Ghost by the Sea, Matisse Inspired Canvas Print

Ghost by the Sea, Matisse Inspired Canvas PrintFirst glance: hot pink and coral. Second glance: the little ghost doing something smarter. Painted in the loose, sun soaked spirit of Matisse's open window pictures, this piece swaps the usual flowers for a quiet ghost peering out at a blue grey sea. It warms up a cool wall and adds a bit of wit to a room that takes itself a touch too seriously. Hang it in a living room, hallway or kids' room where you want colour and a smile. Pair with warm woods,

Keep the surroundings calm — let the red car do the loud talking

and the cream border keeps the whole thing settled rather than shouty

It looks like a quiet kitchen print

go bigger and it earns its place as the wink behind the bar cart

There's a reason mid-century illustrators kept returning to the cafe table

The blue sky lifts a low-ceilinged corner

the dining table

Give it a bit of empty wall — it likes room to breathe

Bold color and iconic style meet in this vibrant portrait inspired by Frida Kahlo

Pair it with linen sofas

and one warm red touch in a cushion or ceramic to pick up the caption

Avoid layering it near patterned wallpaper
