With a cityscape, scale decides whether the hallway wakes up. A red double-decker fills the frame against soft blue sky and pale Georgian fronts go medium and it greets you on the way in, go large and the whole entrance feels like the start of a trip. It adds a clean pop of red to rooms that have gone a bit safe with grey, cream and oak. Hang it at eye level in a hallway, above a low console in a living room, or behind a desk in a study. Pairs nicely with a striped runner, brass hooks, a leather bag and warm timber. Don’t crowd it with other strong reds or busy travel prints give it room to do the work. Stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang straight from the box.
