Barcelona Courtyard Cafe Canvas Print

Somewhere between Matisse and maximalist illustration, this cityscape refuses to behave. It brings holiday energy into a room that has gone a bit safe. Soft pink, mustard and blue buildings do the heavy lifting, so a plain wall stops looking plain and starts looking deliberate. Hang it in a kitchen, a dining corner or a hallway that needs waking up. It sits well above a sideboard, a small dining table or a run of open shelving. Pair it with painted timber, rattan seating, patterned floor tiles and terracotta pots. Keep the wall itself quiet, and don’t crowd it with more busy pattern or heavy dark furniture on either side. As a canvas it reads softer, with a slight fabric texture over the colour.
