Maiko Beach by Hiroshige Art Print

Maiko Beach by Hiroshige Art PrintOn a low winter afternoon, the deep blue of the sea looks almost illegally fresh. The twisted red pines and pale sand calm the room down before you've even sat. It pulls cool light into warmer corners and gives a quiet wall something to look at without shouting. Hang it at eye level above a console, low sideboard or reading chair, where the vertical pull of the trees has room to breathe. Pair it with pale oak, linen, paper shades and stoneware in soft

and the wall feels considered

Colours that were just sitting there suddenly have a job

a small dining table or a writing desk

breakfast nooks and sunny entryways

The pink ground warms everything around it

The wrapped edges sit cleanly against a chalky off-white wall

clear glassware and a few cream stoneware pieces

or above a sideboard in the kitchen

can be framed to complement its modern style and nature theme

a study or the wall at the foot of a bed

or a child's bedroom that's already leaning bright

while the blue sea keeps everything calm rather than busy
