Call it sunlit if you want; we call it better walls. This is a painterly view from a bedroom through open blue shutters onto a calm sea, with palm leaves, a flower-filled vase and a soft patterned bed in the foreground.

Put it up and the room opens out. The sky blue and warm terracotta give a holiday feeling without leaning kitsch, and the loose brushwork keeps things easy rather than fussy.

It works best in a bedroom, a guest room or a light hallway where you want a breath of sea air. Hang it at eye level above a chest of drawers, or centred above a bed in a smaller room.

Pair it with linen bedding, painted wood, rattan and a few blue-and-white ceramics. The wrapped canvas edges give it a soft, painted-on-the-wall feel that suits the loose brushwork.
