Try it above the sideboard; the loose brushwork will do the editing. The cream ground keeps things calm while the pink, yellow and blue crabs add real personality.

A neutral kitchen or bathroom suddenly has a focal point. Walls that felt a bit blank pick up colour without going theme-y or kitsch.

Works above a console in a hallway, beside a bath, or over a kitchen sideboard. Looks best where there's a bit of natural light to catch the pinks.

Pairs well with rattan, painted timber, warm oak, glazed ceramics and pale linen. The canvas softens the watercolour edges and feels relaxed straight out of the box.

Don't try to match it to a strict navy-and-white coastal scheme — it's softer and more illustrative than that.
