Pantheon Afternoon, Rome Art Print

Open the curtains at late afternoon; the soft pink will handle the drama. The Pantheon sits centre-stage, with terracotta buildings, green caf umbrellas and a scatter of yellow and red chairs in the square below.

What changes when it goes up: the room warms up. A neutral wall stops feeling polite and starts feeling lived-in, like a holiday memory you didn’t quite shake.

Where to hang it: above a sideboard in the dining room, in a kitchen with pale cabinets, or in a hallway that needs a lift between front door and first room. Eye-level works; slightly above a low piece of furniture works better.

Pair it with linen, oak or walnut, terracotta pots and cream stoneware. Cane and bistro-style chairs are right at home.

What to avoid: don’t crowd it with other busy travel scenes. Let it be the holiday in the room.
