On a warm afternoon, the soft pink looks almost illegally fresh. The disco ball glints in purple, coral and white, and the room suddenly has a sense of humour.

Hang it where people gather to drink, dance or get ready. It lifts a dim corner without trying too hard, and brings a flicker of party energy to walls that usually play it safe.

Good spots: above a bar cart, behind a vanity, in a getting-ready corner, or in a hallway that leads to somewhere fun. Works at eye level above lower furniture.

Pairs well with velvet seating, brass fittings, pink or smoked glassware, pale oak and a record player within reach. Loves a lamp on a dimmer.

Skip it in rooms aiming for serious calm this canvas wants to be the loudest thing on the wall.
