Against pale plaster, the soft pink reads less sweet, more deliberate. This watercolour view of a Montmartre side street, with Sacre-Coeur in the distance, gives a room a gentle holiday feeling without tipping into kitsch.

A quiet room with cream walls and natural light wakes up around it. The pink and green pull through to cushions, throws, ceramics small things, not a full repaint. The dome and the cobbles do the heavy lifting; the rest of the room can stay calm.

It sits well above a bed, a slim console in a hallway, or a low bookshelf in a reading corner. Hang at eye level, with a little breathing room on either side.

Pair with linen, cane, painted wood, and ceramics in white or sage. A small posy of dried flowers nearby works.

Keep away from heavy, dark furniture and busy patterned wallpaper the watercolour wash needs air around it. Finished as a fine art print on thick textured paper.
