Take a closer look and the design unfolds. Terracotta tiles ground the floor. Cool blues frame the window. Warm ochre shapes the figure, while a streak of brick red runs along the top panes like a gentle crescendo. Flat surfaces sit alongside subtle depth, guiding your eye from the tiled floor to the balcony and sky beyond. You can almost catch the first notes. No worries if you hum along.

• Colour scheme: ochre, slate grey, pale blue, terracotta, with a hint of brick red.
• Works beautifully with mid-century timber, black details, and neutral walls.
• Opt for a slim black or light oak frame to complement the lines and tiles.
