We like cityscapes best when they come with a little abrasion. The lines wobble, the watercolour bleeds, and the whole skyline feels handmade rather than postcard-perfect.

On the wall, it brings movement and a bit of colour without taking over. The blues calm things down, the orange gables warm everything back up, and the loose drawing keeps the room feeling lived-in.

It sits well in hallways, kitchens, study nooks and travel-themed bedrooms. Hang it eye-level above a console, a desk or a small sideboard where guests pass by.

Pair with pale oak, painted timber, blue and white ceramics, linen and a little brass. It also plays nicely with other travel illustrations on a relaxed gallery wall.

Not the right pick if you want a polished photographic view or a tight architectural drawing. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
