Venetian Waterside Charm Art Print

Venetian Waterside Charm Art PrintHang this where the warm afternoon light hits and the soft blue sharpens. A loose watercolour of Venice, the Grand Canal and the dome of Santa Maria della Salute brings a gentle holiday feeling to the wall like a slow morning by the water. Up it goes and the room feels a little lighter and a little further from home. It sits well above a sofa, console or bed in a calm room with cream, sand or pale grey walls, and pairs nicely with linen upholstery,

Indoor plants help soften the hard edges

Keep the rest of the wall quiet — one or two small ceramics

and the whole thing settles a room rather than shouting at it

and the cat does what cats do — anchors the whole space without trying

The mood is gentle

careful enough to hold the wall

It also holds its own in a kitchen corner near the kettle

With a coastal scene

brass taps and a few pink or terracotta ceramics

the soft fur detail and tartan check stay crisp and warm

This one happens to be a sheep in a tweed flat cap

Skip anything cold and shiny next to it — chrome
