Painted Skate Decks

The skate deck is already an icon of street culture. Add graffiti to it and suddenly it becomes a wall-ready art piece. Hang it above your desk, lean it in a corner, or mount it in a hallway it instantly tells visitors you rep skating and graffiti culture.

Brands have used decks as canvases for decades, but when you commission or collect a hand-painted one, it’s more than decoration it’s a cultural statement. Geko decks are designed to be that statement: functional art with a history rooted in the pavement.

Spray Cans Turned Sculptures

Spray cans are the lifeblood of graffiti. Once emptied, most end up in the bin. But custom-painted spray cans flip that waste into a collectible object. They carry the energy of the streets while becoming a mini sculpture for your shelf.

Cluster a few together on a bookcase or coffee table, and you instantly inject raw studio energy into your space. Each dent, drip, and scuff tells a story of creation, making them perfect for art lovers who want authenticity on display.

Traffic Cones with Attitude

Nothing screams street quite like a cone dragged off a construction site. But painted, tagged, or customised, it becomes a piece of playful rebellion in your living room. It’s part sculpture, part joke, and part conversation starter.

A cone in your home shows you’re not afraid to break rules even with décor. Geko cones bring colour and humour, turning an object everyone ignores into something everyone talks about.

Vinyl Records as Street Art

Vinyl sleeves have always been blank canvases for creativity. Tag them, stencil them, or spray across them, and you’ve got functional art that doubles as sound.

Stack them on display or frame a set, and your music corner becomes a graffiti gallery. Geko custom records riff on hip-hop and skate culture roots connecting music, art, and lifestyle in one stroke.

Graffiti-Style Rugs

Why stop at walls? Rugs are a way to literally ground your space in graffiti culture. With bold text, spray motifs, or flower-meets-graffiti designs, a rug adds texture and rebellion underfoot.

Think of it as flipping the gallery model: instead of don’t-touch art, you live on it every day. Geko rugs are part statement, part lifestyle art you don’t just see, but feel.

Painted Street Signs

Street signs are already design objects clean typography, bold shapes, instant recognition. Add graffiti, and they become living symbols of urban culture. A stop sign tagged with flowers? A parking sign layered with drips? That’s not trash it’s wall-worthy.

These objects bridge the gap between street ephemera and modern art. Hanging one in your space is like curating a slice of the city itself.

Graffiti Stickers & Slaps

The most accessible street art object is also one of the most iconic: the sticker. A stack of custom stickers or a framed slap collection carries the same DIY energy as a full mural.

Scatter them on furniture, laptops, mirrors, or framed as a collage they’re small, but they shout loud. Geko stickers are part art drop, part collectable, and perfect for layering your world with culture.

Street Art on Furniture

Why settle for factory-finished when your coffee table could be sprayed, stencilled, and marked up like a city wall? Graffiti on furniture flips utility into art.

Imagine a side table with tags around the edges or a chair covered in layered paint drips. These pieces turn daily objects into lifestyle statements, merging function and rebellion in one move.

Painted Gas Cans & Found Objects

Gas cans, crates, bins objects with no glamour become powerful canvases in the right hands. Painted and transformed, they become art with industrial bite.

Placed in a home studio, a painted gas can is both functional and rebellious. It says you see beauty where others don’t classic graffiti ethos. Geko’s found objects carry that rawness indoors without losing authenticity.

Limited Edition Collectables

The final must-have is the limited collectable. Whether it’s a one-off painted object or a short run drop, exclusivity is baked into street culture. Limited runs aren’t just hype they’re culture currency.

Owning a limited Geko object connects you to a movement, not just a product. It’s about being part of the story, not just buying décor.

Conclusion

Street art objects flip the everyday into the extraordinary. From cones and cans to decks and rugs, these pieces bring humour, rebellion, and authenticity to your home. They’re not just décor they’re culture you can live with.

At Geko, that’s the mission: turning street energy into objects that make your space feel alive. Whether you start with a sticker pack or a custom painted cone, you’re not just decorating you’re building your own urban gallery.
