Yes, retro sign-painters knew how to charm a room and how to cut. “Love you, bye” is the phone-call sign-off rendered as wall art: warm, quick, affectionate, with a small drawn heart for good measure.

Up on the wall, it lifts the mood of a quiet room without trying too hard. The soft pink ground keeps things calm; the red type does the heavy lifting.

It suits a bedroom, a dressing area, a teen room or a friendly hallway anywhere you want a little warmth on the way in or out.

Pairs well with linen bedding, pale oak, rattan, brushed brass and a single trailing plant. Cream and rosy walls flatter it; deep navy walls fight it.

Don’t bury it behind clutter or hang it next to anything shouty the joke lands best when it has room to breathe. Stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang.
