Put bluntly, your hallway can carry more deep red than it thinks. This Liverpool travel poster takes a red-brick city street and walks the eye straight up to the Liver Building, all under a big cream sky.
A blank hallway suddenly has a destination on the wall. The deep reds wake up the woodwork, the navy road grounds the whole thing, and the cream sky stops it feeling heavy.
Hang it at eye level on a narrow hallway wall, above a console in the entryway, or as a feature above a desk in the study. Portrait shape suits tighter walls between doors.
Works with oak floors, navy or deep red painted woodwork, brass switches, leather and a jute runner. Liverpool fans, obviously — and anyone who likes a proper city portrait.
Don't bury it behind coats and clutter; this one wants a clear wall. Choose unframed, or framed in oak or black with premium acrylic glazing.
