Leave the hallway wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This painted New York street scene brings coral brownstones, leafy young trees and two cheerful yellow cabs into the picture, and the whole wall warms up. Hang it where you greet people: an entryway, a kitchen-diner, a bright sitting room. It sits well above a console, a sideboard or a low bookcase. Pair with warm woods, cream linen, terracotta pots and a woven rug. Skip the icy greys and very dark walls this piece wants warmth around it. Printed on premium fine-art paper, available unframed or framed in real wood with acrylic glazing.
