At late morning, the Roman piazza turns from nice idea to main character. The room picks up its warmth: soft pink, orange, deep green and a little plum, all loose and hand-painted rather than stiff. Hang it where you want a lift — above a dining table, in a kitchen, at the end of a hallway, or on a wall the eye lands on first thing. It earns its place above a sideboard or console at eye level, and holds a narrow wall on its own. Pair it with warm woods, painted timber, rattan, linen, terracotta pots and glazed ceramics. Keep the rest of the wall quiet so the colour can do the talking. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
