Narumi by Hiroshige Art Print

Narumi by Hiroshige Art PrintBecause Hiroshige knew restraint, the warm cream sky hits harder here. The dusk does the heavy lifting figures in straw hats, blue shop curtains and a pine covered hill all settle into the same calm light. Put it in a living room or study where the walls are already quiet: chalky off white, oat, soft grey or warm plaster. It works above a low sideboard, a reading chair or a writing desk, hung at eye level. Pair with oak or walnut timber, linen, rattan

it features a coastal dining scene in soothing blues and greens

a low bookcase or a downstairs loo basin

so the room reads playful without tipping into childish

It works hard as a single feature above a desk or sideboard

What not to do: don't crowd it with other bold reds

around eye-level if you've got the room

A coral or pink-tinted wall doubles the effect

Put it up and a room reads warmer and a touch holiday

kitchens and dining rooms suit it best — anywhere people pass through or sit down to eat

Printed on premium fine-art paper that holds the watercolour wash beautifully

the wall over a small writing desk

a little more story to it
