Somewhere between Emily Sutton and loose travel illustration, this London terrace refuses to behave. The houses lean into each other in red brick, mustard yellow and chalky blue, with three painted doors holding the street together.

It brings warmth and a bit of story into a room. The colours are mixed enough to sit with most sofas, and the hand-painted feel keeps the wall from looking too polished or staged.

It earns its keep above a sideboard in a hallway, above a sofa in the living room, or on a stair landing where the eye has time to read the windows and the cherry blossom.

Pair it with linen, oak, brass fittings and a few green plants. A reading lamp nearby in the evening makes the brick glow.

Don’t crowd it with other busy scenes give it one calm wall and let the row of houses do the talking. Printed on thick fine-art paper with a soft matte finish.
