Start with the soft pink; it'll wake every brass tap and pale timber surface around it. Six crabs in pink, blue, green and mustard sit on a chalky off-white ground, with shells, seaweed and a small starfish for company.

The room shifts from tidy to lived-in. Colour without clutter, summer without the seashell cliché. Walls feel less flat, taps and timber look intentional rather than incidental.

Hang it in a bathroom above the towel rail, in a downstairs loo, on a kitchen splashback wall, or beside a child's bedroom window. Eye-level works; slightly above a low cabinet works too.

Pair with rattan, painted tongue-and-groove, ticking stripes, soft linen and brass. Stoneware in dusty pink or cream sits very happily underneath.

Don't crowd it with other busy prints — let this one do the talking. On premium fine-art paper.
