Ocean Cut Outs Underwater Paradise Canvas PrintNo, the navy lettering doesn't soften the room. It defines it. Hang this in a bathroom or kids' room and the whole wall starts to feel breezy and a little bit holiday. The warm sand background calms things down, while the cut out coral shapes give the space something playful to look at. Best above a towel rail, a bath, or beside a mirror where light bounces around. Pair it with white tiles, pale oak, woven baskets and linen. Skip heavy oil paintings,

Skip cool grey-blue rooms with chrome and glass

A stag stares straight back from a near-black ground

What to avoid: busy patterned wallpaper or anything that competes with the empty cream space — the airiness is the point

cool-toned and serious — this one wants a bit of fun

Don't crowd it with other busy travel posters or hot

Hang it and the wall starts to look like somewhere — a corner of a trip

The room around it suddenly feels lighter and more cheerful

Rooms go quieter when deep red is this sure of itself
