Hang this where the warm afternoon light hits and the soft mint and butter yellow sharpens. A row of pastel surfboards racked on timber walls, shot up close. The room loosens up the moment it goes on the wall a holiday feeling, without leaning into clichd seaside motifs. Works above a bed, in a hallway, or in a kids’ room or teenager’s space. Pair with pale oak, linen bedding, rattan and sandy ceramics. Skip the rope, anchors and weathered driftwood signs nearby this one carries the coast on its own. The canvas softens the highlights and gives the pastels a calm matt finish.
