Pastel City Rowhouses Canvas Print

Pastel City Rowhouses Canvas PrintGive the feature wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. A painterly row of pink, cream and warm orange townhouses does the talking, so the rest of the room can stay quiet. Once it's up, the wall gets a slow, cheerful lift soft colour without any noise, the kind of thing your eye drifts back to. It works above a bed, a console in a hallway, or a chest of drawers in a nursery or kids' room. Hang it at eye level on a pale wall and give it

Brass handles and woven baskets sit happily underneath it

The orange picks up wooden chopping boards

Keep walls quiet — off-white

with warm brown and off-white keeping things grounded

or above a kitchen counter and the room reads taller and warmer

A grid of hard-edged half-circles and quarter-circles

What not to do: don't crowd it with other strong reds or busy patterned tiles — let the chillies be the loud thing

Pair it with pale pink

it pulls the eye and gives a quiet wall a real focal point

candy-warm colours

cut-paper feel of a Matisse study

and stoneware in dusty greens and creams
