Gaudí's Barcelona Charm Art Print

Gaudí's Barcelona Charm Art PrintBefore anyone mentions Art Nouveau, notice what the deep red does to oak. The whole room warms up. Walls feel less flat, timber looks richer, and a slightly stiff room starts to feel like somewhere people actually live. Hang it where you walk past it a hallway, the wall above a console, a study above the desk. Eye level works best, and a single light from one side lifts the rooftops and trees beautifully. It pairs well with linen, brass, soft ceramics

without tipping into novelty

Brass fittings and stoneware in warm earthy tones lift it nicely

Keep clear of busy patterned wallpaper and other red-heavy graphics

this kind of typewriter line belonged to another kind of home — desks

A bedroom feels softer with it on the wall

It also holds a narrow strip between two doors or above a slim console

Eye-level above a console or sideboard is the sweet spot

Let these playful creatures inspire joy and imagination every day

It works best on a feature wall in the living room

Don't put it in a strictly minimalist scheme that refuses to have a sense of humour

A previously flat wall now has a clear focal point that doesn't shout

corners feel considered
