Sunlit Mediterranean Steps Canvas Print

Sunlit Mediterranean Steps Canvas PrintIn the 1970s, this would have felt radical. It still does. A hillside village climbs up the wall in warm terracotta, sand and dusty teal, with pink steps drawing the eye from floor to ceiling. Put it up and the room feels like late afternoon on holiday. The colours are warm but not loud, so the room still feels calm just a bit more sunlit than before. It works best on a tall, quiet wall. Hallways, the run beside a staircase, a bedroom corner, or above

but it can sit a touch higher above low furniture without losing its weight

on the wall behind the kettle

A scattering of cream stoneware doesn't hurt

The London Eye sits dead centre over a soft skyline

all clean lines and confident colour

soft clay or warm putty

The room picks up energy without picking up clutter

a tall red doorway

woven baskets and cotton stripes

simple ceramics and natural fibre rugs

A quiet wall stops feeling like a corridor and starts feeling like somewhere you're going

with table lamps either side to warm the colours in the evening
