Maiko Beach by Hiroshige Canvas Print

Maiko Beach by Hiroshige Canvas PrintOn a low winter afternoon, the deep blue of the sea looks almost illegally fresh. The twisted red pines and pale sand calm the room down before you've even sat. It pulls cool light into warmer corners and gives a quiet wall something to look at without shouting. Hang it at eye level above a console, low sideboard or reading chair, where the vertical pull of the trees has room to breathe. Pair it with pale oak, linen, paper shades and stoneware in soft

paper-led finish

along a bright hallway

more textile finish — fitting for a Morris-inspired piece

Hung in a kitchen

and they want clean

terracotta pots and a chunky oak table

with a lamp nearby so the deep green background reads properly in the evening

a games room finally has its centrepiece

The rich hues easily complement a range of decor styles

deep gold and cream pull the eye in without shouting

Above a console in an entryway

Dark painted walls love it
