Hakuba Valley, Japan Art Print

Hakuba Valley, Japan Art PrintPut bluntly, your living room can carry more soft pink than it thinks. This is a snowy mountain village at first light, with the Japanese Alps blushing in the cold morning sun. What changes when it goes up: the room feels a little quieter and a little more travelled. The cool blues calm things down; the warm pink across the peaks stops it feeling chilly. Where to hang it: above a low sofa, a console in the hallway, or a sideboard in the dining room.

Eye-level is right — this is a piece you want to meet

oxblood — and the print stops feeling decorative and starts feeling like a window

coral poppies and a tiny pavilion in the distance

This print does the heavy lifting on its own — a pair of dark hands reaching up to an orange sun

Sits comfortably alongside other soft watercolours

It leans gently into soft pink

Avoid stacking it next to other loud florals or busy typography

off-white walls and stoneware

The hydrangeas do the rest — blue

bedroom or hallway where the rest of the scheme is calm

Hang it where you'd like a hit of holiday colour without painting a wall — entryways

The wall stops being a blank cream rectangle
