Pastel wall art — A place for the picture

Pastel imagery uses lightened colours and often subtle gradations. Compare distinct outlines with areas that blend softly together. The relationship with a similarly light wall also affects how clearly the design reads.

Placing the picture beside furniture

Plan the position in relation to what is already there. Compare the picture’s orientation with the sofa, cabinet or shelves, and view the design from the position you will normally use.

Assess the complete design together with the detail view and the product options actually offered.
