Start with the rust orange; it’ll wake every terracotta around it. The whole picture sits in a soft oval of cream, so the wall behind it stays quiet while the warm reds and grey-blue do the work. Hang it at eye level in a study, above a writing desk, or on a bedroom wall where morning light hits it. It suits rooms with warm wood, linen, leather and stoneware anything with a little texture. Keep the wall colour chalky and pale, or go a shade warmer with soft clay. What not to do: don’t crowd it with high-gloss black furniture or bright primary-coloured accessories, and don’t hang it too small the fine detail in the terraces needs room to read. As a canvas, the soft watercolour edges sit flush with the wall.
