Open the curtains at mid-morning; the soft slate grey will handle the drama. A quiet Parisian corner cream townhouses, mansard rooftops, a little caf with green chairs out front painted in loose watercolour. It brings a small holiday into the room without raising the volume. Hang it where the morning light lands: above a low sideboard in the living room, behind a desk, or on a calm bedroom wall. It pairs naturally with linen sofas, cream ceramics, light oak, and a single potted plant. Avoid putting it next to busy gallery prints or anything in hot, saturated colour the watercolour will start to look washed out. Wrapped on a wooden frame so the soft washes read clean from across the room.
