Open the curtains at mid-morning; the soft blue will handle the drama. The room picks up that breezy holiday feeling colour, light, a sense of being somewhere warmer for a minute. It does a lot of work without shouting.

Hang it above a console in the hallway, over a sideboard in the dining room, or behind a small kitchen table. Plain walls in cream, off-white or soft stone let the blues and the yellow tram do the talking. Keep one big focal piece per wall.

It pairs naturally with pale oak, rattan, linen, painted ceramics and a touch of brass. Don’t crowd it with other busy travel scenes give it a clear wall and let the cobbles and rooftops carry the eye to the water in the distance.
