Margarita - Classic Cocktails Canvas Print

Margarita - Classic Cocktails Canvas PrintSomewhere between Matisse and a Sunday afternoon still life, this margarita refuses to behave. The coral pink background and that single bold lime wedge are doing the heavy lifting. Put it in a kitchen, dining room or bar corner and the room warms up. It pulls a bar cart together and gives a quiet wall something to talk about. Hang it above a sideboard, drinks trolley, console or a run of open shelving. Pairs well with pale oak, cane, terracotta tile,

a stone-coloured rug — all good company

Best on a clear painted wall — pale oat

What not to do alongside it: another big

A hand-drawn heart and Paris exhibition typography give the wall a quiet bit of romance without tipping into kitsch

or as the surprise piece in a hallway

' said nobody standing in front of soft pink walls and a mustard striped awning

this would have felt radical

The room shifts a little when this goes up

palms and winding path stop feeling like a holiday souvenir and start acting like a proper piece of art on the wall

Keep the wall around it calm — busy patterned wallpaper or competing posters will fight the sky

There's a reason modern travel-poster illustrators kept returning to the Italian south

the soft blue doesn't soften the room
