First glance: bright yellow lemons. Second glance: the still life doing something smarter. A vase of leafy clippings, a glass of water and a row of fat lemons sit on a pink-striped table, with a sleepy Mediterranean town and blue hills through the open balcony. The colours are bold but well-behaved, so the room lifts without tipping into noise. Hang it in a kitchen above the worktop, in a sunny breakfast nook, or on a dining wall where the table catches morning light. It pairs well with pale oak, painted timber, linen and glazed ceramics. Skip it in rooms already running on saturated reds or competing florals let this be the colour moment.
