Leave the hallway wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This one asks for a bit more. Hang it and the wall stops being a passage and starts feeling like somewhere with a view soft green shutters, a curtain lifting, a canal going quiet in the distance. The pale greys and creams keep it easy on the eye, while the terracotta pot and red flowers give the room a small warm point to land on. It works above a console, at the end of a hallway, or beside a bed. Pair it with linen, cane, cream ceramics and pale wood. Don’t crowd it with busy pattern or hard black metal the brushwork needs a bit of breathing room. As a canvas, the thick brushwork reads closer to the original painting.
