On a warm afternoon, the terracotta looks almost illegally fresh. A flower market in Kyoto, painted in loose brushwork — old roof tiles above, buckets of yellow, blue and pink blooms below.
It brings colour to a quiet room without shouting. The orange roofline warms pale walls, the blue pots cool down anything too beige, and the bunches of flowers keep the eye moving across the picture.
Hang it in a kitchen, a sunny hallway, or above a console in the living room. It also works in a small breakfast nook where you want a holiday feeling first thing in the morning.
Pair with oak or pale timber, woven baskets, linen, stoneware in warm cream, and a few real plants. Brass fittings will pick up the mustard.
Don't put it next to busy patterned wallpaper or another loud travel poster — it wants a calm wall to itself. Printed on premium fine-art paper, with the option to frame in real wood.
