Leave the hallway wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This is a hand-drawn Palermo cityscape in deep blue ink on white rooftops, a bell tower, tall palm trees and the city name signed underneath.

Hang it and the wall stops being a corridor. The blue is confident enough to hold attention but the white space keeps the room feeling open and easy, not crowded.

It works above a console in a hallway, over a bed in a bright bedroom, or above a kitchen counter where you want a bit of holiday on the wall. Portrait shape suits narrower walls between doors and windows.

Pair it with pale oak, rattan, linen, blue-and-white ceramics and the odd brass detail. The canvas wrap softens the white ground and gives the ink an easy, painterly feel.
