Sunlit Steps to the Blue Dome Canvas Print

Sunlit Steps to the Blue Dome Canvas PrintBecause the artist knew restraint, the soft pink wall hits harder here. Most of the painting is quiet cream and warm stone and that's what lets the clear blue sky and the small domed church sing. Hang it and the room feels a touch warmer, a touch lighter, like a window has been added. It does its best work in a hallway, an entryway, or above a bed on a chalky off white wall. Pair it with linen, rattan, oak and a few terracotta pots and it locks in.

The turquoise softens the air

The deep purple holds the wall like a painted panel

The room shifts from plain to atmospheric

Skip the slick modern frames and the gallery-white walls

It softens hard modern rooms and gives traditional ones a lift without shouting

or a sideboard in a hallway

it wants quiet neighbours

Perfect for your living room or dining area

the pink-and-green will do the editing

A real houseplant in the corner doesn't hurt

This Kamisaka Sekka still life from the 1920s brings a quiet bit of Japanese craft into the room — a deep red daruma

This piece brings quiet movement into a room without filling it up
