For a hallway full of curves, this pub corner brings the check. The straight lines of the windows, columns and doorway give the eye something firm to hold on to. Hung up, it turns a pass-through wall into something worth slowing down for, with the dark green and gold reading strongly from a few feet back and the loose watercolour edges keeping it light rather than heavy. Good above a narrow console, along a hallway run, or in a snug corner of a living room near a drinks trolley. Pair it with aged leather, brass handles and dark painted woodwork. Don’t crowd it with busy patterned wallpaper this one wants a plain wall to sit against. As a canvas, the edges soften and it hangs straight onto the wall with no glazing shine.
