At late afternoon, the abstract cityscape turns from nice idea to main character. The grey wash quietens the room, then that streak of deep blue pulls the eye across the wall and holds it there. Hang it above a low sideboard, a writing desk or a linen sofa on a chalky off-white or pale grey wall. It works with pale oak or walnut, brushed brass, linen and stoneware in soft neutrals. Give it a bit of breathing room on either side — no busy pattern crowding the edges, no competing bright colour nearby. One clean lamp and a stack of books is all the styling it needs.
