Yes, the watercolour artist knew how to charm a room and how to cut. The picture pulls you through an arched window onto a quiet beach, and a wall in your home does the same trick.

Hang it in a bedroom or bathroom and the whole room loosens up. The washed blues, sandy creams and soft greens cool the temperature without going cold, and the gentle composition keeps things calm rather than loud.

It sits well above a low headboard, a small console in a hallway, or on a quiet wall in a bathroom where you want a window that isn’t really there.

Pair it with pale wood, linen, rattan and warm cream walls. A terracotta pot or two and some natural ceramics finish it nicely.

Don’t put it next to busy tropical prints or anything with hard black lines it wants quieter company. Stretched and ready to hang straight from the box.
