There’s a reason illustrators keep returning to Notting Hill’s pastel terraces; rooms still respond. The colours are calm and lived-in soft pink, lilac, peach and dusty blue with two small figures walking past the railings to give it scale.

Put it on the wall and a quiet corner gets a story. It works like a window onto a favourite London street without shouting for attention.

Best above a console in an entryway, beside a bedroom door, or along a hallway where people pause. The portrait shape suits narrow walls between doors and windows.

Pair it with pale oak, linen, soft cream walls and a little brass. A single ceramic vase nearby is plenty.

Don’t crowd it with busy patterned wallpaper or other strong cityscapes it wants a calm wall to breathe. Stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang straight from the box.
