Open Window, Lemons and the Sea Art Print

Open Window, Lemons and the Sea Art PrintTest it this way: if the kitchen feels safe, size up. This Matisse inspired window scene is the piece that breaks the beige and gives a room a proper personality. The wall stops being a wall. The blue shutters, the red patterned counter and the lemons pull the eye through to the sea, so even a small galley kitchen feels like it has a window onto somewhere warmer. Hang it where you actually spend time above a kitchen console, on the dining feature

cream linen and a few blush ceramics

This William Morris exhibition poster brings a calm warmth to a flat wall without going twee

It sits beautifully above a cot

A hand-drawn lobster dinner — pencil on paper

It sits best where people pause: an entryway
