Sunlit Cafe Terrace, Painted Square Canvas Print

Sunlit Cafe Terrace, Painted Square Canvas PrintSeen beside terracotta tile, the cafe terrace loses nostalgia and gains grit. The brushwork is loose and the colour is turned up pink, coral, ochre and a hot deep blue sky. Put it up and a quiet room warms by several degrees. It pulls the eye in and gives a neutral kitchen or dining wall somewhere to land. Best above a sideboard, a dining table, or at the end of a hallway where it can be seen from the next room. Good in a sunny kitchen too. Pairs well

cream or chalky off-white wall really lifts the colours

navy and soft sky blue spilling out behind them

the slim grey-blue trunks add height without weight

Don't crowd it with busy florals or anything dark and heavy

This vibrant illustration captures the essence of a Frankfurt market with flowers and plants

Hang it on a bedroom wall above the bed

Don't crowd it with another busy pattern print next to it — let the gingham do that job

red-bearded face inside a swirl of blue brushwork that never quite settles

deep green velvet or warm cream walls

It works above a desk

brass fittings and a single trailing plant

dark heritage palettes or busy florals — the lilac wants air around it
