Pink Balconies, Old Town Art Print

Pink Balconies, Old Town Art PrintTry it above the sideboard; the vertical brushwork will do the editing. The pink and coral come forward, the teal sky settles in, and the room around it gets a clear focal point without much effort. Hang it where it can be seen from across the room over a sideboard, a console, or a low bench in a hallway. It pairs well with rattan, linen, warm oak and terracotta. Avoid putting another loud, colourful piece on the same wall; this one wants to lead.
