Italian Village Stroll Canvas Print portrait photography The flat colour and clear

The flat colour and clear shapes read instantly

Give it some breathing room — it likes a plain wall behind it

Anything soft-edged and natural will sit well next to it

Looks particularly clean in a black or oak frame

Even the brass in here starts looking expensive next to crisp black type on bright white

Italian Village Stroll Canvas Print portrait photography The flat colour and clearWith a folk village scene, scale decides whether the living room wakes up. Go a size larger than feels safe and the soft cream sky opens the wall up; the mustard skirt and rust roof drop in just enough warmth to lift a grey or beige room. It loves a chalky off white wall above a low sideboard, console or a reading chair, where you can sit with it. Pair with pale wood, woven rush, cream linen and a stoneware lamp. Avoid hanging it beside busy florals
