Venice Canal in Pink and Blue Art Print

Venice Canal in Pink and Blue Art PrintA living room this pared back can take one serious blue. The canal pulls all the colour into the room, so cream sofas, linen curtains and pale wood suddenly have something to lean against. Hang it above a sideboard or a low console on a quiet wall it does the heavy lifting on its own. Pair it with woven baskets, a stoneware lamp and one or two soft terracotta cushions to echo the coral houses. Skip busy patterned rugs or competing travel posters

a kitchen shelf or at the end of a narrow hallway

Avoid hanging it against busy florals or heavily patterned wallpaper

Keep the rest of the wall calm — this print does the colour work on its own

and even bolder colors

more playful mood

Printed on premium fine-art paper for crisp colour and a soft matt finish

Don't crowd it with bright pop pieces or busy florals — the painting wants a bit of space to breathe

Mornings feel a little more deliberate

Don't drown it in other busy art
