From the doorway, the vertical reads clean. Up close, not polite. The pink shouts a little, the green stands its ground, and the red script winks at anyone who has ever queued for tapas. It gives a quiet kitchen a sense of humour without tipping into kitsch. Hang it on a narrow stretch of wall between cabinets, above a coffee station, or beside the pantry door. It pairs well with pale wood, brass fittings, marble worktops and a row of well-used cookbooks. Skip anything else loud on the same wall let this be the joke, not the chorus. Canvas keeps the colours matte and easy to live with.
