    About This Art

    Give the hallway wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This cheerful illustration of the Forbidden City rooftops brings warm yellow, sky blue and soft pink to a wall that is currently doing nothing. The room feels brighter, a little more travelled, and noticeably less serious. Hang it at eye level above a console, in a stairwell where people pause, or in a hallway that needs colour by the door. It works well with pale wood, rattan and warm cream linen, and looks happy beside woven baskets and stacks of travel books. Avoid pairing with very heavy traditional oils or dark gallery walls — this one wants air around it and a little daylight to play with.

    Are Fab canvas prints good quality?

    Absolutely. We use museum-grade canvas (the same stuff galleries use) stretched over solid wood frames. The canvas is thick enough that you can't see through it, and we wrap the print around the edges so there's no white border it looks finished from every angle.

    When people see it on your wall, they'll assume you bought it at a gallery, not online.

    Does it come ready to hang? Is it available framed?

    Yes to both. Every canvas comes stretched over solid wood and ready to hang - hardware's already on the back, just hang it up.

    You can choose unframed (modern, minimalist look - the print wraps around the edges) or add our real wood frame for a more polished, gallery finish. Either way, it's ready to go straight on your wall. No assembly, no extra trips to the frame shop.

    How do I know what size will actually work in my space?

    Here's the rule of thumb: your canvas should take up about 2/3 to 3/4 of the width of your furniture (like a sofa or bed). So if your couch is 180cm, you want something around 100-120cm wide.

    Too small of a canvas looks lost on the wall. Too big overwhelms the room. If you're between sizes, go bigger it's almost always better to have impact than to have something that disappears.

    Still not sure? Contact our team with a photo of your space and we'll tell you exactly what size will work.

    What's your return policy?

    If it shows up and you're not happy with it, you have 99 days to return it for a full refund—no questions asked.

    We've been doing this long enough to know that sometimes a piece just doesn't work in your space, and that's fine. Just email us and we'll sort it out.

    Will the bright yellow and orange overwhelm a small hallway?

    Not usually. The sky blue background and cream steps soften the warmer tones, and the print reads as one cheerful block of colour rather than several. Keep the wall behind it plain — chalky off-white or warm cream works best — and avoid hanging it next to other strongly patterned pieces in the same sightline.

    Does it work in a room that already has a lot going on?

    It can, but it wants room to breathe. If the sofa, rug and cushions are already patterned and colourful, hang it on the calmest wall in the room and resist adding more art around it. Against plainer walls and simple furniture it really shines — that contrast is where it does its best work.

    Is this recognisably the Forbidden City or more of a general Asian scene?

    It's clearly the Forbidden City — the layered yellow tiled roofs, painted blue beams, pink and orange wall panels and wide stone steps are all distinct features of the Beijing complex. The illustration style is playful rather than literal, but anyone familiar with Beijing or Chinese palace architecture will recognise it straight away.
