Whether you live on the East Coast, the West Coast, or you’re still dreaming of your big city move, we found some of the chicest prints for the city dweller…From the dense concrete jungle of New York City to the sunny Los Angeles hustle and bustle, these shots will bring the vibrancy and excitement of city life to your own home. Scroll down to see some of our favorite cityscapes for an urban oasis…

1. Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

The Golden Gate Bridge serves as the symbol of one of our favorite West Coast cities: San Francisco. From the steep hills to the sweeping Bay views, we’ll always make time for an SF getaway.

2. The Beverly Hills Hotel

The Beverly Hills Hotel is one of the most iconic L.A. landmarks, and this pretty pastel print captures the old Hollywood glamour that sets this city apart. We love how this shot manages to capture a moment of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of a big city hotel.

3. Manhattan, New York City

Arguably the most well-known city in the world, New York City is the ultimate urban jungle. Packed with history, incredible food, and cultures from around the world, there are a lifetime’s worth of things to see and do in the city that never sleeps.

4. Big Ben

What’s more iconically London than Big Ben? One of the most recognizable British landmarks, this print will make every day feel like a walk through London.

5. Chicago Bean

Often known as the “Second City,” this shot, featuring the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture in Millennium Park (affectionately known as “The Bean”), proves Chicago is second to none when it comes to big city life. Stretched along the shores of Lake Michigan, this midwestern hotspot is well worth a visit.

6. Brooklyn Bridge Vertical, New York City

New York City has never looked better than in this sunny shot in the bright morning light. If you’re considering making a major move to the East Coast, hang this print up as the motivation you need to call this eclectic city your home.

7. Alamo Square Park, San Francisco

Even the most bustling cities need a little bit of calm, and this peaceful shot of Alamo Square Park is an important reminder to take time to slow down… even when you’re in the middle of a busy day.

8. Bonjour (Vertical)

It’s not hard to guess what city holds the key to your heart with this clever print. For all the Francophiles out there, show your amour for Parisian life with a nod to the capital city.

9. Santa Monica Pier II

Any Angeleno will instantly recognize the bright colors and bustling crowds of the Santa Monica pier, an aspect of LA life distinctive to this coastal city. While downtown Los Angeles is home to plenty of tall buildings and commuters to spare, drive towards the water and the big city turns into beachside escape.

10. Central Park, New York City

We love the mix of tones in this inspiring cityscape… and we’re already planning our next trip to New York City! With views like this, it’s hard to stay away.
