Once the warm yellow enters, the whole room stops apologising. Sorrento glows on the wall lemons in the foreground, a domed church catching the light, mountains softening into the distance. The room picks up the holiday feeling without trying too hard. Pale walls warm up. Wood furniture looks richer. Even a grey morning gets a bit of southern Italy on the wall. Best on a kitchen wall, in a sunny hallway, or above a console near the front door. Pair with cream linen, oak or rattan, terracotta pots and glazed ceramics in yellow and green. Skip heavy patterned wallpaper or competing travel posters let this one carry the colour. Stretched on a wooden canvas frame, ready to hang straight from the box.
